''You know, there's always the talk about screen time. This is so much better than screen time because I get to do it with them," Dusett said. "And I grew Up loving Legos. I still get Legos for myself for Christmas. So this is really just kind of my wheelhouse. It's a lot of fun to just build and be creative."
