We came home today to find the back room has been turned into a wildly unsafe deck!
I wish I'd had a camera on to capture the little guy's face as he first rounded the back corner of the house.
The only downside so far has been that our baseball/kickball field is now limited to the first base line. I don't want the kids running around in construction junk. Otherwise, it's just one exciting day after another!
Our Little Boogers
Sharing our lives: two kids, two full-time jobs, one old house, and plenty of love and laughter. And baseball.

Progress!
This is what we came home to on Friday:
All our kid pictures from the weekend are on Eric's phone, but I'll have some to post tomorrow. I'll also have even more pictures of demolition! Our builder thinks it'll take about two weeks to tear it all down.

Softball and the Beginning
We all went to Eric's softball game tonight. The kids had a picnic.
Also, demolition started this afternoon... It's all very exciting!

Excitement!
At 7:30 this morning, a dumpster was delivered to our yard. We are so thrilled to be beautifying the neighborhood like this.
The kids were enthralled! They were excited to see the truck, but they also enjoyed looking into the dumpster from our bedroom window.

Champion!
I did it! The little guy's school laid out all the clothes in the lost and found (soooo many clothes). I went through almost all of it, but I found his fleece! It's been missing for months!!

Weekend Away
We are celebrating our tenth anniversary by spending a weekend in the mountains. It was supposed to be rainy and cold, but today was gorgeous! We hiked to a waterfall and visited an alpaca farm!

Rainy Evening
It's been chilly and rainy here, and what better way to spend an evening than snuggled under a blanket reading books?
I'm looking forward to warmth again, though. It's May! It should be hot!!

Helpful Helpers
It was rainy all day today, so we had an inside night. The kids helped me make chocolate chip cookies. By helped, I mean they stood between me and the mixer and argued about who got to do what.
We had a good time (and the cookies turned out well).

Beautiful Evening
It was another beautiful evening tonight. I ran out of flour and trash bags, so we took a nice walk to the grocery store.
I love our neighborhood.

Sunday Snuggles
After a beautiful worship service and a bunch of errands, the kids and I snuggled up to watch an episode of Mighty Machines.
P.S. Happy 40th anniversary, grandma and gramps!!!

One on One
The baby and I went to the playground by ourselves tonight! It was nice to have some time alone with her.
She's completely absurd, and she loves her new sandals.

Story time
Eric entertained the kids with stories at the playground tonight.
So nerve wracking!
In other news, the last authorization came through for our addition!!

Playground!
Eric had a softball game tonight, so the kids and I had an open evening. We spent a full hour at the playground!

Excitement!
With all the rain lately, we seem to have developed a little ant problem. Eric went on the roof at bedtime to spray and inspect, but I think we are going to call an exterminator tomorrow.

Dressing Herself
The not-really-a-baby insists on dressing herself. Here she is, checking the paper before heading out:

Relaxing Morning
This evening, I'm fondly remembering our relaxing Sunday morning (starting at 6am, so whatever).
Eric and I had a complete panicmomentafternoon today when we thought we'd either have to (a) go have another variance hearing, or (b) redo the appraisal for the loan we already got. I think we've figured it out, though, and should be fine. Phew!

Getting Started!
We're waiting for the last two permits, and our builder has started dropping stuff off! This is what we found in the yard when we got home tonight.
Things are starting to happen!

Two kids and a truck
How do people get anything done without kids to help them? We rented a truck for an hour or so today to take the big things to storage.
The baby wants to buy a truck when she grows up. A cute little truck, in case you were wondering what kind.
