Assembly Required

Doug and I completely forgot a crucial component of a child's birthday this year .. assembling the gifts. So it wasn't till his naptime when I went to wrap his stuff that I realized he is now the age when you have to start building his toys. I managed to construct his garage, which required the use of multiple screws. The hilarious thing about the building instructions is the number of requirements put into air quotes, i.e. "snap" the ramp into place. Even the manual writers are laughing at just the thought of you trying to assemble the thing.
