LEGO Police station
Here, didn’t post this amazing police station that Benj & I made on Monday! We built it ground up. He is almost accepting my explanation of brick placement to ensure walls are secure. “Dad, the colours don’t match!” Also, the backdoor at the top – “people can just walk up like this…and then…weeee fall in!”…

With some help, the kids Christmas presents and some friends presents, are all wrapped up. It’s not even down to a week until Christmas. HASHTAG DEALT WITH! 🎁…

Calm kids
Both kids were at home today. Benj needed to stay off nursery to fully recover and H has an inservice day from school. Amazingly I did three hours of live chat without much of an interuption. That needs noted down, so proud of the kids
