This is what H and I did this weekend. Doesn't it look nice?
Ha. Just kidding. This is what ours looks like:
Okay, so it's not really that bad but it certainly isn't completely put together. I (naively) thought that we would be able to complete it over the weekend but it became obvious pretty quickly that was NOT going to happen. The instruction said that it would take two "reasonably skilled" people 20-24 hours to put together. What the instructions should have said was "Please add 2x the number of hours if you are parents to a toddler who suddenly becomes high maitenance."
Saturday was rough but thankfully, on Sunday, she was much, much better at entertaining herself while we worked. So what if that entertainment involved a lot of rolling around in the dirt in her undies.

She did step in to help us sometimes too. It was a little frustrating, the speed in which she put the screws in the holes, but we kept our mouthes shut and resisted the urge to take them from her and just do it ourselves. After all, what is another 10 minutes on a 24+ hour project?
Some higher deity only knows when this project will be finished. Today and tomorrow it's raining so we probably won't get a chance to work on it until Wednesday or Thursday. Really, I hope that it doesn't take longer than two weeks. If it does I might go insane. (I don't do well with unfinished major projects) Watch, we'll get it done right before we leave for MN. Which is in about 2 weeks! Sorry Ruby, guess you'll get to play on that after we get back!
