We had my niece and her son for a week which was ok.. Now it's my daughter, her husband and 3 1/2 kids in till Sunday..3 1/2..3 kids and one in the oven .
I don't really mind them coming to visit ,but it would be better if they could stagger visits instead of everyone always coming in the dead of summer when it's hot, humid and I have a lot of yard work to do plus a gazillion dishes to do.
My grandson hoodwinked me into helping him make a couple of wooden swords out in the shop. Him and his buddies like to have wood sword fights..
We made on from crape myrtle wood, same type of wood very good for making bows and arrows, mostly bows.. Really strong and flexible wood.. Not overly shabby for a 14 year old kid although I spent a good amount of time keeping him from cutting fingers off, etc.
