Can we return this???

This weekend we started a project. We hope to have it finished by the end of summer. We gave in and bought the play house at Costco. Friday night we stayed up until 11:30 watching the 40 min video of how to put it together, unpacking the 6 boxes of hardware and materials, and then sorting it out. It only took us about 20 minutes into this process before we both started saying, can we return this?? The directions say 10-15 hours for two people to put together.

Tyler was a great helper. We kept telling him that it wouldn't get finished that day but he didn't believe us.
They spent a good hour up there on Sunday, reading books and asking when it will be finished.
So this is the status. We even had Renee and Ben here helping for quite some time. We are about half way done, according to the directions.
Toby got sick this weekend. He got into his treat bag and ate about two pounds of treats- chicken jerky treats. We were pretty scared but I think he is on the mend now.


This is Roxanne- She wanted part of the action as I took pictures of Toby. I think her parents must cuddle up with her more than we do. She is seeming more and more needy every day.
Do you like my new ride? Pretty sweet car huh! No actually this is Kyle's car. Owner of the dog above. He is bringing his wife to Utah. Ang we are so excited to have you be a Utah resident again.
The bike shop is making some good strides. Yeah for SBR Sports!!!

What, Dan doesn't have a power ratchet? What kind of man did you marry? You just wanted to say power ratchet didn't you?

Your kids are so lucky! They will love that!
We've always wanted to get our kids one of those playsets, but now that I know how much work they are...maybe not. :)

Thanks Amy. I'm glad to be here too. Still a little confused, but happy to be in Utah.

Nolan thinks Kyle has one sweet ride. He's going to try to convince his company to get him one, too. :) Great pictures, by the way! I especially love the one of Ella reading her books. 'Hope your project goes well & is finished soon!
