I did! We got our concrete poured today for our patio and our sidewalk. We actually had no idea they were coming because the guy never did return any of Jeff’s phone calls. So, when 4 trucks pulled up to my house at 9am this morning, that’s who I figured it was. And they got right to work! Jeff was on his way back from girl’s camp and so I was really nervous to have these guys here with me and the kids here by ourselves. I once again realized how spoiled I am to have Jeff work from home because I’m not alone during the day very often. There was a moment when I had to go out there and tell them they had set it up wrong and told them how we wanted it, only to find out I told them wrong. So, I was really glad when I called Jeffy and he was just down the street. He got home just in time to show them exactly what we wanted before the cement truck showed up. Logan was in love with the two big cement trucks and kept pointing out the window and saying ‘truck!’ The kids loved watching the guys work and they got it all done by about 2 o’clock. And it looks great! We’re excited.

The sidewalk on the left of the house goes all the way to the back of the house and connects to the patio.

Our patio. It’s 10X20 and it seems like it will be a really good size.

While Logan takes his nap in the afternoon I try to do fun things with Lindsay, and in a perfect world that would happen everyday, but it’s not a perfect world so I do it whenever I remember or think of something to do. Anyway, yesterday we made animals out of an egg carton. I have to admit, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. Egg cartons aren’t very even so when you cut them there are holes to deal with but we made it work. I didn’t have any pipe cleaners to make legs or antennas but again we made it work with what he had. Here are our lovely creations:

Lindsay’s bird. She used a yellow and a blue marker to color it because she wanted it to be green. So smart!

Lindsay’s lion

Aren’t they cute?
