Aunt Mary and Uncle Tom got the boys these cute stuffed animals that go with the "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie" Series. These animals got the boys to sleep this day - they were fighting it big time!!!
I've learned a few distraction techniques .....my new one after they go their new workbench.....they will both be fussing, needing me, falling to pieces.....I find a screw they can see somewhere near and ask them if they can "fix it"? They both immediately stop fussing, start grunting, mosey off to find their tools and return with a smile on their face and get to work!!!!
When we return from being at Ryan's grandparents in the country (they love all the cows there, getting to feed them, see them up close etc.) I can holler "Where did the cows go?" while driving for about a week after our trip down there and they will stop and look out the windows and look for cows for a bit....just long enough to take their mind off of whatever they were upset about!
Do what you have to do, Right? :)
