Last week was devoted almost exclusively to the Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Kolbe was not too interested in the celebrities, just the big construction vehicles!We thought we knew all of the names for the big vehicles, but learned this excavator is also called a trackhoe. This is the jargon of a mother of a construction boy. Kolbe sat/stood mesmerized by all of the activity the first morning. We were there from 8:30 until after 2 when the house was finally demolished.
The first time Kolbe watched the show with Jeff several weeks ago, he was very concerned that the big machines were going to tear OUR house down. It was good for him to see all they do before the actual demolition, they don't just drive up to a house and destroy it. Kolbe spent Tues all morning with mom, and after Jeff got off work Tues, he and Kolbe headed out with their sack dinners to watch until dark. Wednesday night they did it again, and Friday after Jeff got off work we all went out and watched the action. It was AMAZING to see a house be constructed in one week. They definitely know what they are doing and are very well organized! Libby loves dragging her bags around. Of course the "hat" she is wearing is a purse I crocheted for her at Christmas. She has never quite figured out that that is NOT a hat; We've never seen her put it on her shoulder like a purse.
