Well Genius and I are back from the Girl Scout trip to the Mall of America

We didn't buy a lot, but had fun anyway.
Saturday evening we ate at The Rainforest Cafe.
We had fun checking out all the creations at the Lego Store.
On Sunday Genius and Smart Girl had a blast playing at Nickelodeon Universe, while Smart Girl's Mom and me hit the ground running to cover as many stores as we could!

Unfortunately after this point no more photos could be taken as Genius's camera went kaput. The lcd screen is completely scrambled, and on Wednesday we will send it back to Fuji in order to get it repaired.

I have one very sad tween on my hands at this point, as we're pretty sure it won't get fixed and arrive back before our Disney trip in three weeks.

A hard introduction into the world of adulthood, where when things break down, we have to fix them or replace them. *Sigh* if only we could shelter them forever.....

Anyone who knows my family knows that Hubby and Genius LOVE Lego. I think we have almost every single Star Wars Lego kit produced (minus the ueber expensive ones). We also started collecting the Adventure set, but those didn't seem to go over on the market well, and so when we moved, those ones did not go with us. The top shelf of Genius' closet is filled with Lego in every size, shape and assortment that you can imagine. With the release of the new Indiana Jones movie -- Lego has a new line out, and Superhero Profiles has a giveaway to win one. If you like Lego as much as we do, check it out! Read the full story
