Check out the craftsmanship on this house!!! Of course this was Day 2 of spring break. The kids encouraged me to get started early on this. I didn't mind because it mean it would keep them busy the entire day. There is one story I have to tell before I get into this. Years ago, before Kevin and I even got engaged, I had lived in an apartment briefly with four girls. I splurged and got myself a desk for my computer. Then I attempted to assemble this desk all on my own. Now, normally, I can put things together. This however, was a challenge. Apparently reading direction is really important. Later, Kevin came over and saw what a botched job I did and had to fix it. Since then, he always teases me on how I don't read directions. Lately, I've been trying to do that (but I will say since this incident I have assembled many things such as medicine cabinets and kid toys with no problems).
Everything seemed pretty straight forward with the house...just insert and click. However, the directions did tell me to put screw where there were no holes. I repeat, the directions told me this!!! As you can see, however, the house is standing and it's not crooked (as far as I can tell). The kids helped put the stickers on and the put together the little inside doohickeys.
They pretty much spent the rest of the day in the house. They even ate lunch and snacks in it. Tori got some of our extra cushions to sit on inside the house. Her friend that visited really enjoyed being around for the house unveiling. The next door neighbor girl even came over (for just a bit).
That was pretty much day two...that was enough! Day three...a second sleep over and the kids' first dentist appointment in Tucson...oy!
