Well, guess what? I won. Not the lottery, something much more rewarding than that. I figured out the stinking building sets and have one whole set completed. Only two more to go. Good thing it’s a long weekend for me.
After my post yesterday, I feel like I have to clarify a few things:
- My boys play with their toys. I may joke about them being put on a shelf and threatening grounding, but it’s all pretend so I sound like a tough parent. I’m not. Not really. My boys are never given something I don’t fully expect to be broken. That includes the furniture in my house, the vehicles I drive, etc. It’s also the reason why all church clothes are completely washable. I’m prepared for the worst. Kinda like a boyscout.
- I really don’t drink that much wine.
- I was exaggerating about the difficulties of these sets. They’re actually much worse than what I claimed. Much, much worse.
- I will more than likely buy another set if they come out with them. Why? Because I enjoy pain. Actually, because once I have this much of the set completed, the somewhat OCD part of me wants to have the whole set. And since they’re such a pain, I’m guessing they’ll go on a killer sale. And then the cheapskate part of me will also be intrigued. Meaning that the part of me that hates these sets will lose out. :( I can’t win.
- I lied about #2. Oh wait, my Mom reads this. Just kidding. Really. #2 is completely true. I promise.
Well, that’s about it. We now have a complete seeding system. And four happy boys. And one mama whose fingers are sore. But I did get a brilliant suggestion from a friend. SUPER GLUE! I may have to use that one for the next set.
Good night friends! Here’s a few pics just to prove that I did, indeed, finish…and that I’m not a mean Mama.
And now I’ll patiently wait for my own mother to call… ;)
Complete…and check out all the extra pieces, minus two that were actually needed. But I compromised with colors.
The tractor and seeder together. I can’t believe I spent this amount of time on this! LOL!
EJ was making sure that George wasn’t sharing any secret farmer information while Mom was taking photos. Priceless moments.
Farming the kitchen floor…nothing is better than this!
