Lego

I hope you had fond memories of playing with Lego when you were a child. The Lego store we visited in New York was a great playground for those young and old!

We really enjoyed exploring the Lego store at Rockefeller Center. I remembered that it was still under construction when I was there last year (2009), so I was happy to see it finally open! Remember the walls from M&M's World? Well, instead of candy, they had a giant wall of Lego pieces here.

Remember Dylan's Candy Bar? Well here, instead of filling your pails and bags with candy, you can fill it with Lego from the wall! Here is a close-up of the wall:

Very bird house-like! Can you see Lego birds perching there? =)

What do you think? I bet you've never seen Lego abs before! ;)

This was another neat feature of the store. There are these little peep holes in between the shelves that show New York scenes - in Lego of course. The one above is of the subways.

The one above is a whole re-creation of Rockefeller Center, it is quite amazing to look at and see all the Lego action.

How about some Lego cupcakes? I made these just two days before our New York trip for Paul and Ashley. We are wishing you a happy marriage and hoping that your life together will be full of joy and sweets!

Roxy

So what did Howard make for me last week? Roxy!
Last week, Howard and I were downtown for brunch at the Gladstone Hotel. After, we walked around Eaton Centre and some surrounding stores. At Urban Outfitters, we saw cupcake bandages, cupcake lip gloss, and do-it-yourself toys! I totally resisted the cupcake merchandises and we got the toy.

So we bought one in the colour white and back at home, Howard designed and painted mine. He named her Roxy and she is a cute little cupcake baker! We even have matching oven mitts, he painted them the exact blue.

I think that she's adorable. Have you checked out her cute little bum? And the little belly - from all the baked goods!

I think she will bring me much delight in the kitchen! =)
