Dear Lego Star Wars, Hi. How’s it going? First I would like to congratulate you on your super cool toys. Really. Well done. My kid and many of his other 8 year old friends – well it’s like crack to them. I’m not sure how you do it because looking at those Super Death Star [...]

Ben had his friend birthday party yesterday. His actual birthday isn’t until next Saturday but being the shrewd planner that he is (I wonder where he got that from) he decided to have his “friend” party one weekend and then his family birthday party the next weekend, on his real birthday.
