Richard is rather handy when it comes to woodworking. He made Blake's bed, which you've seen pics of in the past and he made our bed as well as assorted other things in the garage and in the house. His latest projects have been for the boys (ok so Blake's the only one who can utilize them right now, but Colby will soon too)
The first is something that I really wanted him to make... we are calling it the "kid holder". Blake loves to help out in the kitchen, but Richard doesn't like him standing on chairs. (Me... well I'm vertically challenged so I grew up standing on chairs all the time, and still do, so it doesn't bug me as much)
So here it is...
The second thing is the sandbox (which is Blake's birthday present!)
I don't always let him know how much I appreciate the big and little things he does to help around the house and with the boys, but I know he knows that we love him lots!
Those are totally awesome! I love my husband and he is awesome at what he does, but Handy Manny he is not. You are blessed in that area!
ReplyDeleteWow, both are really neat. I love having a handy man around..
ReplyDeleteIt is so gret to have a handy man around the house. The kid holder is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love that!!!! Too bad you don't live close to me because I so would pay your husband to make us one. My husband has a hard enough time putting toys together so there is no way I would ask him to do any wood work, lol. Have a great day!! :o)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool!!!! It always scares me when the kids are standing on chairs in the kitchen(which is of course where they always want to be!)
ReplyDeleteBrian is soo handy, hence the fact that he is a contractor!!! lol... I think it's nice to have a handy guy around!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pics - Blake is getting so big!
Those are fantastic! I love the kid holder- do let my kids stand on the chair to help in the kitchen, but I do worry they will fall. Way to go hubby!
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky! That stuff looks great. pete has handy potential but works so much he never has time to do anything!
ReplyDeleteI think you referred to the "kid holder" in an older post and I didn't know what it was. I could really use one of those for Lyndsy because, while I don't care that she stands on chairs, she is the klutziest kid I have ever met and falls off of them! That looks like it would keep her more stable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!! I have a handyman too for a hubby. It does make life a little easier.
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT "kid holder" I wish we had something like that for Kaelin! I don't feel secure having her "help" me when she's sitting on the kitchen counter.
ReplyDeleteMust be nice to have a handy DH!
Both the kid holder and the sandbox are fantastic! We just use chairs around here too but not until they were old enough to be mindful of the fact that they had to be careful...we've only had minor spills :-)
ReplyDeletePretty handy hubby you have there!! He does great work. I think we all forget to tell our men now and then....but then, we get forgotten too. As long as we let them know sometimes, I think we're alright.
ReplyDeleteI'm vertically challenged too!!
