Marshall, Marshall, Marshall

In late April our neighborhood started undergoing a summer road project.  New roads, gutters, curbs--and a whole of dirt---a wonderland of countless hours of playtime for Marshall!
Between the dirt on the roads, the 5 feet of dirt from the curb and up into our yard, the lakes in the streets thanks to a few downpours and how can I not mention all the MIGHTY MACHINES that were all over the place??  Well, all of this has given Marshall his best summer yet--and for a 3 year old that means a lot!!

The Bobcat!!

The "Earth-mover"

The small Steamroller!

The mighty digger!


A view of our corner in this madness!

Let it rain, Let it pour...LET US GET DIRTY!!



Marshall enjoyed just watching this whole process!

My little boy in the BIG Digger's bucket!



They had just come by and cut through our driveway--getting ready to tear it out and Marshall
his very own dirt playland in our front yard!

A bird's eye view of the construction right from our porch...He's "working" right along with them!


Replacing the culvert that goes through our backyard and under the road!


The "not so fun" part of this process is how when it rained our driveway got completely flooded.

eww...

But in the end...the girls enjoyed the big crazy puddles in  the street!




My little construction guy!



The perfect place to play!


Oh, no...the sod is coming..and so are Marshall's tears. 



A Marshall Truck??  A Marshall Cement truck??  WOW!!

Coming to our house??  Can it be???


YEP!!  Our new driveway with special concrete out of the Marshall Truck!!

The perfect place to have breakfast!!




Awesome!!!

  1. there is so very much that is awesome about this post. Our driveway was done two years ago when I had a couple of girls and a little boy who was too small to care. Oh, how much more fun this would have been!!! And a Marshall truck!? Are you kidding me? You couldn't have planned it better! That is just incredible :)
