Usually, Labor Day weekend means a chance to get away for a long weekend, perhaps a visit with friends or family, or maybe a last trip to the lake. But not this year. Nope, we decided to actually stay home and work this Labor Day weekend. We've had a couple projects hanging over our heads and Vic and Betsey were nice enough to come give us a hand.
Dan has needed to re-wire our outside lamp post ever since our trees were delivered last fall and the guys who planted them "saw" a wire when they were digging. Ironically, ever since that day, the lamp post stopped working and if it rained, I lost power in my office. Good thing they didn't hit the wire (which is what they confirmed with me when they were here).
Dan and Vic buried new wire in the ground and Jackson was anxious to help with his little shovel.


He was also thrilled when the ladder came out and he got to stand on it just like Daddy!


I worked hard too, even though I don't have the pictures to prove it (no camera men available...see pictures above). Betsey and I cleaned and organized the garage and I'm so proud of our work. I would seriously consider letting Jackson eat off the floor in there now. We have several bins for Goodwill and two big trash cans full of junk to be picked up. It feels good to have gotten something accomplished, and we still have the actual Labor Day holiday to relax and spend time together!
