Tonight we got started on my Lego birthday present for the year…the Lego Pet Shop.

This set has two instructions books, and they’re each divided into two sections. I imagine we’ll use the natural breaks to make this a four night project. Night one introduced us to one minifig:

One of the first things we got to do was build a little flower bed under what would later become a nice bay window:

This set is different from all of the other modular buildings, in that it is built in side-by-side halves. I really like this model, and hope Lego might do some other sets like this in the future…it looks so nice, and it mixes up the display options!

There’s a Lego bathroom, which is endlessly amusing, and an interesting micro build:

The spiral staircase may be my favorite detail so far:

But there are lot of other cool details, too, including a trap door!

This was only the bottom portion of one half of the building…I can’t wait to add to it!
