Easter house

Annabelle received a foam Easter house that you assemble for her birthday. With Sarah being born just a couple weeks later, I was too tired to help her put it together for a while. Finally, the week before Easter, I told her we would put it together and have it on display for Easter. We decided to turn it into our family home evening activity. I thought that everything you needed was included in the box. After we got the basic house part put together, I realized that foam glue was actually not included and the house couldn't be built and decorated without it. So we took it apart and a few days later, we went to the store to get foam glue. Annabelle wanted to hold it and somewhere between the craft section and the checkout aisle, she put it down. I bought some other items as well and so I didn't even notice that it wasn't with my other purchases until we were driving home and Annabelle remembered that she had left it somewhere in the store. At this point, Easter was 2 days away and I wasn't going back to the store, so the house wasn't out for Easter. Last week, I finally got the glue and over the course of 3 days, we were able to make her Easter house. It was a very long tedious process because we could only glue a few decorations at a time and then we'd have to wait a day for the glue to dry before adding more. Anyway, it's finished. We put it out for a few days and now it's stored away with the other Easter stuff until next year.
