Piggy Tails and Picnic Tables

Greg made me a picnic table for my birthmonth present. He found plans online, bought long pieces of wood, measured and cut them, assembled the table and the seats, and sealed it all. When we had all Greg's family all down, the menfolk and the toughest of the women did a miraculous job of holding the thing up so it could be bolted together. And tada! Now we can either invite people over for a BBQ or have 12 or 13 more kids and still be able to eat outside.

I can even stand on it.



And here is Sagan sporting her very first piggy tails. Isn't she cute!



She climbed up unassisted and was very proud of herself. I think she takes after her monkey brothers.






Then she started eating all the dirt and grass, so that was the end of the photo shoot, silly old girl.

I love your picnic table!! I am so jealous, but in a great way where I am excited for you to have it and while I would like it I know that i have no room for it at all.
Sagan is so cute and I love her little pig tails!

I love the picnic table. I would love one like that, but we already have a very long rectangle one. Your little girl is so cute. I have realized that little girls follow after their brothers and tend to be monkeys also.

I'm not sure what's cuter- the baby or the table. Okay, the baby for sure but that table is awesome! And know that as the daughter of a Master Craftsman, I'm rather hard to impress. I'm impressed. And now I want one. And so I must call my Daddy and risk offending my spouse! LOL!

Very cute pigtails!

I agree - what an awesome picnic table!! I was expecting a boring rectangular type, but nope. And yeah, cute piggies on Sagan. Yay to growing hair - my kids are always so bald forever!

I'm totally dying of cuteness overload. The pigtails, the flower shirt, the goofy grin. I just want to nuzzle her!

Wow!!! To have a handy husband;) That is the cutest picnic table I've ever seen. When are we invited over for BBQ? :)

Pigtails are the best, tho--what pretty hair Sagan has.
