Working Weekend

Last weekend we got some great help in from Georgia, to help us fix up our house and get it ready to sell. Unfortunately, we had to give them room & board while they were here.
(he he, teasing). Some of these are out of order, but I don't feel like rearranging them tonight.

Charlie helped out in the flower bed.

Earl's mom sat around looking pretty. :)


Earl's dad kept the kids in line and held down my chair for me.

Joey and Earl did yard work ^ well, kinda.



After that hard riding around on the mower (with the blade up), Earl decided he'd slave over a hot grill for us.




They don't even pretend to be working when I pull out the camera.





Joey and Bradley tried to ride the big wheel down the slide.












On Saturday, Bradley went down for an afternoon nap and stayed out the whole night. He was bushed!



Joey taking a drink break, and Louise supervising Grover, who was cutting our new baseboards for us.




The pop up camper we rented from base for the big boys to sleep in. I've never seen one like that before. Cute.




The finished product.








I'm pretty sure Joey never ate one single substantial thing the whole time they were here. They brought him 2 buckets of Easter candy. :)



Even Bradley and Joey worked hard...hammering the garage floor.




They wave like they're in a parade or something, don't they?



Goodbye hugs. Joey cried half the day after Bradley left.




Swinging time before the family left on their long ride home.








This was Saturday. Louise and Donna heard that Earl was coming home from work, so they jumped out of their lawn chairs and grabbed Joey's toy garden tools and pretended to be hard at work. They didn't fool anybody.



Donna making Joey plant all the flowers with his new Diego gardening tools.





Staining some of the new interior doors and painting cabinet doors. And that's me, pointing at something important, I'm sure.




Thanks Louise, Donna, Chris, Charlie, Grover, Bradley, Mamaw and Grandpa for coming that long way just to work for us. We really, really appreciate it! All the work you did looks great. Thank you so much!
