Handy Man

Thursday afternoon I sorted through the mail after work as usual and found the new Pottery Barn catalog. If you didn't already know, it's one of my favorite stores. So, while I was relaxing on the couch flipping through the catalog, I found a storage bench and coat rack that I've been eyeing for some time now. I showed it to Tom and asked if he could make something like it. (BTW, he made the mistake of building this really beautiful table/ottoman for our front porch about a month ago, and his honey-do list has trippled since then.) Well, on Friday I called to check in with him and to pass the time at work b/c I knew he was at home on his day off. He said he had just been to Home Depot to pick up the supplies he needed to start on the bench. I love Tom. Sure, I thought he might get to it one day, but the next day exceeded my expectations! He's been working really hard on it all weekend, and since I have no baby news for you, I thought I would share some pictures of him hard at work. Did I mention I love him?

Just for kicks...Do you see that small white box with a little bit of green on it in the back ground just above Tom's right shoulder?....That's the sprinkler timer I fixed....hahaha! Sorry, couldn't resist!
