Loved the day!!

There was a loud noise that I kept hearing over & over again this morning. I wasn't sure if it was in my dream or real. I kept sleeping & then Joe put Nate in bed with us at about 7:30am-ish. At about 8am Dad called to say he was on his way to Hannibal. Then shortly after that I realized what the noise was... the guys taking the shingles off the back half of our roof!! New roof day!! Mom & Dad picked up Joe to go buy the shingles. We paid for them but it was a hefty chuck of change; $1,005.48. But at least they're paid for and we don't owe Mom & Dad back for them! They did loan us the money for the labor but once we get the check back from the hail damage, they will get the majority of it.



When they got back we had breakfast and then Mom & Dad headed home so Mom could go to Columbia. Nate & I went out back & watched them work on the roof for a bit. After I showered & Joe bathed Nate, I decided that I was gonna go to Quincy. I invited my friend Ashley to go with us. It was a girl's day out with Nate!! We had a lot of fun. We went to Joanne Fabrics (I got thread & now Ashley wants a sewing machine), the resale baby store (I got the CUTEST roller skates/blades for Nate that fit over his shoes & extend for when he's older), Bed Bath & Beyond (didn't get any towels as they cost too much)& Sam's. I think that's all the places we went to. Nate ran around Sam's as much as he could. We even got 3 pizzas for $3 each!!! Someone ordered & never picked them up. They were gonna throw them out so I got 'em! I took Ashley home. Grandpa was at our house when Nate & I got home.



Joe said he wanted to go on a walk so we wen tto Mark Twain Elementary school & played on the Big Toy playground. Joe & I had more fun that Nate as we started swinging. Not only did we swing but we jumped off the swings like we were kids! I jumped about 5 times. We were trying to get pictures of mid-air jumps & Joe never could get my mid-air shot. I think he just wanted me to keep jumping! We were at the park for prolly 45 minutes or so and then we walked back home. Dad was still there when we got home so him & I took a tour of the rental house while Joe & Nate came back inside to play some more. Dad left shortly after our tour and I came inside to be with my guys.





We cleaned the house, had dinner, did laundry, packed for the weekend (Nate & I are going to Lisa's house with Laura, Logan, & Beau), played with Nate, & then Joe rocked him to sleep. We were thinking of watching a movie but didn't. Too much other stuff to do. I prolly won't blog tomorrow as I'll be in Hartsburg.







I'm thankful for friends to spend the afternoon with & just hang out and do girl stuff!
