What to do with three grandsons while I’m under the weather was the question. The answer was easy. Put ‘em to work.
My contribution to the day was brownies for breakfast (shhhh don’t tell their mother – they drank milk with them); hot dogs for lunch, and Mexican for supper. And I took a few pictures. Other than that, I rested.
Jim cracked the whip.
Travis stained the fence. He learned a lot about how to get the stain on the wood instead of himself, thanks to Grandpa.
Dakota stained picnic tables and benches. He claims this is the first time he has ever sweated. Now that just ain’t right. We aren’t giving our all if we don’t sweat – right? He sure did a great for the first time ever wielding a paint brush. I hope his mom forgives me for the ruined shorts he was wearing.

Excellent plan! Most kids enjoy that sort of work!
Wow that some fancy jobs they had there and I bet everything looked so pretty after they were all done too. So sorry you are feeling bad, I hope you feel better soon!
He can save he shorts for the next time he's working on a project and out there sweating. ;) Everybody should have grubby clothes for projects, right? Glad you got some rest and hope you're feeling better. I know the fence and picnic table is better--hehe! :)
Brownies and milk for breakfast...what more would you want? :)
From the looks of their work, all three did a great job. I had to laugh when I read what job Austin was given. (he looked like he knew how to do it too) LOL Loved the pics. :)
Yep, if you're working hard, you gotta be sweating. I think I sweated out at least a gallon of fluids this weekend.
I hope you're feeling better now that you've had some time to rest. *hugs*
I hope you are feeling much better now.
:) I think Austin's high-tech spider hunting thingy needs some flashing LEDs on it. :)
Brownies, milk and $2 a day huh? ...and they give ya all the lovin' a granny could want...
BROWNIES AND MILK FOR BREAKFAST!!!!!!!!!(how dare LOL) I remember having similar breakfasts like that lol. as far as the shorts go it is so worth the ruined shorts if you got him to work. He claims he has never sweated before every darn time he sweats lol. That kid is funny. Thank you all so much for watching them I appreciate it so much I love the fact that when they come out there you all give them jobs to do that are out of the ordinary. They always love going to your house even if they have to work how is it that they hate the work at my house????? Explain that one to me please!!!!!
