We discovered no so long ago that having the backyard so open was just not a very good idea. We have a certain little guy that sees every opportunity he can get to run as an opportunity he can not pass up. Thankfully Matt is one handy guy. And his ability to build things came in very handy this past weekend as he built what I like to call our "Manning Cage." And for an added bonus it looks so pretty too.
He didn't do it all alone though he did have some help. His brother came over and lent a hand.And he had a couple other "little" helpers too.
Mattix loves to help his daddy any chance he can get. He came in trying to find his hat and found one of Matt's, than he grabbed a pen and tried to get it to stay behind his ear. Just like his dad. Matt ripped out all the old wood. And had tossed it aside. To make room for the new wood. Mattix was very helpful in bringing the wood back. He thought his daddy might need it.
When Matt used the noisy power tools, Mattix would cover his ears. Always right there with him no matter how noisy it got.
Manning was even there to lend a helping hand. He surprised us all and started using the drill, The correct way. Trying to fix the screws. I love watching my boys follow their daddy around. I love that they want to be just like him. Doing what he does. And in my opinion he's the perfect role model for them.
