Before or after you go stop at a supermarket that sells flowers. She will love them 5 dollar flowers. No vase! she is apt to throw it at you. And then even tho U will be tired from fishing, put a gleam in her eye.
I'll agree with BB,I too have 2 kids and re did my first home & it was a DUMP it took me ten years but I did it and was fishing when the wife & kids are sleeping
Do whatcha gotta do.
