Patrick gives himself a haircut.

I wish I had more pictures of this!

One Sunday, I came home from work and a very excited sounding Patrick shouts to me from the basement "I'm down here!!!"

He darted into view and shouted "I'M GIVING MYSELF A HAIRCUT!" before running out of site again.
In that brief moment, I could tell this was not going well.
There were chunks of hair missing from all over his head.

I hung up my coat, and went to see if I could help.

There in the basement he had a wooden chair, his beard trimmer, and a tiny mirror.
This is the selfie he took while I was trying to fix his hair.

It still looked crappy. I'm no hairdresser.

Patrick makes babies cry.

This is Isaac, our nephew.
He's a cute and generally happy kid.

Patrick wanted to hold him.

The Passion of the Patrick

Patrick and I walked to a block sale a few streets over from us.
We bought a nice table, and Patrick carried it back home on his back.

On the way home, we passed a teenager.
Since Pat was carrying the table crucifix style, he made sure to tell the kid "Jesus died for your sins."

Patrick and the leaky toilet

We've had our share of plumbing issues in this house.
I fixed the kitchen sink only a week ago.
Today, the toilet started to leak.
I was guessing that it was just an old wax seal that needed replacing.
I was right.

Patrick volunteered for the job! Yay Patrick!

So happy to help!

Almost some plumber's crack!

Now we have a toilet that doesn't leak poop and pee water!

Get that bush!

I hated some of the bushes growing around our house.
There were four, and I wanted them gone.
I pulled out three of them, and then Patrick wanted to help.

He tired himself out and I took over after these pictures.
Thanks, Patrick!
What a good helper!

Patrick cooks a steak

This is the first steak that Pat ever cooked by himself.
He cooked it at our NEW HOUSE.

We enjoyed it.

10 second rule

I accidentally dropped a frozen strawberry cream bar on the kitchen floor.
I walked the 3 paces to the sink to grab a paper towel and spray, and turned around to see Patrick eating my mess off of the floor.

















Ignore the gross fridge, we're renting.

Love this kid.
