Three hours of our life are gone

And they were spent putting together these #@$% Playmobil sets. How was I not aware of the bazillion tiiiiiny little pieces that came with these? And to top it off, when the boys came downstairs this morning and found that we had put this together (did I mention it took three hours?) they were so excited. After the enthusiastic thank-yous however, the boys turned to each other and said "Want to go upstairs and play Spyro on Playstation?" and promptly ran off.

I basically had to forbid any sort of technological object to be turned on in the house and they finally played with it. And enjoyed it to boot. Who knew you could have so much fun with a toy? And you don't even have to plug it in.
