Lucy & Ethel (a.k.a. Grandma O. & Gramma Z.) came up to visit us for a few days! Yes, you read that right...2 grandmas in the same house; that is, 2 moms in the same building; yes, 2 mothers-in-law under the same roof! Yikes, right?!?! :o) Actually, it worked out really well.
We've found that while we have these 3 little, fun, and enjoyable kiddos around and no family to take care of them for a couple of hours here and there, we aren't able to accomplish a whole lot of anything as all of our time, attention, and energy is usually directed at them (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).
Anyhow, Grandma and Gramma came and spent time with their grandkids and spoiled them rotten, while Nathan and I used the time to get some stuff crossed off our ever-lengthening to-do list.
While Grandma and Gramma were busy doing and playing and caring for...
...I got a chance to clean out and organize the basement, while Nathan got to...
...do whatever those things are called! :0)
In all, we were able to, among other things, see the basement floor again;
get a footer under the bottom front porch step;
paint the board and posts under the front porch;
get the J-channel (I think that's what it's called) and the outside lights on the garage;
weather treat our back deck (a horribly awful job to do); and
install a storm door in the front of the house.Not bad, for a few days' work all the while Nathan having to work some on those days, too! Thank you Lucy and Ethel for helping us out SO MUCH!
