My son came home from kindergarten one day to inform us he wanted the LEGO Death Star. In turn I explained to him what saving and budgeting was. 😆. A few weeks later I watched him put something he wanted to buy back on the shelf and slide his money back Into his pocket. “What are you doing?” “Saving for my Death Star” he said.

A year and a half later he walked into the LEGO store and paid cash for it.

It took us 28 hours to build.

That was 7 years ago. Over the years he had scavenged parts of it. A few months ago he decided to repair it. That took about 20 more hours just to find the pieces in the thousands of other pieces and $117 on purchased bricks for what we couldn’t find. Oops. Lesson learned.

These were some of the best dad and son moments we have ever had.

Now we need to organize the rest of his miscellaneous pieces.

Thanks for the Ebooks. They should help.

Maybe we all need to channel our inner Godzilla’s from time to time

We will keep them. He is back into building so we will figure out how to store them for the short term. Then how to put them away until he has kids of his own
