Medieval Market Village

It finally came! After months of waiting to save enough money, backorder waiting times, and a much anticipated arrival, Will's Lego medieval market village arrived by UPS yesterday evening. You could feel the excitement in the air! Even Betsy must have sensed the air of joy around the impending arrival because she let the UPS man pet her! (she had our last UPS man too scared to bring packages all the way up to our door)

Excitement began to mount when we received word that the scheduled shipping date of April 23rd had been moved up to March 23rd!

As soon as supper was over, the building began...



It is without a doubt one of the most detailed sets we have ever assembled down to the hairbrush for the serving wench and horse poop for the stables. The windows open and they overcharge for fresh flowers. It even has a rat so your villagers can get the plague! :o)
Will was up before 7 am just to play with it. They rigged up a blue background and a green screen for their current Lego movie in progress...

I got to say. I'm really impressed with this one. And I hear that no Medieval Village is complete with a rat.

Hey, Carrie! Any tips on homeschooling since you seem to be so great at it? We will be homeschooling Ike's English next year and maybe for the following couple years so that he can go to Chinese school. What curriculum do you use???? HELP!!!
