i love that weenie man


today was a fun day. i'm on a winning streak as far as putting things together so i decided to tackle the little red wagon t2 got for christmas from his grandpop and miss jackie. he's big enough now and the weather's getting really nice (as opposed to just nice) so there's no reason we shouldn't be sportin that ride around the neighborhood.
i dumped all the contents onto the living room floor and about 2 hours later, it was up and running. it took two hours because i put every single piece on the wrong way so after each step i had to undo what i'd done and put it on right.
i felt pretty proud when i was finished so i invited tayloe and the baby to join me for a walk around the block.
i think it was my dad who once told me that if there ever was something i didn't want to do again, i should do it wrong the first time.
i won't tell you what happened. you have to watch the video. but i will say i'm pretty sure i won't be putting anything together again anytime soon.
oh and also - no one was hurt.

Poor Dads. They are made to suffer. But T2 thinks it was pretty funny.

So glad there were no T2 casualties... because then I'd have to feel really bad for laughing so hard. :)

perhaps i should have known something was wrong when i saw the cotter pin lying on the floor after cat's disciplined direction following and construction job.

me: "whats this?"
cat: "i dunno"
me: "uhhh..ok. let's take t2 for a ride!"

kids got a red wagon and a soccer ball, what else could he need?

At 276 Main Street we laughed so hard tears came to our eyes! Reading directions is certainly not an Emery thing - you go Catherine!

If there were an Oscar for home videos, you'd win. Perhaps you should submit this to America's Funniest.

monty maybe you didnt see the "baby cam" cut away shots of a fumbling camera, black and red bolts of chaos, and the feel of sheer panic that the director was striving for...i feel you. re-shoot!
