Boring Tuesday.

Joe set his alarm for 9:30am. Not sure why because we usually hit the snooze button a couple of times. Nate was in bed with at about 9ish. I'm not sure because Joe got him. Nate didn't fight Joe or yell or cry when he had to take a shower. I was shocked. Joe was getting dressed and heard Dad downstairs. Nate stayed uptairs with me while I got ready & Joe went outside with Dad to start working on the rental yard.

Dad backed the long trailer in between the RV & the fence. They lined the sides with old pallets & hand-loaded a HUGE pile of wood onto it. Then Dad positioned the trailer in between our driveway & the rental yard and they hand-loaded more wood onto it. The pile on the trailer is now about 4 feet high. They will add more boards to the side so they can pile a couple more feet onto it!



Nate & I searched for fabric for a little bit but didn't find much. Then I realized that I have a bunch of jeans that have been cut up for pot holders that are not being used. I'm now cutting letters out of the old jeans. I will be sewing a piece of fabric about 1/4 inch bigger than the denim letter and sewing it together. Then I'm going to repeat it with another piece about 1/4 bigger than the last piece and sew that together as well. Once the letters are sewn, I'll sew them to a towel. Once I finish one, I'll post a picture. It will make more sense & it will be AWESOME!!



Ava came over just before 5pm as Mike, Cindy, & boys went to a Cardinal game in St. Louis. I left for work as Cindy dropped her off. Joe said her & Nate were fine. When I got home at 9pm they were watching a cartoon movie. Ava wanted a sucker so they both ended up getting one. (Can't give one to one kid at not the other!!) Just before 10pm the tv was turned off & it was time for bed. Ava wanted to sleep on the couch. She was out within about 10 or 15 minutes I think. I brought Nate up to his bed. I layed him down, gave him a kiss, covered him up, & walked out. He never once made a single peep!!!! YEA!!!!

Vince told me the Cardinals won the game... 9-3. Mike & Cindy are on their way here to get Ava. I cleaned up the front room & made sure all the toys are past the columns in the playroom. Now I'm checking out phones because we really need to get them ordered.

I'm thankful that Nate went to sleep so easily! I really hope this will happen a lot more!!
