1. We left late to go to Joplin.

2. We talked a lot on the way down there. I obsessed about work and boys and she obsessed about her boy.

3. When we got there we danced with the boys for a few minutes and then had them help us unpack the truck. They were so cute. At one point over the weekend the three of them carried this big duffle bag together up to Serinia's room.

4. Mom showed up later and we all went to bed.

5. Saturday was full of muffins, hanging with the boys, painting, unpacking Serinia and getting things from the hardware store.

6. Saturday night was all about polka dancing at the Ernte Fest. The parking guys rode horses! We got free beer! We did the chicken dance!

7. Sunday I worked on plumbing while my mom, Serinia and Erica put together some wardrobes. Nate helped me put the plumbing together.

8. Monday morning was hanging out with the boys before they went to school, putting together a picnic table (Nate and Wyatt learned how to drill) and getting a manicure and pedicure with my mom.

9. The drive home was too event full. No one warned me that the truck's fuel gage didn't work and I ran out of gas by Bulter, MO. Some nice old guy gave me a ride, even though I was weirded out by getting a ride with someone it was a couple miles to the exit. Then I got caught behind an accident in KC and had to stop because of the storms in Iowa. I got home at 2:30am and am really tired today.

10. I think I drove right by the town
