Owen's Lego Binder

My house is riddled with legos.  We have bins for them, we have Lego cases, we even have several brand new, stackable plastic boxes with very cool tops that could easily house these little spiny, plastic creatures.  None of this happens of course because as everyone knows, Legos are best played with when they are in plain sight on my coffee table.  The very presence of them spread across a flat surface must instigate all kinds of creative brain activity.  Legos live on the coffee table for weeks on end sometimes, until I've finally had enough and I have a mini anxiety attack and all of the boys in the house (including Jim) start cleaning up - fast.  I think I scare them.  This is good.

Legos come with flimsy, twice-stapled instructional booklets.  Twice-stapled.  The geniuses at Lego must not realize that anything twice-stapled will not hold up to a child, much less children. 

Enter the lego binder.


Look at what my little smartie-pants came up with.  This child is brilliant, I tell ya!   Look at that cover - straight to the point, no hemming and hawing about what this binder contains.  Functional, concise - brilliant!  On the inside, insert the flimsy, twice-stapled books into clear page protectors and BAM - contained!


BAM!


As you can see, big stuff is going on up here in Effingham County!  Watch out world!

Owen is brilliant!! Rees can do the same now with his Lego instruction booklets. (By the way....ours fall apart all the time too. We need to revolt against the two little staples!!)

Lego booklets should come spiral bound with plastic coated pages. We know this - why don't they?
