I became a Lego lover when my sons were small, and though the Legos were theirs, I have to say that I like building things just as much as they do (still love Tinkertoys and Lincoln Logs and...whatever the bricks were that preceded Legos). I just bought a relative something called Zoobs and I'm hoping he'll let me play with them. :-D
At any rate, in Brazil recently, they built the world's tallest Lego tower. How awesome is that? And they let kids help, which makes it doubly awesome in my opinion. Here it is, via the website "Things I Think Are Kinda Cool."
And here's a video of some of the action:
I'm not one of those people who have to have the most, build things the biggest, set records, etc.,. but I did once take part in an attempt to break the bunny hop record (on Easter, of course). Here's the story (and that's me in the royal blue shirt):

So...are you a builder? And by builder, I mean that in the widest possible way. As in cake maker, knitter, sewer, cook...I'm sure you can think of some others. We all build in our own ways. I build books (mainly). What do you like to build?

My family are huge lego players, from a very early age. My 'building' includes knitting, crochet, sewing & embroidery. I always have a project on the go. Now I just need the time to do it all.

Mary, I hear you. I need/want to crochet a couple of rugs and some coasters and I have no idea when I'll get the time to do that, much less the mending/sewing I need to do! No embroidery, though. Years ago, I took a class and embroidered an elaborate picture with all kinds of animals and flowers made out of different types of stitches (it's still around here somewhere, probably in the attic), but it was so involved and time consuming that I think I fulfilled my need to embroider for life.
