Assembling Mo

Last Saturday was our big day...Mo's assembly day! Since we hadn't gotten to bed until almost 1 in the morning, we slept in until about 9, and then it was time to get up and busy...because we needed to put together Mr. Mo!!

He was packed into four boxes with a 36 page manual and a bag of hardware you would not believe. Ryan is undaunted by things like this.

Time to begin!
Did I mention the 36 page manual?
And the bag of hardware?
But there was no need to fear because helper girl number one was ON THE JOB!!!

No. Not me.

THIS one.
He actually got it together in fairly short order {compared to the week it would have taken me...}
Oh! PS! I did more than take pictures. :)
At long last, we had it assembled. It wasn't just putting together the couch that took some time. We also had to rearrange the furniture in a couple of rooms AND Ryan had to crawl under the house to reroute some cables and wires. {Let the record show I was the helper girl from the main level.} So with all those things factored in, it took longer than we really wanted, but we were thankful for a day at home to get it all done.

SO!!!!

Are you ready for the big reveal? {Please ignore the walls behind and beside him...I haven't rearranged the wall decor yet.

Here's our Mo...

And as you might remember....the best thing about him...is that he becomes a bed!!


With our Mo!!!!
Did we mention it turns into a bed? Revolutionized our football afternoons. Too bad those are over for another year.
We were having so much fun...we had a sleepover the very first night! {These words were supposed to be above that photo, but Blogger is rebelling on me tonight.}



And at our sleepover...a guest.
We also captured our journey on video and had the most fun making one...wanna see???


Hope you love our Mo as much as we do! And if you ever come to visit, you can enjoy him in person!!

Yay for Mo! Is it a pull out piece that makes it a bed?

My entire apartment, give or take a table is ikea!

Bekah said...

Leslie - WOWSA!! You are an IKEA family! I admit I did fall in love with a couple dining room tables from there. AND I found a hutch I really liked. And...and...and...

Tamar - YES! It's like a little trundle! It pulls out and pops up and makes the bed!!

You crack me up "Chewie"! I agree with a couple of your readers, You two should do video's more often! Maybe for the radio station or something! Wait...video...radio station... yeah, that idea lacks something doesn't it? LOL

I love you MIL's line of "There are some things I take credit for and MANY things I do not!" Also, I hope you enjoy your moternity leave. Ha ha ha!!! I'm guessing you would spend most of it with your new baby :)

And I thought you were just bad at filming Ryan and then realized that I could only see about 2/3 of the video picture!
