mom leaves for the weekend comes home to find husband's surprise [Music] she knew something was up the minute she pulled up to the house the signs were everywhere and when she got out of the car and saw them standing around nervously it was all over their faces her mothering instinct was screaming at her as she scrutinized her husband's eyes trying to determine what they had done the panicked expression she found there told her everything she needed to know miles and kate boyer lived in springfield missouri and had three children james camilin lawson kate decided that she needed a vacation from the full-time job of raising three kids but she was hesitant about leaving them alone with their father for an entire weekend when she voiced her concerns to her husband miles she saw a glint in his eye that she couldn't quite explain was he happy that she was leaving and could he cope without her miles watched his wife roll down the drive and away to her destination and the mischievous glint in his eye only intensified as he and the kids waved goodbye he tossed the to-do list cated left him onto the counter finally she was gone and he had absolute freedom and he intended to enjoy every second of it but first he needed to get a few supplies miles loaded the children into the suv the first stop was the local walmart lawson looked dumbfounded as his father threw item after item into the car happily whistling all the time looking from the quickly filling trolley to his dad and then back again he started to ask a question but all he got in reply was a wry smile and a shushing finger on his lips lawson glanced at his older sister camille but she didn't seem to notice their dan's strange behavior she walked alongside the shopping cart lost in deep thought what did his dad need all this strange stuff for and why was he being so secretive maybe his brother james would have the answer but james was in a world of his own dashing to and fro through the aisles giddy with excitement as he eyed the colorful boxes stacked ceiling high lawson looked on with a worried expression on his face he knew from his many shopping excursions with their mom that james's behavior was about to escalate beyond control their dad continued to walk like a man on a mission avoiding all the toy and food aisles with a determined sense of purpose he had come this far he just hoped he had the strength to follow through with his daring plan all the while he wondered would he get away with it so far so good miles thought he had almost completed his secret shopping list and the children had been angels so far kate must have been exaggerating he thought smiling any questions they had he would wave away it was important that his intentions were kept secret he tossed another hammer into the card and that's when all hell broke loose and there it was james started to wail uncontrollably and miles felt his heart sink the fabled public meltdown he had done his best to avoid was finally upon him boredom and blood sugar had taken a toll on james and it was everything keda described and more miles rushed over to his son and tried to quiet him down shoppers walked past and tut tutted disapprovingly and he felt a flush bloom on his face he'd have to resort to dirty tricks to get eight-year-old james to comply and with a flash he retrieves something from his pocket how about a snack miles asked hopefully he expertly pulled the wrapper off one of the twinkies he'd loaded into his pockets before they left james nodded agreeably as he reached for it tears forgotten at least for the time being miles side crisis averted now it was time to get back to the task at hand he proceeded to the checkout line with his furtive load and brood of three in tow but had the unwitting father bitten off more than he could chew as any mother would know leaving the kids and hubby at home for the weekend could have disastrous consequences kate was fully prepared to have to clean more than a few messes when she returned from her trip but she prayed that the house would look the same as when she left it more or less if she could see just what miles was doing in her absence she may have rethought her weekend trip you see miles had a grand idea as he diligently got to work on the master bedroom he dismantled all the furniture that kate had so carefully picked out and moved it away then he started to tear up the carpet the children watched in awe as sheets of the concrete floor began to expose themselves what was he doing miles was growing worried now but it was too late to change his mind so with a reckless tenacity he continued on with a plan foolhardy as that plan may have been he was determined any minute now kate could walk through the door what would she think about what he'd done to their bedroom miles removed the old brown carpet and began to paint the walls he worked late into the night only stopping to make sure the kids had eaten and were bathed before putting them to bed then he hauled in an enormous load of timber he knew he had to lay it down just right when the paint on the walls had dried he set about laying the new floor then he polished the beautiful wood until it gleamed the next morning lawson james and camille were beside themselves with a result with excited yells they exclaimed that the room now looked like a dance studio with no furniture to get in the way they took turns spinning on their toes and pirouetting on the smooth floorboards next miles began to return the pieces of furniture back to their right places but not without making a few modifications of his own he hammered glued and cut an enormous rectangular slat of wood before covering it with a piece of material he'd carefully picked out he attached it to the wall and constructed a new headboard for the outdated wooden sleigh shaped bed finally he was ready to focus on the finer details of the master bedroom he didn't want a single item to be out of place for the big reveal miles stood back and admired his handiwork but the most important judge was still to come his wife but would she appreciate what he'd done to the bedroom while she was away late on sunday afternoon he heard her pulling into the drive and could barely contain his excitement dashing to the front door he lined the children up to greet her kate's sixth sense kicked in the minute she saw her family waiting to greet her miles had a look on his face that she couldn't quite read but she knew something was up when he let her upstairs to the bedroom kate stood in the doorway dumb