We played hooky from school and work, picked up some doughnuts and headed out to our land for a concrete party this morning. The crew started pouring concrete around 6:00 but were still in full-swing when we arrived around 8:00. The concrete pump truck was truly amazing, and the crew was so fun to watch in action. They used so many interesting tools and pieces of equipment, I thought the boys (all three of them) would pass out from excitement! In fact, at one point, Max was looking straight up at the boom of the pump truck and said, "That is so awesome! I'm going to have to sit down!" When we left for lunch, all the concrete was down, and the crew was busy with the process of smoothing. We came back after lunch to "leave our mark." And then the kids spent some time making a "fort" before we headed home for naps. It was an exciting day, and it's even more exciting to see our house coming together!

Construction is the BEST to watch. We spent all of Fall watching them re-do our road. It's amazing how fascinating it is.
