THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

What the heck?

DateMonday, December 20, 2010 at 11:07AM

Okay, someone please tell me what the designers were thinking when they added this as one of the days for the Lego City Advent calendar:

This is one of the days that the boys opened over the weekend. It's Santa taking a shower (apparently wearing a black thong)! While I find it hilarious (and think that they should have given Santa a bigger belly, lol)...I really do have to wonder what was going through their minds... ;)

We have last years Lego Advent Cal - so this is NOT what we opened today! I kept waiting for you to say your boys mixed together several sets to make this:)

Yeah, the girls sent me a photo on my phone and that was my reaction as well. Apparently Sarah said EWWWW! as it was her turn to open City. I am hoping that a later door will be a Suit for Santa. I suggested that maybe he was showering at a beach shower on his after Christmas vacation?

The Castle advent calendar must not have been as exciting, they didn't even tell me what that was.

It looks like a gangbanger (the kerchief on the head) washing his butt, drooling on himself (the white "hair")

I almost choked on my dinner after reading Vanessa's message. LOL. Too funny.

Oh we KNOW what was going through their minds. And we are not happy 'bout it. :)
