We built a workbench and another set of shelves in the garage; laid a small patio for the grill in the back yard; put in pavers to form a walking path between the planting beds in the front yard; finished wallpapering the end wall of the kitchen; and painted our bedroom and the upstairs hallway and stairwell.
I appreciate my whole family showing up for the weekend, but, they can get to be a bit much. We made an extra Menards run Saturday to get a roll of wallpaper and a roll of border, but while we were on the way there, they called and said "Bring extra so we can do the whole kitchen." My sister had said something along the line of "We're here, give us more to do!" and that was the only other thing on the list - she can be a little pushy (
