Sidewalk Construction

We have had some exciting things going on in our neighborhood.....unfortunately it hasn't involved having a baby yet. The first day of the public school, they decided to rip up the sidewalks in our neighborhood. It makes it difficult for kids to walk to school,  but it has been wonderful for the boys.

Someone came through with a cement cutter and that was exciting, but then the bobcat came! It was too much to resist. We had to go out and watch.

The bobcat driver, Jake, invited Everest to get a closer look and picture. He was speechless. The bobcat got under each slab, picked it up and put them into a dump truck. We watched them do most of our street. Very Exciting. They have not started pouring cement yet, but I am sure that will be just as exciting.

Party preview!

Everest turns 4 next week! I can't believe 4 years have gone by, they really do fly when you have kids. Everest wanted a construction party. We invited a few friends from school and have been planning for a month. We are making it a handmade birthday as much as possible.
Here is a sneak peek of some of the things we are doing. The festivities begin Saturday at 11am!


When we mentioned a party he said he wanted a pinata. At first he wanted a dump truck pinata. I tried to think of a way to make a dump truck pinata, but came up with no ideas. I told him we could do a wrecking ball or caution cone. What do you think? And yes, we even used homemade glue (it was less messy than commercial glue).
Proud of his cone. All we have to do is fill it.....not with candy.

So much fun! I want to be 4 again!
