He's a hard working man

I've been meaning to post this, but my husband keeps adding to the list of household chores he's checking off this summer. During his three weeks of paternity leave, he did more stuff around our house than he has done all year. Brett said that he had been scheming up this to-do list for some time. While he was putting in long hours during busy season, those things got put on the back burner. Here is all he did in a short amount of time:

  • Organized our kitchen (cabinets and pantry) and the garage (I am a confessed pack-rat, so he took full advantage of me not supervising this process :-)
  • Put in linoleum under all of our bathroom and kitchen sinks. We hate the liner/contact paper!
  • A BIG one: he took care of me and the boys while I was recovering (this consisted of helping me get up and down from sitting/lying position for about two weeks post-delivery, cooking a'many breakfasts and lunches, etc.)
  • Landscaped our entire backyard! 
The ridiculous sombrero actually comes in handy for sun protection!
With the help of Jameston, of course!



  • He made this rolling work table:

  • And now, he is retiling the entire front of our house (entryway, dining room, and study):


It's not been easy having a mess in our house, but
the end result will be totally worth it!

Seriously, the man never relaxes...I wish I had his work ethic! Now, if only I could complete the to-do's on my measly list :-)
