Rain, Rain, Go Away

So, the roofers finished half the roof last Saturday. They took Sunday off. Now it is Wednesday and the roof is still only half complete. It has rained and is supposed to rain until Friday. Meanwhile, we have the huge scrap wagon blocking our driveway and nails, scraps of shingles everywhere.

To add to this, the wall people came in and started fixing the wall. They finished most of the plastering but, as it is so humid and things are drying, they had to stop as well. Geez!

So had 14 people in from work for dinner and a poker game last night. The sales guys for my company were in the office for a sales meeting. They are a great bunch who I enjoy working with. Whenever they are in town, it is always fun to have one or more over. Having all of them is a bit much...but still fun. The house is a mess but they did not care. The Crown and Jack were flowing freely. They kept pouring for hubby (thanking him for the great dinner he grilled). The sales guys were quite chipper this morning for the sales meeting. Hubby, on the other hand, I am not sure what time he surfaced as he was still wrapped like a tortilla in the dark with his head covered when I left this morning. ;) They came, they ate, they wore out the kid and the dog, they overwatered my hubby, they won all hubbies money at the poker game and then left....it was a successful evening.

Still playing with Halloween pictures. We visited two pumpkin patches this year. Little one loved the little pumpkins and the plastic pumkins with handles.

Little one has learned to put on and take off her shoes, at least some shoes. She can put on momm shoes, which is funny watching her clomp around the house in oversized shoes. She can also put on her sandles and her swim shoes, and often wears one of each. If she needs help putting on one of the shoes and if I am sitting on the ground, she will back herself into my lap, sit down, hand me the shoe, lift up her foot and say "mommy help you." (I guess she gets this from me always asking if she wants me to help her...do you want mommy to help you?) Too funny.
