Building, Breaking, and Wading

 

Well, as you may guess from the title we’ve had some good and some bad with the house in the last few days. First up is the good news:

Us hanging out in the big living room windows that face the backyard:

Standing at the top of the stairs looking on to the living room:

Will’s room and bathroom have started upstairs:

And then there’s this…

No, that’s not Old Faithful, that’s the street in front of our house. They broke the water line as they were hooking up to it. We shut off water in the whole neighborhood. As one of my students put it, "(I'm) going to have to bake a LOT of brownies." Yikes.

So between that and the rain we’ve had our lot is pretty muddy. So, in order to go and walk around I went to get Will some rain boots. Y’all… if I could possibly explain how excited he was about these! Let’s just say I took this picture in the frozen food isle at Wal Mart. He wore them around the store he was so excited and I lifted him to the lady to scan as we checked out. He loves loves LOVES these boots.

So I guess there’s some positive in all of the crazy. That silly boy can make us smile one way or another!
