drainage project

A few key notes:
*never give a 4yo a shovel and tell him to "go dig something"
*boys+large machines=momma got a LOT of reading time in this week.
*daddy thinks his new(ish) boots are pretty spiffy
*ducks do not like dump trucks full of gravel
*man I grew since the last belly shot.
*boy2 really thought that if he sprayed long enough, the treads on the excavator would come clean.
*we are grateful for workers who hide the keys to the skid steer/track loader/bulldozer (depending on who you ask) so that no harm will come while the boys are role-playing.
*it's not nesting when your house really is that filthy.
*hooray for the Academy finding enough $$ in their budget for this much-needed project.
*really hoping the new porch(es) are big enough for a grill, picnic table, and some patio furniture.
*Labour(sic) Day is coming. I'm just sayin'...

aaaaahhhhh, un-private your pictures so that I can see details. It's like the house is going backwards in time.

My fav is definitely the pic of P with the shovel just standing there like he had done ALL THAT. :) And yes, you've grown. I believe I noted that the other week when I told you you FINALLY looked big enough to maybe be getting close. ;) Looking forward to "labor day" :D (hey, this will be our first one!!!!!!!! :D Much better to meet him at X hrs - or whatever - old rather than weeks or months - or year +)

WOW! Wish we were still in MD. I'd drive up so ALL the boys could play in the mud together!
