Here's Chapter Four. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know!

"Okay y'all it's that time. Homework time," Laurie said as she sat down with her team.

"I must say you guys did a fabulous job today. So there isn't much homework. Just touch up any spots on the walls, ceiling or entertainment center you see and finish stuffing the pillows and sewing the slipcovers. Any questions?"

"Nope we got it," Harriet said still cheery. Bud wondered how she still had so much energy but then he thought it must have come from her afternoon with Ty.

"Okay then I'll see y'all tomorrow!"

"Okay guys it's time for homework," Frank said as Harm let out a groan. He was rewarded with an elbow in the ribs from Mac.

"We need to have the china cabinet primed and painted as well as the buffet table primed. That's it. You guys did such a great job today so there's not much to do! I'll see you guys tomorrow."

Once Frank left, Harm decided that he would heat up the dinner he had brought with him.

"Hey Mac I'm gonna go heat up some dinner then we can get started on our homework," Harm said as he made his way into the kitchen.

"Okay I'll set the table," Mac said following her husband into the kitchen.

Harm put lasagna in the oven and set the timer for thirty minutes.

"Okay it should be ready in a half an hour."

Mac had just finished setting the table when she looked her husband up and down. He was covered in green paint from head to toe and he was in desperate need of a shower but she'd never seen him look more handsome.

"What?" Harm asked as he noticed his wife's critical eye giving him the once over.

"Nothin'. I was just thinking how you're my Jolly Green Giant," Mac said with a smile.

Harm had a sheepish grin on his face.

"Really? I'm glad. Wouldn't want some young carpenter taking my place," Harm teased.

"Never," Mac said as she gave her husband a kiss.

"Bud hand me that paint tray," Harriet said as she put the finishing touches on one side of the entertainment center. She was proud of all the work they had done. She really loved the way the room was turning out. She knew Harm and Mac would be pleased.

"Sure sweetie," Bud said as he slid the tray over. He looked over at his wife and he knew he was the luckiest man in the world. He never thought that one day he meet a woman like Harriet and have four beautiful children. When he was younger his father had tried to banish any dreams he might have. He never let his father get to him though and he tried to not let him get to his little brother Mikey either.

Harm and Mac had just finished their homework and were now in the process of cleaning up.

"Okay I think we got everything," Harm said as he put the lid on the last paint can.

"Looks that way. Now we need to get cleaned up. It looks like this squid could use a good scrubbin'," Mac said with a gleam in her eyes.

"Well I do I have paint all over me. They say paint can be hard to get off."

"Oh don't worry I'm sure I can get it off."

Harriet was busy making some dinner while Bud cleaned up in the living room. They had just finished their homework and both were exhausted as well as hungry.

"Well Bud I hope they like the room."

"Don't worry Harriet I'm sure they will," Bud said with a smile.

"I wonder what our dinning room looks like?"

"I'm sure it looks great. If it looks anywhere near as good as this living room then I'm gonna love it."

"Yea me too," Harriet said with a smile.

That's chapter four! The next chapter will be the beginning of day two ^_^
