Girls project turns to family project!

One of most favorite things to do as a child was fix things. Dad installed a new floor and as soon as I could I was in there "fixing" it with a hammer and screw driver. Well my fix turned into a another new floor and better control of the tools. Matt and I got this cabinet for free when we purchased something a while back. I decided we needed it above our commode, well because every commode needs a cabinet to store toilet paper and such.

I decided I would let Ava build it with me. She was so excited she could hardly contain herself. Matt was opposed to me doing this at the time because he was worn out. I promised him that I could do it all myself and not to worry. Ava and I did great until it came time to hang it on the wall!

I went to the garage, got the drill, stud finder and some hardware (since when did they sell you wall cabinets without hardware to attach to a wall?). This is where the problem started. The stud finder was a dud! As much as feminist like to say women can do everything men do, it is simply untrue! God created men and women, with differences by design. I needed Matt's help.

The older I get the more opposite of feminist I become and realize how much I need a MAN in my life. Becoming a mother showed me even further, the differences in men and women. We were created with a purpose and by design!

All this to say I needed Matt to find the studs and help me hold the cabinet while we attached it to the wall!

Audrey wanted to help too, she found the screw driver and began "fixing" the window. It was taken away as soon as the picture was taken!






Yes Audrey has on a I Love Rainbows shirt. Yes I know what rainbows now stand for in our culture. HOWEVER, they were created by God and are beautiful. I won't let our twisted culture detour me from allowing my children to experience the beauty God created. A rainbow symbolizes a rainbow until an age where my children can understand what it has become to mean.
