This will be the first post of many showing the progress of our home building process.

At this point we have had a few minor hiccups. The lot we originally chose for some reason will no longer be a basement lot. This presented a major problem because there aren’t many basement lots available and at this time we will either end up on lot 45 which is toward the front of the development or on lot 29 which is in a cul de sac and right across from the original lot we selected.

The minor issue with lot 29 is someone currently has a contract on it but they are going back and forth regarding whether or not they they would like a basement. We are hoping they don’t so we can move to it.

Me standing and looking back on the lot. The fact that is slopes bothers me a bit *shrugs*

Turned around and this is the distance to the front of the lot.

Next issue we were having but that has been resolved is we I wasn’t sure about the floor plan. There is one particular floor plan that is very open and has a craftsman feel but the family room is very small but it has an extra bedroom. Compared to that is the larger home with only 4 bedrooms and a study. We I decided to go with the larger home because there is a possibility that we may be having another baby and I am thinking of 3 growing children, 4 including my stepdaughter and my husband has a large family that comes to visit often. I want to make sure that we have enough space to entertain. To solve that issue we will furnish the study so that it can easily be converted to guest bedroom/bedroom for my stepdaughter in the event we add to the roster before the basement gets finished 😉

We are currently in the process of putting our current home up for short sale. We are $100K in the hole!!! The process is long and grueling from my understanding but God is able and we are leaning on that!

Friday evening Addison and I along with one of my very good friends and her daughter stepped out to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center for the ultimate Friday girls night out to see Super Why Live.

Upon arriving she was on diva ‘tude mode because she wasn’t able to get her nap out.

Her attitude was short lived. The show started off with a bang. Captivated her attention the entire time. The show was full of fun special effects that at times had me wondering how they were done. From flying space ships that descended from the top of the stage to an acrobat twirling on two long pieces of fabric suspended in mid air. There was not a dull moment to be had. Full on interactive fun for everyone.

The show did an awesome job of blending the cartoon with real life characters that  encouraged the children’s participation throughout the entire show. I was very impressed. I love when shows are just as entertaining to the parents as they are to the children. I’ll admit I was singing right along.

I wasn’t able to get any really good shots with my phone. I didn’t want to bring my camera because I know they have become strict about that when it comes to seeing shows so sorry I don’t have better photos but that just means you need to go and see it for yourself!

The second leg of the show will be kicking off this fall. Please make sure to visit Super Why Live  for more information as new dates and locations are added. You will not be sorry. The kids will love it.

What live shows have you taken your babies to see? Do you plan on checking out Super Why if it makes it to a location near you?

*I was provided complimentary tickets to view Super Why Live. All opinions as always and forever more until the end of time mine*

The other day while I was watching television with the children I caught the tale end of the commercial for the new movie The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The part where the leaves were growing out of his legs. I’ll admit I was intrigued. I wanted to know how the leaves got there.

Then the next time it came on I caught it at the part when he was playing in the leaves. Again I am a bit confused. I finally caught the commercial from the beginning after telling my son to tell me when it came back on.

In case you were perplexed as I was the film is a Dramedy starring Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton who play a happily married couple that dreams of what the child they would like to have would be like and before they know it they get the surprise of their life when Timothy comes into their lives.

The film is  directed by Peter Hedges, he also directed the movie “Dan in Real Life.” OMG, have you seen that movie?  Hee.larious.

I digress.

Anyway I can’t wait to take the kids to see “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” My son will already be back in school. It will be our summer wind down movie outing.

Have you seen the preview? If not, here you go.

Do you have any plans to see the movie?
