csberryI started to post about the day last night, but collapsed before I could get much typed in.
JD's mom came by to pick her up around 3:30am. Something woke me up, I saw the headlights hit the window, and I heard JD shut the front door to go out. This was immediately followed by Harper yelling to tell me that she was awake. JOY!
I managed to get her back to sleep, but she woke up for good at 6:30am. The morning went fine, all the kids and myself were nearly completely ready when the guys showed up. The kids came outside to "help." Even with the kids around, we managed to replace the boys' bedroom door, put in extra supports between roof trusses, added several square yards of flooring to the attic, and cut and hung replacement drywall on the ceiling. We cleaned up the garage and driveway and were ready to start watching the Iron Bowl around 2:45pm (over an hour into the game - whoo! DVRs!). During the morning chores, I put together Sante Fe soup in the crockpot to cook while we were working. Mom showed up around noon and had a buffet of hors d'oeuvres ready for the horde of us to watch the football game.
The house was very quiet by the time Mom took the kids home and Mike and Dad left after the game. JD and I started to watch I Love You, Man (Meh) and I was asleep shortly after 9:30pm.