struck when she had left she had thought that her husband could keep the house in one piece but now she'd come home to this miles had done the impossible kate squealed and threw her hands to her face the camera recorded every emotion as it showed from bewilderment to awe and then to happy tears the bedroom had been completely transformed and it looked absolutely stunning gone was the outdated and stained carpet replaced with new hardwood floors the walls were a freshly painted shade of cream and gave off a new warmth that made kadek sail with delight what the heck she asked in amazement the complete bedroom makeover had been a long time dream of kate's the boyers had bought a beautiful old farmhouse with all of their savings but because the house had originally been built in 1891 there was a lot of work that needed to be done unable to afford a contractor miles resolved to renovate the old house himself but with full-time jobs and children to look after miles and kate's bedroom renovation found itself at the bottom of the list so when kate went away for the weekend miles saw his chance to pull off the biggest surprise for katie yet and what could be a better gift for his wife than a brand new bedroom miles had put blood sweat and tears into the renovation as well as his heart her reaction when she returned home made it worth all the hard work he said in an interview by the end of the weekend miles had replaced the old and wrinkled carpet lay down a beautiful new floor replace the curtains repainted the entire room replace the wall sockets and build a trendy new headboard from scratch not only did he have a complete remodel to contend with but he also had three children to look after what an amazing feat miles's entire remodel can be watched on a time lapse

she's thrilled with her newly revamped bedroom it was certainly a move that bus moment but this is not the first time a parent has come home to a house they didn't recognize she knew something was up the minute she pulled up to the house with her husband the signs were everywhere and when she got out of the car and saw them standing around nervously it was all over their faces her mothering instinct was screaming at her as she scrutinized her daughter's eyes trying to determine what they'd done the panicked expression she found there told her everything she needed to know chip and karen lived on the idyllic holiday shores of north myrtle beach south carolina they had four daughters heather holly hallis and haley chip and karen decided that they needed a vacation from the full-time job of raising four daughters but karen was hesitant about leaving them alone in the house for an entire week she knew teenagers and she knew what impulsive and wild decisions they sometimes make and her instincts proved to be 100 accurate holly and her sisters watched their parents roll away to their holiday destination with glee finally they'd gotten rid of their parents and they would be gone for the whole week they had absolute freedom and they intended to enjoy every second of it holly had come up with a wild idea now that they had the house to themselves when holly sisters had heard their mischievous plans for the weekend they were awestruck no teenager they knew had ever done something like this it was a wild and ambitious endeavor and it was almost unthinkable even to attempt it but that is why in the end the willful girls knew they absolutely had to do it there remained one question though how would they get away with it the answer to the question was unclear the girls didn't know if they could pull off such a momentous stunt without their parents finding out but they were going to risk it anyway so they naturally called on a boy for help he had hosted his fair share of house parties but when he heard what they intended to do he was filled with anxiety this would be no easy task this was more than a simple frat boy party with the help of some muscle holly and her sisters woke early the next day and immediately got to work they first removed the furniture and then started to pull up the carpeting then they unceremoniously tossed the lot out the window if karen and chip decided to come home early for whatever reason the girls knew there would be hell to pay the girls had prepared for their devious plan tirelessly for the first two days by now the kitchen was in an absolute state dirty dishes piled up precariously in the sink objects cluttered the surface and there was grime everywhere but the kitchen hadn't even begun to take a beating it would be unrecognizable to unwitting chip and karen once the girls were through the girls were growing worried now but it was too late to change their minds so with a reckless tenacity they continued on with a plan they'd removed all the furniture in the house and it was sitting out on the front lawn where it had been abandoned they worked with a desperation only a teen with impending punishment would know any minute now they knew that parental discipline could come raining down on them karen and chip stood dumb struck in the doorway when they had embarked on their relaxing holiday they had thought that the girls could keep the house in one piece but now they come home to this the unimaginable sight that greeted them was like a scene they could have never even dreamed up they were breathless as they passed their nervous daughters and entered the house the girls had done the impossible karen and chip continued to inspect the house that they loved so dearly they went from room to room all while one of their daughters recorded their reaction the house had been completely transformed the shoonover sisters had pulled off the biggest diy project that chip and karen had ever seen the complete home makeover was meant to be a christmas surprise to the shooner parents from their children they had collected over a decade's worth of clutter and the house had been in desperate need

house so much love and attention that it looked brand new the work that the girls had put in with their own hands was apparent in every room karen walked around the unrecognizable house in a daze with exclamations of how and why as she hid her bewildered face behind her hands chip was frozen standing there like a man in a trance he had been thunderstruck as how the girls had managed to pull off such a momentous feat unable to say a single thing the shooner sisters had luckily recorded the entire transformation of the house from beginning to end and posted the video on youtube the video has
