I built the Lego Space Police Smash’n’Grab model 5982 with my son. It took us a little over 30 minutes to build but in this video we build it in around 1 minute :-)

I’m sick again :-(

One difficulty about being a parent that is getting sick all the time! It used to be I’d be sick maybe a couple times a year. Now it it seems like 5 plus time a year. It is especially hard with a baby or toddler as they are all over you all the time sneezing everywhere with snot running down their face all day. You can only wipe their nose so many times a day :-) I realize it is part of building a child’s immune system, but I just wish it didn’t mean building mine as well :-)

Before kids, when I was sick I’d just lie in bed and sleep or lay on the couch watching the tube most of the day. Now you have to deal with a sick kid, contract their sickness, then deal with a kid while sick :-(

Parenthood has so many great aspects, but the sickness is one of the bummers.

I recall one day years ago when both my wife and I had a really bad stomach flu. My son was around 2 years old. We were both laying on the floor taking turns getting to the bathroom while trying to take care of our son! The good part was I remember him being really good about the whole situation. He’s such a good kid :-D That was a tough day I’ll never forget :-)

Fortunately my wife and children get over being sick very quickly :-) Unfortunately I don’t :’(

But hey, it’s all good!

I built the Lego Power Miner Rock Wrecker with my son. Of course it is sped up a bit :-) It was fun to create! Enjoy!

This is a response to this Lego time lapse video at WindowFruit.com .

A friend started a new blog called WindowFruit.com. Tim created a very cool theme! It starts with a nice time lapsed Lego building video :-) 

Good luck with the blog!

I’ve used a CPAP machine now for a couple years and my main issue is it can cause my eyes to dry out a bit. I ended up getting an eye mask and it really helps alleviate the eye dryness. It does not completely eliminate my dry eyes, but it really helps cut it down.

I’ve read others use goggles that are available to wear when sleeping.  I like the softness of the eye mask and the ease of sliding it up my forehead if I need to see while I’m wearing my CPAP mask.

The mask pictured is the one I purchased on Amazon. There may be better ones, so of course look around, but this one has done the job for me. It is a good price as well :-)

Please keep in mind, this works for me but may not work for others. I hope it does help
