Last night was my nephew’s 8th birthday.  Carlos and I got him the Lego Batman Tumbler and Ice Cream Truck set with the Joker and the Wario Shake It came for the Wii.  He was so excited.  The best part, is that these toys get to stay at our house, so when he isn’t there WE get to play with them!!!  It’s awesome.  I never thought it would be this way, but I am totally going to be that parent that when their child gets a project to do I’m going to do it for them.  I know it.  After he opened his presents, he naturally wanted to play with them right away.  He went for the Legos first… so Carlos when for the Wario game first.  I went with him with the Legos and we began to build.  Well, I began to build.  First, using the instructions, I put together the Joker Ice Cream Truck.  It is so cool, and it was pretty easy.  It is so funny because he tries to put the stickers on and I’m like “No!  No!  They’re crooked!  Let me do it!”  even though they are his toys.  lol.  After that… it was on to the real challenge.  The Tumbler!  Let me show you what it looks like in the movie so you get an idea of what it is I was about to build out of Legos.

Umm.. yeah.  This instruction book was so long it was ridiculous.  My nephew took one look at the book and handed it to me.  So now, constructing this crazy machine was all up to me.  After 2 hours of flipping back and worth through pages, frustration, and hard work, I did it.  I built The Tumbler. 

The top flips up and it can shoot!  Here’s a picture of my nephew shooting this little thing out of it.  You can see it in mid-air!
