Fionn and I drove past on the way to school and they were just getting started. I picked Carter up from school and we headed over there. Carter was so excited I thought he might faint when Larry asked if he wanted to drive the bulldozer. Kenny showed him the rope and he dug out 2 piles!! You couldn't wipe the toothless grin from his face if you tried!
After that, we went home and returned with Helena and Fionn in tow. Warren met us there later for champagne and snacks. We also met a few new neighbors. We were slightly ghetto - hosting a picnic in front of a mud hole out of the back of a minivan. But, whatever, the neighbors seemed to like us. Maybe because I had a cooler of Upland?
The kids had so much fun! They raced around and climbed the mud mounds until it started to get dark. It was a beautiful day and we are all very excited!!
Carter was up this hill before I was completely out of the car!
Pretty sweet image.

Right front corner of the house. Remember that blue stake?
Carter in the hole. I could barely get him out to get home and gather the other two!!
Big day for Carter and Larry!
Helena in the hole!
Who the hell is that anyway? Fionn???
Fionny at the tip top!
Our ghetto picnic.
Fionn chilling on the front corner. He was more interested in the house they are building across the street I guess.
What a beautiful night.
And, they found geodes.
Here they are.
We finally got them into the car and home for a late dinner. I think Carter fell asleep as his head was falling into his pillow. Helena, of course, was up all night. Typical. Who cares? We're building a house!!
