When in doubt...

...have your girlfriend do it!

A few weeks ago our boys had soccer camp in the evening and instead of going to McDonalds or Burger King and eat one evening, Emily decided she was going to de-stress me and help me check things off my "To do before Kiptyn arrives" to do list. Several things were in my eyes, manly items to do. You know put up blinds, curtains, shelves,...etc. Well apparantly not too manly for Emily! She was on top of the chair with the drill in hand minutes after I shared my list!


Watch out Bob Villa, this lady knows what she's doing with some tools! Oh did I happen to mention after she is drilling and I'm opening the box of the blinds, we realize Josh got shades that were a good 4 inches too small for the windows?! Back to Lowes!

Our kids behaved real well throughout the week!



My favorite line of the evening was when the boys got back to the house from camp. Chris had picked up our (only) drill in the household and said "Hey do you think Jackson will mind if I borrow his drill?" This is our pathetic drill: Oh no, not the red one, ours' is the blue one.



*Side note* Buy some useful power tools for Christmas! Or I guess I can just make Emily an on going "to do" list. :)
