It was a smash!
Both sons in law stepped up to the plate and installed new baseboards all around the living room, dining area, and hallways. It looks great and Jeremy and Jason didn't whine at all. It took getting a power miter saw, a nail gun, some adhesive, and divvying up the cutting and nailing responsibilities and they did it all! I just love those men.
Laura and Lisa worked on putting up blinds and cleaning the basement. They dragged out all the garbage I had bagged up and at least 10 bags more. Unfortunately, there is still more down there (due to having flooded three times and the last time was when Joe was really ill and I just couldn't get down there to clean it up), but it was a great start. Lisa only insisted on rescuing one box of stuff which she added to her ten boxes out in the garage. That's my next goal as we are getting a new garage door installed as one of our last outside improvements.
Kai and Quinn swept the decks and entertained Jack and Joe. Joe was probably harder to keep happy than Jack. Jack checked out the old high chair that I cleaned up and liked being able to see everyone and pound on the tray.
It all went well and Jeremy has discovered a new favorite food. Since it was my birthday and I had offerred to cook in repayment for their labor, I decided to make one of my favorite things -- shrimp and cheesy grits. Everyone but Joe enjoyed them, and Jeremy wanted to know why he had never had this before!
