We got up at a decent time this morning too; about 8:15am-ish. Since Joe brought all the freshly clean laundry upstairs last night, I gave Nate a shower. We got all packed up to leave the house after breakfast. We stopped at the church to drop off the pot holders that I made for the auction. We were there for about 10 or 15 minutes and then left to go to Monroe. We ended up not going so we came back home and baked the muffins that I didn't get to bake last night. We went back to the auction at the church with the muffins. I baked 24 mini banana muffins.
We got back to the church basement, got our seats, & got our auction tag number (#17). We all had lunch (soups, salad, dessert, bread) before the auction started. It was all really good. The auction started about 1pm ish but Nate was no where to be seen. Well not by me at least. Joe was chasing him everywhere. Joe ended up taking Nate home and I stayed at the auction. My first win was a bucket of goodies for Nate at $12. The rest of the stuff I won was cheaper. Milkshake maker $7, $10 haircut for $2, the other $32 may have gone to food but I'm not sure. We got soup, bread, brownies, & cake. After the auction we dropped all but the brownies and the football & kite from Nate's bucket at home.
We went to the Riverview Park playground for about 10 minutes but Nate didn't want to play, but instead only wanted to look at all the other kids. We crossed the street at the park to a big, open area of grass. Nate & I rolled all the way down the short hill! He loved it and was laughing the whole way to the bottom. We walked around for about 5 minutes or so but then I had to pee. We walked back up the hill (me way in the lead) and I kept walking to the port o potty (gross). Joe & Nate stopped at the playground again but I was told wasn't being too good so they drove up the the bathroom to get me. We drove around the park for a bit and then stopped at a different area there. We got out with Nate's new football & his kite. We started flying the kite (it didn't go that high as there wasn't much wind) and Nate LOVED it!! He held onto the string and thought he was the coolest! He didn't like it when Joe took over so I had to take it back.
We drove around Hannibal for about 1/2 hour and then came back home and I made chocolate chip milkshakes for us all on our new milkshake maker. Very yummy!!! We weren't inside long when Joe & Nate went to the back yard with the kite. I followed once I realized they were down there. There wasn't much wind to fly the kite so we decided to play in the leaves. We took turns burying each other. I threw Ruso (our cat) into the leaves but he didn't much care for it. We picked up the trash that was in the yard and just had a good time. We walked around the side of the house to the front and sat on the porch for about 15 minutes or so. We forgot the front door was locked so Joe went around and let us in.
Leftover chicken & rice soup and bread from the auction was very good! Nate only ate his soup if it was on his buttered bread. I tried to trick him a couple times with no butter but he didn't fall for it. He's a smart little guy! Can't trick him! We watched America's Most Wanted on the tube and then I came upstairs to fold laundry. I got thru about 4 or 5 baskets (I'm turning into Laura) and still have 2 left. I made a very large dent!!
I brought Nate up just before 10 and layed him in his bed. He cried but didn't scream (that's progress!). I was stuck in the bathroom with the vent on, like always. If I cross the room, he'll see me and want me to pick him up. He cried for about 6 or 7 minutes and then I didn't hear him. By this time I have the laptop and am sitting on the floor in the closet (he can't see me from there either!). By 10:15pm he was out but I was scared to check on him. I figured as soon as I do, he'll be waiting for me around the corner and then scream. I waited about 10 minutes longer and then finally got the courage to check on him. He was (and still is) passed out on the floor in front of the bathroom door!!! Joe is in charge of putting him in bed!!
My right leg above my knee has been tingling all day and I'm not sure why. I really hope it stops tingling because we don't have insurance anymore and I really hate to go to the doctor with no insurance :(
I'm thankful to God for giving us such a great day!! (I don't think we had any fights)
