Today we got a driveway!

The last few days have seen a lot of action out the front of the house. Here we are at 9am this morning with Cooper's enthusiastic face all ready for action and me not yet ready for the day (dressed but sans make-up and pre-coffee both of which never eventuated due to all the excitement to follow!)

Here are some pics which culminated in us finally having a driveway up to the new garage! We can't drive on it for a week, but we are enjoying looking at it!!



Watch this space for when the doors go in and the front of the garage looses it's "ghetto" look....












Cooper was thrilled to have not just the usual one but TWO concrete trucks here at the same time (it actually took 3 truckloads of concrete as one truck came back again). BTW cool pic including my hanging baskets for those not so into concrete trucks!
Here is a pic of the wee man helping out with his concrete tool and another of him being very interested with one of the trowels (he did actually get to use it in the wet concrete at one point!). We spent close to 6 hours outside and it was almost impossible to get him to stop and eat or drink as it was all so exciting! I finally put him in his buggy (stroller) around 4pm as he was exhausted but not wanting to miss any action (plus they were cutting the concrete - prevents it cracking in the Winter for those who wonder why on earth they would do such a thing to such a beautiful piece of work!) and we went for a walk to post Oskar's birthday presents and he fell asleep on the way home. As I type this it is around 6pm and no sounds are emitting from upstairs as yet!
