Let go of my Lego

I was working from home this afternoon when a friend called to say her son wanted a playdate with my son. Thinking this was an invitation for my son to visit, it turned out to be a request for babysitting at our house. After much deliberation, I decided, well, let's try working at home during a playdate even though I've got to get my work done AND get the house ready for a birthday party this weekend (how can I clean up during a playdate?).

Two hours later I discovered that while I was concentrating on work, the boys had taken down my LEGO Batman Arkham Asylum and my friend's son had smashed it on purpose (I'd worked 'til 1:30 am putting those bricks together!). At the time, I reprimanded both boys because even though my friend's son started it, my son didn't stop him from continuing. Luckily for both of them, I'm a Lego expert so I was able to put everything back together in record time this second time around.
