Fun Fact Friday #6

Happy Birthday Legos!!!  It's been 50 years since Lego building bricks first hit stores!!!  And according to Time Magazine, 7 sets of Legos are sold every second by retailers worldwide.  Not THAT'S a lot of Legos.
I have to say...to this day, Legos are STILL one of my favorite toys!

Wow, 50 years. I love Legos, but have you bought any lately? Insane expensive now!

Actually, we tried putting together one of those Lego kits to make a cool spaceship or something and you needed an engineering degree...then the 8 year old came and threw it together in record time. Figures.

My son went through quite a few years of lego mania!! Every birhtday, Christmas and any other accassion he could think of, Lego's was on his list!! This lasted for years only ending about 3 years ago. It was a sad Christmas when I realized it was the first Christmas I could remember that I wasn't buying Lego's anymore.

Legos are awesome. I gave my hubby a Lego airplane set for Christmas and he spent all day playing. NOw the airplane is sitting on top of the tv in the bedroom. Maybe not such a smart idea! :-)
