Demolition Day

There once were two little houses on the back of a lot. 
While these two houses were nice, one had fallen into major disrepair... 


...and the other lacked the space to hold a growing family.


So the purple eater came and made one little boys' day while it sat in the driveway waiting for its moment.


 Grown boys found great joy in throwing refrigerators through a window in preparation.


And everyone enjoyed a small decorating party to bid the littlest house farewell.

                        


This morning the purple eater's moment had come...


...and while the men watched the spectacle from the roof, the women and children gathered below to bid the homes goodbye.


The purple eater did half the job today...


...and left the home in disrepair like this.


And tomorrow we will bid the smaller house farewell.

And in the weeks to come to we will welcome a new house that can hold our growing family.

I have to admit, it is a little sad seeing the cottage in shambles. But I LOVE what the future holds.

bye bye little cottage! I'll miss the trail of ants from the window into the bed and the little cockroach that was my first cockroach kill, and seeing my first baby boy take naps there and play there. So excited to see it and you guys next month!

Howdy, Neighbor!
Hey, this morning I remembered to shut my curtains so the nice construction workers weren't blinded when I got out of the shower again.
Just thought you might like to know.

What a day you had! It looks like everyone had a great time. It is a little sad for us oldies, but we are certainly excited for your new home! Looking forward to watching it all come together.
