New Concrete...worth missing school for!

The new driveway being poured

The new basketball goal

Last week, the construction crew decided they were going to pour our new driveway. Well, I had to rush and pick up Jackson from school so that all three kids could put their hands in the wet concrete! When I went to sign him out, I couldn't think of a short sentence to write on the check-out page, so I just left it blank. What was I going to write..."They are pouring concrete for our new driveway and I want Jackson to put his hands in it."

We made an afternoon out of the event, the kids having a picnic in the garage and then of course, the hands in the concrete event. I love stuff like this!

This past weekend, we put up our new basketball goal. For some reason, putting a basketball goal in concrete was like a milestone of our life. It kind of said, "we're here to stay" and "we have a child old enough to play on a real basketball goal". It was good thing.
