Goin' on a trip

We are headed out to Utah today for 10 days. Driving for the first time. Michael and I are strangely excited for the adventure. I'm slightly worried about Cali tolerating her carseat, but for the moment, I'm feeling optimistic. I've been working all week and now today we just gotta throw the bags in the car.

Funny conversation with Alyssa in the car this morning...she was listing off the "bad words" she isn't supposed to say. Such as "not fair" or hate. She said, what is that word we aren't supposed to say that is like penis. It starts with a "d." Ummmmmm...... The boys asked me the other day if "D" was a bad word. I explained it can be a man's name, but mostly, yes, it is a bad word and we shouldn't say it. They asked what it meant. I like to be honest and open when they ask, so I said it is another name for penis (I have become comfortable in my mothering years using that word). Now they know, don't say it. I love it when the boys refer to stupid as the "s" word. They don't know the *other* "s" word, yet.

I will leave you with a few pics of our home. It is coming along quite nicely. SO fun to watch the little details. I took 3 friends on a tour last week and that was really fun, too. I'm getting really excited and with a SOLD sign on our current home, feeling ready to let go. I'm glad my parting ways with this home has lingered. It has helped.







Matthew was quite fascinated by the guys on stilts tape and floating the ceiling drywall.

It did look pretty cool.



So many fun things to do around the lot.
The next day, all the brick was done on the side.
Can't wait to see the changes after 10 days! I have a friend taking a few pics for me during. We are hoping that May 10th it will be all ready for us!
