bang bang

Above me is the bang, scrape, twang and pounding of my father in law, husband, and cousin in law ripping 4 layers of shingles off of our roof. Soon, a huge BFI bin will be parked in front of our house to hold said ripped shingles and other rotting roof paraphanalia. Tomorrow and Sunday more uncles in law and a few other manly friends of Troy's will be swarming the bare skeleton of our roof and laying new plywood, shingles, and hopefully not broken bones, blood, or too many Coors Light cans. I asked Troy to foot the bill to allow Ethan and I a stay at the Empress for a few days to get away from the din, but surprisingly he said no. Huh.

Ethan seems pretty unfazed by the noise above him - but I wonder how he'll get through his afternoon nap in a couple of hours. Hopefully okay.

And later this afternoon I'm getting my hair "did" and coloured brown again. Because its Fall, and I'm tired of the root-maintenance highlights come with. Ethan's grandma will get to babysit for a couple of hours. Then home tonight for a glass of wine and early to bed as the boys will be here bright and early I'm sure.

Hope the rest of you have a more relaxing weekend in store!
