Blocks are such a timeless toy. My children have been playing with this particular set for many years. Yesterday morning, before school, the kids wanted to build a block city. John has been especially interested in attempting asymmetrical buildings, experimenting with balance and proportion. When the city was completed it was determined that half of the city would be under siege by a variety of Star Wars figures while the other half of the city would be a great place for a Lego police chase. John begged to leave the block city up until his Dad could see it that night. I agreed, as long as we didn't have to show the house.

Ten minutes later the phone rang.
We had to show the house.
