I like your idea. If Rosemarie picks us up, then everyone else who can be there will have the opportunity to be inside. You still ought to park elsewhere of course.
I do wonder about where you should be for the reveal. We will almost certainly come in through the front door. She will see the kitchen from the hall as soon as she gets to the corner, long before you could see her from the dining room. If the doors are open on the family room, she will go straight in there, so have them closed. If you want to get her reaction, you need to be standing in the kitchen so you can see the corner of the hallway.
A Common Place for Discussion
This blog is intended to allow us all to discuss plans for the rennovation of Mom and Dad's kitchen without Dad having to be on the phone around Mom. It is also intended to allow Cydney and Ken to participate. It is a private blog and cannot be accessed without an invitation from me. You have all been invited because as well as added as contributors so that you can post. You should all receive e-mails when a new post goes up as well as when comments are made. If it is urgent that we read what you posted please send a text to the whole group and mom that reads "BBQ Sauce" and thanks to Dave Steed for that one. I will take care of the story with Mom, we are going to say that it happened at the party at Nat and Dave's that he was randomly saying it. The idea is that she will think it is just a joke when we all know it is that and a signal.
Last, PLEASE DO NOT PUT LINKS FOR THIS ON YOUR BLOGS UNLESS YOU CAN DISGUISE IT SO THAT MOM WON'T NOTICE IT. I will have a link under the "How We Spend our Time" Heading on my blog that says Piano Gallery. If you click on that it will take you to this blog!

I guess I hadn't thought about the family room doors, but I was just thinking I/We would be in the corner by the sink and stove poised and ready to capture a photo or two of her very suprised reaction. Rosemarie can come in too and your mom will probably also be there along with one very excited little dude.
The smell of paint and poly will tip her off at the door, she just won't know the extent. I would be parked around the corner from the Tree's house so that our vehicle wouldn't be there and we will have Grandma and Reb move theirs down there too, that way it looks as though you are coming home to an abandoned house.
That is perfect.
I am so excited to see the finished product! I wish that I had been there to help.
