More digging!

Well that's about all to report! The digger has been hard at it since Monday morning; there's a lot of dirt to be moved! The cut is enormous; the kids are going to have some fun with that!

Until tomorrow,

The first sod has been turned!!!!!!

I thought I'd drop by the block this morning after school drop-off, not expecting to see anything happening at 9.15am on a Monday morning! How wrong was I?!!!!! I was so excited to see the digger getting stuck right in and the dunny was delivered a couple of hours later!!!! To say I was excited was an understatement! So now the fun starts! Can't wait to watch the action!

Well bugger me!!!!

Absolutely nothing to do with the house but we had our 20 week scan today! Bubs is going great and all organs, arms, legs, fingers and toes are accounted for. Only one thing missing: a willy. Yes, we are having a PINK one!!!! You could have knocked us down with a feather! I was so sure there was another little bloke in there, but sometimes the strangest things happen! The shock is slowly starting to wear off!

Anyway, on the home front, nothing to report other than they should hopefully be 'turning the first sod' sometime next week hopefully - fingers crossed! As usual, I will keep you posted!

Building Permit....

As I said below, we sent off the Planning Permit to Rawdon Hill on Thursday. We'd been told that it would take around 2 weeks to then get the Building Permit and another 2 or so weeks to order materials etc. before things started to happen.

Dave rang the Builder yesterday morning, who gave us the fabulous news that the Building Permit was all ready to go! They were hopefully receiving it today and will then forward it on to us! How quick was that?!! So we could quite possibly see 'action stations' within the next two weeks!!!! We are very excited!!!!

Spew......literally!!!!!

Well I was very excited that I was going down to pick our Planning Permit up this morning! Preppie Jett decided to do the "I don't feel well, I don't want to go to school" thing for the first time! "Here we go", I thought! "Forget it", I said. "You're going!" So we got ready and went to school and he was decidly 'green' by the time we got there. Hmmmm. Better to be safe than sorry, so I relented and decided to let him stay home.

Off we went to the Council on the way home. The boys went to play with the toys while I went to the counter. With Planning Permit in my hot little hand, I turned to get the boys. I took one look at Jett's face, thought "Oh oh", he said, "I'm going to be sick", and proceeded to start throwing up! I carried him through the foyer and outside to be sick in the bushes. Not quick enough though; leaving a trail of vomit all over the Council carpets! Well, if they hadn't made us get a Planning Permit, it would never have happened!!!!! Unfortunately, I had to clean it up though! I remember thinking, "Thank god I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't suffer from morning sickness", or it could have been very nasty!!!!!!

So what an exciting morning for us!!!!! I express posted the Permit off to the Builder and now it is all up to them! Hopefully no more of those surprises along the way! I will update when I have news from the Builder on start dates etc.!
