My Legos are BACK!
They were supposed to be in the garage until we moved but for some reason them being packed away in the garage made people buy me more sets. I did also have a birthday earlier this month and, of course, I got a lot of Legos. My mom bought the big triceratops Lego set on clearance for a super great price, so she was able to me a second present-the old Wii Skylander's Giant! WHAT A BIRTHDAY! My Grandma got me an awesome Lego set for my birthday which is the new space galaxy set. So many awesome pieces!!!! SO MANY!!!! I also got some little sets in addition to those.
Then my mom found the Millennium Falcon on clearance, so she snatched it up when she had the money! It was their last one too, so many folks grabbed it when the price went down a third time!!! I can't play with it though, but I did put it together. It has to be used for stop-animation so it needs to remain built.
Then we were at a Lego booth at a hobby show when we saw the Hogwart's Express. It is retired, and mom said we will use that, the Hogwart's Castle, and track down a Diagon Alley for a set...but those will have to stay built when we get them....that's so tough for me.
Those were some big deals on some big sets, and I got a few little sets too, so I kind of got new Legos to replace the Legos tucked away, and that is way awesome. Now the Legos are back out but in our room taking up major space. They're also not organized. I should take a picture of them, then take a picture when we sort them and put everything up. I think I will do that.
By the way, anyone watch the Super Bowl? Did you see our commercial? Really, it wasn't the stop-animation Lego commercial like we tried to do last year, but really it was the same. It was the milk commercial with The Rock; he ran out of an apartment (that's how we start), saves a cat in a tree, runs down the street, stops a bank robbery (they weren't scary gross clowns though and we didn't like those ugly clowns), saves an old lady from getting hit by the bus (same as ours) but then ours goes the police officer stops the light rail train to find his son's teddy bear and catches a ride back lights and sirens with the police and fire department to give his sleepy son his lost teddy bear back. Really, they stole our commercial, and I put it here and on my old website way before they made super bowl movies, and Mom entered the concept last summer when I started the can drive so we could make the full commercial.

P.S. Santa Came!
I just looked at my blog to check the link, and I realized I never reported on what Santa gave me for Christmas, only that he didn't get me the Lego Death Star, but he DID bring me Lego's! In fact, it's all he brought me except for a Hot Wheels set which is way awesome, it goes on the wall and is almost as tall as me!
Santa Claus brought me two Lego Atlantis sets which are way cool! They're really big, and I don't even know how he got them because I haven't seen them out anywhere at all and they're exactly what I asked for when I was 5. He also brought me the biggest Lego Harry Potter Hogwart's castle! It took me all day to build it, and in between building that I built the Atlantis sets. I got so many awesome and unique pieces, I think Atlantis actually had way more unique pieces than any other set I've seen.
The day before Christmas my mom learned that the two presents she was going to give my sister and I, which we picked out ourselves, but in the end she couldn't afford them and she was trying to see if there was a way to save them and she even had to take me out of my gymnastics (I want to be an Olympic gold medalist...and a professional football player, then I will be in the Air Force as soon as I'm old enough) but she was trying to save money and still didn't have enough. She had our stuff on layaway at Walmart, and then Walmart called on Christmas Eve and said a Secret Santa came and paid our two presents down to a penny! And we had a penny! So we got our stuff, my sister got an annoying Furby, and I got-the biggest Lego Dino set! It came with so much, including a t-rex and a couple of velacoraptors-I stood in the Lego section inspecting every Lego set and picked that one out! And thanks to a secret Santa, or maybe the real Santa, I got even though my mom said we probably couldn't get those presents after all! So I got some way cool Lego set! What I thought was interesting was that I didn't get anything I actually asked for, but I still got stuff that I wanted. Thanks Santa!
Anyways, I wanted to update everyone with what Santa brought. It wasn't the Lego Death Star, or the Lego Millenium Falcon, but it was still some cool Legos! Can't wait to see what I get for my birthday!!

