Cheaply Manufactured Toys Suck

Started with the usual. Got up with the kids. Made some breakfast, got ready and went to church. After church we deviated a bit. We stopped by Wal-Mart looking for some flower pots for the kids plants they're growing. I would say it's about time to transplant them out of the plastic cups where they currently reside. The trip took longer than we would have liked, because we let the kids pick out a toy. And Catherine took a while to pick something. Quinn almost immediately picked a big Styrofoam airplane, while Catherine eventually got some floam stuff (it's kind of like slime with little balls in it for modeling). Sadly once we got home, Quinn's airplane had two right side wings, so he wasn't able to actually play with it. Thank you quality assurance.



The plan was later in the day Quinn and I would return to the store and exchange his toy. But that never happened. Quinn decided he would rather play soccer and basketball outside than go to the store. Not too long after that I took the kids to the park for a bit. And after being there for maybe 10 minutes, we got to come home (because Catherine needed do number two, it's amazing how that never seems to occur until right after we leave the house). Then we were back out to the park again (different one this time) for some rides on swings.
