Patio Helper

Recently we considered putting our house on the market, but after a realtor told us it wasn't worth it (she said it much more professionally) we decided we'd wait until next year. Instead, we're using some tax refund money to make some improvements to our backyard. My dad is building a patio for us and arrived this past weekend to get started. Michael was so excited to help Opa and we spent the entire day outside. My dad brought a shovel with him just for Michael and he enjoyed filling in all the holes Opa dug. Not much help, huh? Michael mimicked almost everything my father did which was so great to watch. My favorite moment was when my dad was writing out a list for a trip to Lowes. Michael turned to me and said "wait here mama", he went inside and came back with a MagnaDoodle and sat down and pretended he was also writing out a list for Lowes. Precious!
I wish I had taken pictures, but the stupid camera battery ran out and I left it on the charger all day. I'll post pics of the finished project as soon as it's done!