Life Cereal Lego Contest Winner Announced!
I didn't win-boohoo! But a 10-year-old named Rachel did, and her sculpture sounds AWESOME!
http://www.quakeroats.com/lifecereal/PromoOver.aspx
My mom, sister and I think it is a great idea, a large minifigure built by little minifigures. I hope to go see it somehow! It sounds neat, I like watching things being built and I love to collect minifigures, so I'm okay I lost to her. I like to tell myself that the contest took so long to decide because they couldn't choose between my Rube Goldberg dino vs. dragon structure and hers. I'll sleep better.
In a little, I'll post the back massager I made out of the Legos my mom let me keep in a small box while we wait to move into our new house. I've also been sneaking into the garage to play with my big box of Legos, I just can't let all those Legos sit out there, alone and unplayed with. It's just depressing and I bet they're lonely and miss their Lego friends. You know what's funny-my birthday is coming up and I couldn't help myself, I knew my Grandma had her gift for me in the back of her car, because my mom went with her to pick it out and I peaked really fast. I'm getting a Lego set! The box was white so I'm not sure which one, I can tell it isn't Lego Star Wars, Lego City, or Ninja Turtles, so I'll have to see what's left of Legos. Or I can wait a week and see what it is when I open it-but who wants to wait that long!?!
Anyways, that's all for now! I'll catch you all later!

I Miss YOU LEGOS!!!
I miss my Lego's. My mom is ill. It is obvious. She packed my entire Lego section away. Why?!? The pain! The AGONY!!! MY HEART IS BLEEDING!
She said they need to go until we move into our own house, so I'll be an old, old, old, old man when that happens. She'll be so old she'll be dead by a thousand years but she hopes that it will be this spring. That is a really REALLY long time! Have you seen my Lego area? It was a whole room but I guess that was the problem, that it was a whole room.
We're praying for a miracle, that we get our own house but that's not all, we're praying that the house will have an entire room for my sister and I to play in, put the Lego's in and her dolls in and her Lego Friends in, and there will be a wall section that can hold my Hot Wheels. Santa got me a huge Hot Wheels set that goes on the wall, but you have to have three feet of left wall and tons of feet for the right side of the wall, and we had 2 feet 10 inches on the left, so it didn't quite all fit but I got it to fit well enough.
I did hide some Legos in a game box, and a shoe box, and some in my room, so I have something to build but my drawers and towers filled with Legos are emptied and sitting in the garage, waiting for the big day. BooHoo.
And on another note, I'm still waiting to hear from Life Cereal's Lego builidng contest. They were supposed to pick the big winner in early January, but every time I look I don't see the winner. I hope they're just waiting for my birthday, which is coming up, to post my Rube Goldberg inspired Dragon vs. Dinosaur. I wanted a fire-breathing dragon fighting with a t-rex, and thought some Lego sized Lego people should be trying to keep them apart so they don't destory their Lego sized Lego world, but when my mom submitted it right before the deadline, it was rejected as breaking the rules. We weren't sure what rules were broken, because it mentioned Rube Goldberg, as that's the way the Lego people were to move and try and keep everyone apart. But we also weren't sure if it was because my Dragon and Dinosaur were fighting. (I wanted my dinosaur to be trying to bite the head off the dragon) We had to think super hard, and fast, about how to change it and we did, now they were playing tag and Dragon gets so excited he breathes fire and burns everything down. Tag is my favorite game in the whole world. I love to play tag, so we decided they could play tag. That submission took, so if you look me up, Derek, and I'm 8, you can see my paint-version of my submission. We learned the hardest way ever that the scanner no longer works with Grandma's new laptop, because it doesn't hold the software, so we had to quickly put everything into a paint file and submit that-we already took down the display in my Lego area.
so there's my update. I miss my Legos, I hope I win.
P.S. Santa didn't bring me a Lego Death Star :(

Miners Contest
The bad news. I have not been doing homework and we have been one cranky family laterly so I did not get my Lego mine car creation in for the contest. Wah!
More bad news.
We got a new dog Sparky and he is cute but when I had my Lego plates out that measured 6 feet by 6 feet for the big 6 foot Florida contest he PEED on the plates. Totally walked by where it is now blocked off by a baby gate and lifted his leg and peed through the fence. YUCK!!!! Hey, want to see a picture of my lego area!?
Yup! That is me and my Lego section. It was disgusting. We had to rent a special carpet cleaner to clean the whole place up.
Anyways, here are some more creations I made. Here is a spaceship
Here is a section of castle with a secret door.
And here I made fangs!
I need to take more pictures but mom says I need to do more homework...
Oh yay, maybe some good news, there is a radio station here that has a christmas wish contest and I woke up early after being Mr Bill for Halloween and wrote it and mom was going to drive it down to the station but she didn't have time so she just e mailed it. Guess what I wish for!!!????
THE LEGO DEATH STAR! AND MILLENNIUM FALCON!!! And a star destroyer and tie fighter. I sure hope I win! DEATH STAR! DEATH STAR! DEATH STAR!
