We had another fun Lego day here! I feel like all my monies will be dedicated to overpriced Lego sets soon. I saw some that were crazy high priced. Like they are made of Star Wars gold. Girl, yes. I buy them for my nephews for most bdays/christmases and those things can get pricy. If you ever venture to Minneapolis, the mall of America has Legoland in it. Really? Is Legoland something I need to experience? I think I'm only 3 or 4 hours from there. Maybe?

They have really cool lego sculptures too. MOA has an amusement park that is nickelodeon themed and a really cool aquarium too.

We haven't really ventured out of Fargo yet and we've been here for three months.

Don't hate but my mom has made a macaroni salad my whole family loves, everyone else doesn't seem to love it though. It's ring macaroni, early peas, tuna, spam and lots of Mayo.

Speaking of Fargo, I got a goddamn sunburn today. It's so hard to tell how hot it really is because it's so windy. It's a mystery to me why Chicago is the "windy city" and not Fargo.

Levi's are super expensive. All 3 of my sisters kids are into legos. It's getting harder and harder to get them something in our price range. The oldest I just give Legos gift cards because all the ones he wants is hundreds of dollars.

Today went really well; the church service was nice and both kids made it through with minimal bribes (ahem, B).
I think I'm still in a partial food coma from brunch but I just found room for leftover cake and beef tenderloin, so. Kids crashed hard so we are watching Armageddon which is possibly the worst movie ever. It is only slightly redeemed by Bruce Willis, but even he seems kind of embarrassed to be in it.

Armageddon is terrible. Leftover cake is always a good choice though. Did you guys see the movie North. I feel lkike that was the worst movie ever.

He texted me that he laid her down, she fussed for 5 minutes and has been quiet since. But who knows if that will last. Guess we will see.
