It's a beautiful thing

It's a beautiful thing when there is a big mound of dirt in your driveway.

We have 10 more days in our house! It is truly unbelievable, but we are ready, or atleast going to be ready. Probably half of the things are already packed and moved, either in mom and dad's house or in storage. Really we only have several last minute/day things and a little bedroom furniture.

The girls and I drove out to the lot today and the forms were there for the basement to be poured. Boy am I already learning a lot about construction. (I pictured the old block basements like the one little pig builds for his sturdy house.) I'm sure that type of construction ended sometime in the 80's. Anyway, Emma wants a peach or tan house and definately a tan garage. Then she requested a SpongeBob Squarepants shower curtain....NO WAY!

Then at bedtime she told me that she is so excited to live with grandma and grandpa because they fix "yummy breakfasts." She said when she spends the nights over there in the past, she always asks for donuts for breakfasts and she always "gets them." (Imagine that.) :)

Anyway, we went to the zoo today with our cousins and it was probably one of the best trips there. We were there for 3 1/2 hours but it was great and we never got rained on.
