It seems ‘world creating’ has become a thing in the EG Lair. It all started with Sinister building his own terrarium for a school project last term (which he scored 93%… Such a good little evil genius…) – 3 months later and it is still going strong, without any further […]
We all want the best for our kids. To be happy; To be smart; To be healthy; To be educated. The latest buzzword in parenting is “resilient”: we all want our kids to survive. Because in life, when you get knocked down, you need to get up again – swinging. […]
Last week, Sinister did all the prep work for his terrarium: Cleaning; and Foundation Layers. Now it is time to bring life to his project! Not all of these plants are going in – and especially not all of the Maidenhair Fern! Sinister is also doing a smaller ‘back-up terrarium’ in […]
If you really want to create your own world to conquer and command, you need to do some prep work. For those tuning in for the first time (slackers): Sinister has chosen to build his own self-sustaining terrarium for a science project. He has already researched what he needs and […]

Life skills. It’s all about the life skills. And with spawnlings, it’s all about how you SELL those life skills. Today, let’s focus on cleaning. *that choking, warbling sound you may hear in the background is EG Dad as he cracks up laughing, then stumbles across the EG Lair, stepping […]
It’s frackin’ awesome! </end> I know, it’s 3 mini-figs in a cool scene, but there are some amazing bits and I love the ingenuity of the dinosaur skeleton. But the part that really made it for me – the instruction manual. Let’s start at the beginning: We received […]
In years gone by (a looooong time ago, minions), people believed that evil things happened during eclipses.
