Some Assembly Required

After a fun afternoon of sledding at the Spanish Fork Golf Course, we went to Wendy’s and got something to eat.  We hardly ever get kid’s meals because they don’t eat all of the food, but we got them one today.  Of course, it had to come with the stupidest toy.  Seriously, what 3 year old or up is going to put this together and really play with it????

It was a 3D puzzle that took us each about 25 minutes to put together (with help from the boys) and kept falling apart as we did.  I totally beat Carlos, but Austin had already destroyed his before Carlos was done with Jaiden’s. 

 

This is him pulling it apart, saying he didn’t want it anymore, and that it had exploded.

This is Jaiden telling him to just be extra careful with it or something like that.

Then we went and saw the matinee of Yogi Bear, the kids really enjoyed it and Zach even let me stay in the theater most of the time! 

When we got home, Carlos was much nicer than I would have been and put Austin’s back together and reinforced both with tape.  They are still *mostly* together and they did play with them for a while.  We didn’t even bother putting Zach’s together!

It was a really fun day!  It’s sooooo nice when Carlos is home all day and we can do fun things together and I get some help with bed time, because I’m really hating that chore right now!  We’re thankful for days off once in awhile!

p.s. Austin asked me for some cheese and when I was looking for my cheese knife, which I had to wash because we eat a lot of cheese and it’s used a lot, he did this:

Silly kid!  I guess he still nibbles on things like a mouse sometimes!
