Road-work Wednesday!

This is what is going on outside my front door this morning.....it is only 7:15 as I type this, and it seems like these guys have been out there for hours already. It's really only been since 6:25ish...but it seems like forever. Max woke up and said "Mom, why are the tractors screaming? Why are they so loud? My clock doesn't say 7:00 yet!" "Yes, I know sweetie, I know!"

In preparation for the above street project, we found this in our yard!

Thanks Pauly...the kids loved seeing their names in the grass! Perks to knowing city workers!

In hindsight, it's great to have free entertainment right outside the front door. Max has loved watching and chatting with all the workers. Yesterday he came running in the house and informed me that "the guys are hungry....maybe I should take them some fruit snacks!" He's so sweet. Instead, we baked some peanut butter cookies and took a plate out to the guys after lunch.

Max even got his dig-dig out to show it off and I'm sure he even offered to help them...

Here he is in his dig-dig setting right next to the "real" version!

Doing his funny-face!

Kids club!

A big thanks to the city for keeping my kiddos entertained and making a pile of dust in my house!

What great kids you have! You and Andy have done a wonderful job raising them, because you know, kids lead by example!

I am sorry about the early noise but we LOVE the CAT equipment! I bet you will be a popular house on the street with the afternoon snacks. :)

We had some county workers outside our house at 6:30 yesterday morning. I suppose they want to start while it is still cool out.
Love that picture of Max in his dig-dig!

I'd say feeding them is a sure way to keep them coming back! I love the picture of Max in his dig-dig!

I'm feeding them so they don't turn off my water...I have lots of laundry today!

Although, my last load is in the washer now, my morning dishes are done and I've already showered, so I should be okay...the joy of getting up early!

Max in his dig-dig! That is so cute! All that activity is right up a little boy's alley, I guess! And he is sweet to want to share fruit snacks. :)
