Headboard assembly project: CONQUERED!

I consider myself to be pretty handy, but given the right circumstances, I will shy away from a project now and again. Recently, we've decided to move our youngest to a big boy bed, and my parents generously purchased one for us-some (read: ALL) assembly required. I put it off since it required removal of non-baby-safe objects from his room and increased supervision to make sure he stays in his room overnight. This week, we will need an extra bed, so I decided now's the time and tackled it. Here's how it all went down during naptime today.

Step 1, 1:42pm: This is what I started with.

Not so intimidating, right?

Step 2, 1:48pm: Commence Inventory and gather tools. Check!

Note: King Cryolophosaurus is keeping me in line. 

Step 3, 2pm: Read Instructions

Crap-it says 1 man is not enough! Thank goodness I have the King here with me.

Step 4, 2:05pm: Commence construction

(Censored-This is a FAMILY blog, after all!)

Step 5, 2:49pm: Complete!

FYI: it's face down because I still have to nail the backing down. The baby is sleeping, so that has to wait.

Turns out, the instructions say you need 2 men to do the job, but I only needed 1 woman!

(Sorry, King!)

I AM WOMAN! HEAR ME ROAR!
