home improvement

in lieu of our canceled trip to china and now, traveling for vacations this summer, my parents (more like my dad...) decided to stay home and do a little work on our house. my papa fua was a self-taught carpenter as is my papa faatai. my daddy did work on our house before he and my mommy moved in and redid the room that is now my nursery (by himself) before i was born. so, i'm thinking that my daddy has the knack for the carpentry stuff too. thus, our trip to our local home depot store. my daddy caught a class and took me right along with him.

the instructor has a captive audience...those students are usually the best...(so my mommy says)





my daddy's eye is watching...processing...learning...comprehending...connecting...

...still focused on the demonstration and teaching...



...continuing on...


...i decided to check out another part of the project as my daddy continued on with the class...one year olds can only pay attention for so long...

...it was only a matter of time before my daddy started writing...you GO dad!

okay, so the tile was on which aisle sir? no sir, this aisle is the paint aisle and we're not there yet...

...here we are...the tile aisle...

i think we are looking for a natural, clean line look?

let me check back in with my daddy so he knows that i'm alright and that i've located the tiles...

...reading up on this information is always a good idea...my parents do it...why not me too?
