As promised, son number 2 finally carted his Chocolate vampire zombie bunny, and a series of terrified Lego men, out to the front lawn to set up a massacre.
It was a hilariously funny afternoon, and I apologize if the photos aren’t of the expected standard. We spent so much time laughing and knocking everything over that the sun nearly melted the chocolate before the Lego men had a chance to do the bunny in themselves.
We started with the customary ‘run for your lives’ scene, but I noticed that the Lego men were heavily armed. I knew then that they wouldn’t be running for long and that it would soon turn into a bloodbath er, fondue?
ruuuun!!
It wasn’t long before the tide of battle changed, one Lego man delivering the killing blow and impaling the bunny with a mighty leap. (Actually, the boys got hungry watching all that chocolate and couldn’t wait for the smashing to begin.)
The death-blow
Of course, war does strange things to a person, as evidenced by this Lego man gouging out the bunnies eye with a spear and holding it aloft. I was pleased to see that the other Lego man had a suitably shocked look on his face.
"the sarge aint gonna like this"
I didn’t notice the expression on the man in the background until I was about to press the button. It was so funny I nearly dropped my camera, and it took me some time to stop laughing and actually get the shot. 🙂
We finished with the traditional ‘to the victor goes the spoils’ scene, with the eye-gouger still holding his trophy, and obviously in need of counselling.
Lego rules, OK.
You will be pleased to know that the corpse was not wasted, and was partially eaten before it even made it back into the house.
All I will say is LMAO!!!
Oh I am so going to pass this on! Another lovely blogger called Sweet Mother just did a blog on kids’ imaginations and your lego war is just so in sync with that!
Awww thanks! 🙂 I read that post too! I am still laughing about the death of the bunny. Son number 2 actually used a tiny lego axe to hack the head off! It took some time as we were all laughing so much.
You know what amazes me the most? The fact that your boys had the willpower to wait so long! My nephew would have been all over those bunnies like a rash two minutes after receiving them! You’ve got great kids 🙂
They are very funny little guys 🙂
Actually we never really have lollies in the house so you would think they would be all over the easter eggs like a seagull on a chip. In reality, I usually end up chucking half of their eggs in the bin in a few months time as they have forgotten to eat them.
To stop the waste they got very few eggs this year and nearly all have been eaten already. They haven’t seen the grandparents yet though, so I might be throwing some away in the future anyway….
Aaaaah … the grandparents 😀 Yes, I suspect you’re going to have to just smile and look away when the eggs come out.
<3. I only hope my girls are as fabulously entertained by such imaginative play.
Thanks 🙂 I am sure there are some out there that would call it evil, but I think of it as imaginative play too!
how in the heavens have i not visited here before??!! i love this. good lawd. you could call the whole thing easter coup de grace or some other such loveliness. xoxo sm
I’m glad you like it! The boys love Lego, and really any excuse to enact a scene of slaughter will get the creative juices flowing in any little boy 🙂
I remember many years ago a friends small son called me into his bedroom to see what he had created. He had made a massive scene of destruction with a pile of hot wheels cars and when I was positioned to get the maximum effect he raced over to the stereo and pressed play. Black Sabbath roared from the speakers, the perfect soundscape for the pile of twisted wreckage. I was so proud, and he wasn’t even my kid!!
Phantastic Phun ! ( Sorry, I understand there’s a dearth of ‘F’s ‘ today. The kids obviously had a great time and you weren’t phar behind. Well done !
It was a great deal of phun. 🙂 Every time I think of the look of horror on the face of the background guy in the eyeball photo I start chuckling again. The world is a better place for the addition of Lego people.
This was so awesome! Loved it!
I’m glad you liked it. It was a very fun afternoon, if only I had had as much lego as my kids when I was young I might never have left my room!
The poor bunnies only lasted mere moments after their dismembered bodies were bought back into the house…mmmm… delicious spoils of war….
