Hard Workin' Man

Us girls have had a house guest this week. Joe took off all week to pay himself to put a new roof on our house! Sunday afternoon was spent with Nathanael taking off the old roof over the bedroom side of the house. Monday Joe scrambled along with his trusty employee Jeremy and even paid his partner Drew a few hours to get it recovered because the forecast changed to predicting rain... and rain it did! ALL DAY LONG Tuesday! But it was ok because our home was dry with the new roof over half of it! So tuesday "the day for the ducks" as Annie and I deemed it, was spent leisurely laying around in bed for an hour with the girls, then Annie and I made pumpkin waffles!!!!! LOVE!!! We then headed out into the wet to shop for blinds for the bay window and to pick up a few essential items Joe needed to install my wonderful new ceiling fan and light in the Living room!
Daddy's little helper, she was up on his step ladder as soon as he was down and begged to climb the ladder into the crawlspace above the L.R as well.

Wednesday was spent pacing the floor as it was "supposed to" stop raining in the early morning. Joe ended up getting a few things done on the roof.
Thursday was the same story with the questionable weather and finally he was able to start removing the old shingles on the second half of the roof. Today the boys are in full swing trying to catch up and I must say they are doing a "bang up" job literally as my dining room chandelier rattles away with ever nail hammered in!

That little girl with her tool belt. Adorable!!!!!!! Big Uncle Joe would have loved to had your rain, and we also need roof. But I am thinking maybe could not afford the travel time expenses!
