We have visitors at our home today--roofers. I'll blame it on the wind, actually. There are just enough shingles loose that we need to get some replaced/added on. There is a small leak in the kids' bathroom that, with 7 inches of rain or whatever we've had in the last month, was turning into a bigger leak. No big deal, really, except we had NO access to that area for the guy to check and see if it was a pipe or a venilation thing or the roof. SO, they spent this morning putting a hole in the ceiling of the guest room so they could check the roof. It is all nice and covered up, but it has kept us at home all day. They came back after lunch to work on the roof and re-do some siding that again, was victim to wind a few months back. Natalie was lucky enough to get an invite to the pool with the neighbors. Landry did, too, but I chose for him to nap, instead. No need to punish the kids next door with BOTH of my kids at the pool!!!
It is HOT (93) now and muggy. It is supposed to rain (AGAIN) and storm (AGAIN) tonight, just in time for Shannen's arrival from Savannah tomorrow. Oh well. By the way, while he is "working" at the corporate headquarters of his new job, he had a few minutes to steal away and take this picture. I feel SOOOO bad for him that he is cooped up in meetings for HOURS on end... Give me a freakin' break!!!!!!
No other exciting news, really. The van is blue and pretty and smells new. The coolest feature for me is the "tailgating" seats in the back row. You can pull some cords and flip some switches and the seats turn over and around and you can face backwards with your feet hanging out of the back of the van. NOW, this will never happen, as it is Shannen's work van and is for official business, but maybe I'll just sit in the driveway with the back hatch open and watch the kids ride bikes!!!
No big Father's Day plans as of yet. We did purchase an iPod Nano for Shannen. Stupid me registered it so I could start adding songs. Put it in his name, obviously. We'll guess who sent a "Welcome" email to Shannen on Tuesday??? Great. Thanks, Apple. Oh well. It's not like he has it yet or anything. Oh yeah, another cool feature of the van is that you can just plug the iPod into the radio--no tuner thing like I have in my car. I'm sure it is MUCH better sound. OK it is MUCH better sound, but since I haven't driven the van, I can only assume....
I'm out. Gonna enjoy the sound of pounding nails on the roof, the whirr of the air conditioning, and the quiet of Landry sleeping and Natalie way down the street at the pool. Take care.
