I practically needed an engineering degree to put together the girls' new barbie house (thank you grandpa pete & grandma paulette) this afternoon. It took over 3 1/2 hours, and I consider myself somewhat handy with things like this.
The next 1/2 hour we spent cleaning up the styrofoam packing bits that Cooper had shredded the entire time we attempted to put this thing together.
The boys have been banned from playing with the house, since they were talking about catapulting things from the roof & using their rescue heroes to scale the walls. I can't convince them that boys just play differently than girls. They PROMISED me they would be careful with it.
I still said NO.
I said, "What would Grandpa Pete say if I told him you wish you had gotten a dollhouse for Christmas?" :) Parker thought it would still be OK if it was in BOY colors instead of pink.
