Hello Tacklers!
It is me – Janice with another tackle.
As usual, there are countless areas of my house that need to be tackled. I should have chosen one of the organizing tasks that are screaming out for me. But instead, I chose something fun and something that simply needed to be tackled ASAP.
This Step2 50’s Diner toy arrived a couple weeks ago for us to review.
It had been sitting in our living room waiting for me to get around to building it. And while Jackson was having fun climbing on the box – I figured the kids would probably enjoy it a bit more if we actually assembled it.
So time to tackle!
I had grand plans of assembling it all on my own. (I am one of those wimpy girls that hollers for my husband if tools are involved.) I was going to proudly show off my project to you, that I did all on my own.
But at the last minute, I wimped out. There were screws in there ladies! I know I could have done it on my own. But I hollered for hubby and he saved me with his power drill.
So here is our tackle – our family project this weekend. (Olivia enjoyed “helping” with the stickers.)
It is all complete – except for one missing knob. I am not sure how we misplaced that.
Even 4’4″, six year old Jackson can fit in to play with his sister. It is so cute to see him squeeze in to play with her. They even have been eating some meals in there!
Both of them love it – I am sure glad we assembled it. It is a hit! (Olivia is currently playing with it while I write this post.)

Not cleaning exactly, but I put up a box of peaches. Lots of cutting, peeling, bagging and freezing all morning!

Kimberly/Mom in the City says
Great tackle. It’s fun, but not easy going through every thing for toy holiday guides/giveaways.
This week I’m “tackling” learning to drive (yikes!)
Aloha Monkey says
That’s a great project. The kids look happy.

Fun tackle! I’ll be looking for the giveaway this fall. We could use one of those in our toddler room at church.
susieshomemade says
That’s a great tackle! I shout for my husband too. It takes him half the time and it is much sturdier than what I could do.
Elizabeth says
Oh that looks like lots of fun!! Great job tackling it!

Cute kitchen set! I can’t believe you put it together. Usually I try to buy the floor model so I don’t have to put it together!

earthlingorgeous says
oh! I envy you there in the US for having fall decorations thingy, we don’t have that here maybe that’s why we look forward to christmas that’s why decorations are up so early here.
earthlingorgeous says
I haven’t tackled anything today but yesterday, I was enjoying the work so much I forgot to take the pictures.
I moved the sofa and the tv cabinet to the other side. Yup I can move furniture’s despite my petiteness.
Brandy says
I can’t believe it is almost that time of year again. What a tough job your kiddos have, I bet they are taking their job serious, lol.
Forgetfulone says
Great tackle! The little ones seem to think so, too!
Beth Ann says
Oh that looks like SO MUCH FUN!!!! Love it!
Feels good to have something done, even if it is laundry again!
I kept picturing someone’s grimy fingers all over my clothes. Yuck!
Happy week to you all!
Lisa says
Good tackle – I think it’s great to involve the family!
That looks cute – where were the cool toys like that when I was a kid?
sprittibee says
I tackle things a lot, but it never seems to fall on Tuesday. 😉 So finally, after three plus years of blogging, I did my first official TUESDAY tackle post.
Enjoy!

Hey Janice,
You know I’m the best tackler for the job. What’s holding you back? O.K. I will acknowledge that there are some other FABULOUS tacklers also.
Good job on the project, even if you needed help. Jackson will be wielding a wrench before you know it.
