So proud

I've had a hankering for our family to grace our wall. And just yesterday, my wonderful husband helped make that a reality. He's just the best. Once I found the pictures I wanted to use and had them made, I could put them in the frames we'd purchased for this project. Then I just needed my adoring husband to help me hang them on the wall. Four hours later, it finally happened.

The best part was when he wanted to tear off sheets of paper, tape them together, place the picture frames on top of the taped paper, trace their outline, remove them, tape the taped and traced paper to the wall and then figure out where to put the nails in to make them all even. I was like, why don't we just use a piece of paper as if it was the frame, and tape them to the wall individually to see how we want to place the frames. My idea won out and saved us an additional three hours and future marriage counseling.

Once we placed the pieces of paper where we wanted the frames, Chase then measured everything and somehow figured out how to make them all level. Because the three square frames are hanging on a wire. The two attachments that the wire is connected to were personally attached at random and not measured for accuracy. Which makes me wonder if Chase removed them and then measured and reattached to make them all level. I have no idea how he got the three to all be the same height. I got bored and started watching tv. Four hours later, I look up and viola! Picture perfect. It might take him forever to complete these little projects, but you know that at the end of it, it is done and it is done right.
