This past weekend was a whirlwind! Cubby's parents were absolute saints and came into town to help us repair our basement. (For anyone who isn't aware, when all of the snow from our monster-of-a-winter melted, it leaked into our basement and it developed mold--ugh. So, Cubby had to rip out the drywall, studs, and carpet pad on one and a half walls. Crazy.) In anycase, Cubby's dad came to teach him and help him rebuild the walls and his mom helped me keep the kids busy while they worked. Emily and Christian were, once again, so tickled to be able to wake up Grandma and Grandpa each morning (right around 6 a.m.!) and to get to play so much as well.
I don't have any "before" pictures (it was just too icky) but here is a picture as the drywall was going up. Now, the primer is on and we're just needing to paint! The carpet cleaner is coming on Monday and I'm so excited that by next week the kids will have their basement back!!!
And, here is a shot of the boys using power tools to cut the new baseboards--"Argh Argh Argh" (Tim 'the Toolman' Taylor grunts all around).
I just can't say how much Cubby and I appreciated them driving down and helping us out. His parents don't just say that they love you (which, they do), but they show you in sacrificing their time and energy in helping their children out. THANK YOU, Mom and Dad Lindseth! We love and miss you!

Wow! That's so nice of them! It's looking good!
What a nightmare! I'm glad mom and dad Lindseth were able to help out, they always seem eager to do so! And I'm sure Grandma loved distracting those kids!
Now that we are home, we just don't know what to do with ourselves. We miss all the fun and excitment.
