Cement
The footings are being poured right now. I still can't believe that I am having an addition put on my house! My Anderson french door, screens and Anderson windows arrived yesterday. A little early but here nonetheless.
Yesterday was another busy day. I registered my Junior GS troop at council and bought all the essentials: books, vests, t-shirts, troop crests and numbers and Youngest's Daisy tunic. It's SO CUTE! ::View image::. I had some time to kill before we met Husband at Lowes so the girls and I stopped in Target. They had school supplies on sale so the girls got some 2 pocket folders, crayons and I snagged a ton of glue sticks and three 3 subject spiral notebooks for Scouts. I also bought two 10-packs of spiral notebooks. C'mon, they were a $1 for each 10-pack! Whatta bargain! I picked through the clearance racks and found a pair of jeans for Youngestfor $5.38. Woohoo! I love bargains.
After we made our purchases at Target, the girls and I drove to Lowes to meet Husband. He and I wanted to take a look around and see what was available there. We have a Home Depot about 5 miles from the house and I didn't like anything there. The girls were bored and got a little antsy but they survived it. Husband and I didn't have to kill them. Maybe remembering that we would stop at McDonalds AFTER we finsihed at Lowes helped. Of course, the girls did make it to Mickey D's and then we headed home. They took off to play with the neighbor kid for about an hour while Husband and I relaxed and watched tv.
Today - I'm still running around.. gymnastics, scout stuff, tons of phone calls, the water test for the well... and I still have to go to the supermarket and work on laundry.
Blah.

Does this mean you're going to lead two troops in the fall?
I almost can't bear to go to Shop-Rite because of all the school stuff already being on sale. Come on! It's only July. It's like selling Christmas ornaments in September.

Better to have the windows now instead of waiting around for them a week after the whole thing was completed! :D I'd be standing in the garage (or wherever you're going to keep them), staring at them, dreaming of the new addition... ;)
