need to solve this right now

who is about going to help

it properly

oh I see he's tying Melanie to the chair

let let's see if you'll still slouch

after that what a smart hack dad we'll

fix your posture in no time

you can only pack so much for a trip

but it seems dad wants to bring the

whole Toy Box

but it says what's happening

I'm sick is that a cough I hear I have a

solution for that just dip the lollipop

into the cough syrup

not that she can eat it okay

what is Mom looking for

I found the mold I'm going to make a

homemade lollipop place a toothpick in

each mold then pour in cough syrup let

it freeze and voila a medicine lollipop

here you go

whoa this is yummy lollipop can I have

some I want a lollipop too well I guess

Dad can enjoy it too even if he's not

sick

lollipops are for everyone

[Music]

you'll get a speeding ticket at this

point oh

one those four toys what a tragic

accident

[Music]

oh no the clothes the bicycles are made

to be used outside the house after all

[Music]

the poor toy got hit by a bicycle

thin look at his broken arm

is an easy job Dr mommy is in the house

she's all suited up let's start the

operation

can we save him in time first things

first check for the pulse

we have to cut his arm off to put it

back properly we have to remove it first

tweezers please

[Applause]

practically his shoulder bone

we need to attach his arm then we can

stitch it back up with a thread and

needle

mom is a professional at this

look how awesome her stitching skills

are

surgery is done I recommend bed rest for

a few days so the Stitch will heal

wow his arm is okay

my job here is done what about Barbie

well being a mom and a surgeon is a

full-time job

the family is about to board their

flight

oh funny

it seems Melanie didn't get enough sleep

last night she's lost in Dreamland

her snoring is so noisy

I'll just put tape over her mouth well

that's one way to solve the problem

perfect

I'm kind of getting sleepy too

huh what's that noise dad is snoring too

it's so noisy I know a sleep strip will

cover up his snores

seems to work really well it looks like

Dad has a cute pacifier

oh mom's asleep too who's gonna cover up

Mom snoring now

score yeah that was a good shot another

point for me my turn yes

yes they're supposed to be packing their

bags for the trip but I guess a DIY

basketball game won't hurt

uh oh it's Mom what are you guys doing

this is not how you pack your clothes

hold on this box is giving me an idea

let's see what mom is up to

she's cutting out the cardboard into

pieces

now shall bring it all together with

tape make sure to secure every corner

this way the cardboard can be foldable

it's done

you can fold your clothes with this

let's give it a try

put the shirt over the cardboard and

Fold It Up on the sides

men at the bottom

oh hi

to turn this into a game and score a

point for every folded shirt and look

they fit well in the suitcase it's Dad's

turn to fold his clothes like this oh I

got it this is too easy

what a cute picture honey pack your

things I've got your backpack it's so

ugly mom

I don't like it

why I think it looks cute oh well look

at this cute bag now this is the kind of

bag I want maybe there's something pink

around here aha the trash bag

Melanie's got a unique taste for a bag

oh my the trash

why are you putting your stuff inside

the trash bag

I'm ready to go I packed my stuff check

out my cool new backpack

it's like I'm wearing a cape

[Music]

that's not an appropriate bag sweetie

what should I do oh a puppet looks like

Mom got an idea

code

okay I'll definitely wear this

perfect

is

cereal is my favorite meal of the day

Legos on the floor are never a good idea

the cereal spilled all over Melanie

ouch my foot you're ruined

ruin her guys what is going on here

oh my gosh so many Legos

playing don't

yikes it's so sore wait I have an idea

on how to clean this up

mom covered the vacuum tube with socks

to gather the Lego pieces they won't get

sucked in all the way

and it's easier to bring them back to

the toy box

Tommy is like a special agent with her
