The other day, I had a meeting at my house for work, and I sent Ivy out with Nate for maybe five minutes. I hear a knock at the door, and standing there was a dripping wet baby and a very proud father. For an early birthday present, her Aunt Nicole gave her a splash table. Well Nate had decided to fill it up and allow her to play in it fully clothed. But it didn't stop there, he then began to spray her with the hose. The splash table I guess wasn't enough water!
I had a grand idea. I was going to have Nate build an outdoor couch. I thought, hey this Pinterest picture looks the easiest! Let's have someone with limited building experience put it together. So Nate called a little more, not by much experienced man, his father. Now. Like I said earlier. The woman's brain is different than a males. At first, we laid the whole bench out against the fence. Just so we knew what it looked like. Well I was just following the picture! Because that is how you get a Pinterest worthy project. The men on the other hand didn't care about the picture. They insisted on laying it out a bit differently than the picture. They wanted to do something that was way more complicated and did the same exact purpose my way did. Well, with their way we would have needed to cut a piece of wood..... we only had a hand saw..... My way didn't need any board cutting... After a long debate, I won. And they later admitted that I was right... Sweet victory!
I am grateful for their hard work, and many, many hours on my cute bench. This is the finished project, just without our cushions. I love it! (And yes, the fact that it was much cheaper than buying one makes me love it even more).
Now another thing this summer that made me scratch my head and think, hmmmm. Why? Was Nathan resigning for his next contract in the Army Guard. Like... Why?
I'm totally kidding! I am so proud of his decision. And we get at least another chid (no I'm not pregnant) some what free. And at least 6 more years of having base access! I guess he was right on this... Good call Nate!
I thought I would end on a good note, because I may be in trouble after this post.
