Step # 2 The Play-set

With only 3 more days left until daycare starts, and the backpack issue settled, Rob and I decided that the obvious thing to do next is to build Toby a play set. Specifically, the play set we bought for him in April (because Rob can’t resist a Canadian Tire Sale) that requires a 2 person assembly that they estimate will take at least TWELVE HOURS. I don’t think our marriage has ever had to ENDURE anything that took 12 hours of our time. In fact, that’s EXACTLY the reason we have NOT been to visit Rob’s aunt in Australia. Even my LABOUR didn’t take 12 hours!

...And we wonder why the unassembled play-set has been sitting in our garage since April…

Glutons for punishment, we se to work on it last night after (Toby’s) bedtime. Three hours later our tired minds and sore backs headed for the hot tub and we toasted one another on successfully making it through Step #1 AND Step #2 of the assembly.

Only 30 steps more to go!

I suppose you are wondering what building Toby a play-set has to do with sending him off to daycare….

Well....so are we...perhaps it's guilt? Trying to get our minds off things? All the anticipated free time? (haha) The true test of our marriage? Something to make sure he still wants to spend time at home?

Whatever the reason, we are FAR too into the process to go back now and we've got a long, hot weekend of marital bonding and play-set assembling ahead of us…Can’t wait to see what Step #3 entails!
