Helpful? No. Hopeful? Yes!

Tone' was working on some projects around the house for me last week and, between Nik and Luke, he had a constant shadow wanting to help. It slowed him down considerably, but was it was so cute to see the boys so excited to use their tools on some "real" work and to help their daddy out:)

Luke was ever so focused on drilling this hole, so much so that his tongue was sticking out and to the side, just like daddy's does when he is concentrating. It was like looking at a little tiny replica of Tone'. You can't see his tongue in this picture, but it really was cute.

Now to be a true carpenter, you have to wear a pencil behind your ear. Though it does become a nuisance when the pencil won't stay due to having baby ears.

After going through quite a few pencils, we finally discovered that colored pencils are slightly thinner. With that delay taken care of, the men could finally get back to my curtains.

I sure hope this trend continues long enough for the boys to do some real projects for me!
