,I have been neglectful in getting this post up as it is from several weeks ago. While grandma was here for a visit the concrete truck arrived before sunrise to begin some of the work on our barn (is this project ever going to end???) We were quite amazed that by truck headlights the men began to work. I think poor grandma got an early wakeup call as there were headlights aimed in her sleeping room because of this!
I was concerned that my 3 year old (who is kind of obsessed by concrete trucks) was going to miss all the fun as he was peacefully asleep that morning, however, the work continued and he did get to see how a concrete truck worked.
We did not concrete the whole barn floor ($$$~!) but did do a small pad off the back of the barn and at the entryway. Also, something that I remember from my childhood is the memory stamp when you have your own concrete poured. So, true to fashion, we put our mark in ours as well. I don't know if we will live here forever but we have the memory of what the children's hands were like the year we put up this barn. Making memories...

The neat thing is that I have caught the children checking out the fit a few times since the concrete dried, seeing how much they have to go before they are the same size as the next sibling up.
