Look at the camera and say cheese! No, the airplane in the sky is NOT the camera!!
OK. Elerz look at the camera!! I am NOT behind you!!
No! Over HERE!!!
For Pete's sake child!!! Why do you insist on looking everywhere BUT the camera!!!
Does anyone else have this problem with their children?? I took about a dozen other pictures, but they pretty much look like this. No, my post title is not about cameras or photography or obedient children...blah...blah...blah this post is about WHAT Elerz is sitting in during the pictures.
She got this from my mom for her birthday. I opened the box up yesterday to assemble it and after pulling out all 2 million parts I realize I can't wing this and am going to have to look at the instructions. I notice first off that I need a screw driver, a hammer and a power screw driver! FOR REALZ!! A power screw driver?! Look at this thing, it is basically all plastic, all these parts should just snap in place!! So 1.5 hours later here is the finished product!! The only thing I did wrong was on the rear tire axle, I forgot to put the white hubcap thingy on before hammering the end cap on. BIG OOPS! I tried to pull the end cap off, but they are sort of designed to not come off, something about for safety reasons..blah.... so since I did not have a blow torch handy to weld the axle rod shorter and start over, I got my kitchen shears and cut through the hub cap and slid it into place and it totally worked. My kitchen shears are bent now, but it was all for the cause ya know? And I put all the screws in place with a HAND SCREW DRIVER!! I have the blisters on my hands to prove it!!!
HAPPY TRAILS ELIANA!!!!
I bought ours at a yard sale solely because I had heard they were a nightmare to put together! And yes, it's tough to get the kids to look at the camera!
ReplyDeleteKate ha that SAME one that my parents also bought her...but they put it together beforehand and apparently I should count that as a present for me too!!! :)
