playmobil

It has been terribly cold lately...

In fact, after our big ski day on Sunday where it actively snowed all day both on the mountain and here in town, we were looking forward to a week of fun snow activities like sledding and snowman building. But not when the temps have been in single digits for the past three days - and that includes negative numbers!

Therefore, our adventures this week have included lots of indoor fun. Specifically, fun with playmobil. So bear with me as I present to you the new "city" that has taken over our living room downstairs...

First, there is the Playmobil Parks & Rec area:

There are fun skateboarding and four-wheeling races to watch:
... and a park for the kiddos!
Next to the park is Sam's Deli, open daily for your dining pleasure:

Here we have Playmobil's top notch Emergency Services team, including Police, Fire & Rescue and Ambulance:

This poor fellow made some bad choices.

Perhaps a night in the slammer will straighten him out.

Down the hallway is the desert island where the pirates hide their treasure:

Hmmmm, looks like the infamous bandit El Guapo and his band of robbers has cornered the sheriff:

Good thing the troops are on the lookout at Fort Eagle:

I wonder why the flag is at half mast?

Well, it was great while it lasted. As of this posting, Sam, Hamp and a friend are busy rearranging the city to accommodate their imaginations - which is awesome!

But I always cringe a little when the skater dude and the pirate and the police officer mix genres... but then again it's not easy having OCD and being a mother of little boys - bad combination! So I guess we'll just have serve the pirates donuts in Sam's Deli while the four-wheelers take a ride through the desert!!!
