Nolan's Sandbox

Greetings, faithful readers!

Nolan and I made a trip up to the house yesterday and got some great pictures.  We had a little incident getting our feet sucked into the mud, but we managed to escape.

Other than that, there's nothing too exciting going on.  The builders are putting in the wrong closets (which they will fix), and Nolan finally got to play in the sand pile which has been tempting him for several weeks:

The thing I find interesting about this whole house-building process is the order in which things are done.  I was very surprised to see the trim up and the closets getting installed, yet none of the electric outlets and switches have connections.  It's not a bad thing; it's just interesting.

The home builders are prepping these lots behind our house.  I think
all of these will be built next year, or the year after.  Nolan is going
to love watching the construction crews work.

Outside of the house (obviously).  The windows in the
foreground are the windows to the eat-in kitchen.

This yard will look so nice once there's grass and a big ol'
swing set installed.  Oh, wait...

 

Another outside shot; the windows look into
the master bathroom.

"Hurry up, Mom!  Let's go play outside!"

"Let me outside, Mom!  I want to play in the sand!"

Fancy stair rail.

Upstairs bedroom

Oh, good.  More scary attic stairs. *shudders*

Closets.  We're getting something much fancier
than this.  I am very excited (which officially
makes me a grown-up, I think).

New trim on the window and the floor.

Laundry room with the wrong shelving installed.

Upstairs bedroom.  (Notice the little boy peaking
his head in through the door?)

Literally right after I clicked this picture, we fell over.
Nolan was proud of himself for knocking Mommy over.

The closet shelving we're going to be getting is this:

I am obviously VERY excited for that.  Hello, organization!
