This morning I finished my blocks project. I was supposed to just stick vinyl letters on them, but considering stickers can be easily peeled off, I figured I should paint the letters on. So I used the outline of the stickers (What do you call that--the negative relief of the sticker?) as stencils and painted the letters. This took a RIDICULOUSLY long time. And no, I am not exaggerating. After hours of tedious labor, I finally finished the blocks. And this was the first thing I spelled:
Yes, I used all the blocks. Yes, that flag is supposed to be an "E." Yes, I think it's close enough. Yes, I attribute my mad block skills to all the hours spent playing speed scrabble with my mom.
But since "hate" is such a harsh word and I didn't have enough blocks to spell "strongly dislike," I decided to change the blocks to a more uplifting message. So I left this love note for Christian and Richard:
Now that I think about it, I love these blocks.

Ha! i like the second phrase.
I don't stink like trash, just a stinky boy!
Ummm... Christian wrote that last comment. I do not smell like a stinky boy. He does.
Kerri--They are 16 blocks with 4 different letters on each. And they come with a guide so that you can find which blocks have which letters. Some letters are duplicated, but not all of them.
