Dirt lovers

I thought no one would love dirt as much as Michael.  Well I was wrong.

She was actually on her stomach waving her hands and legs around making dirt angels.  She also eats dirt.  A LOT of dirt.  At least she's getting her minerals.

The House

Since we close in a little over a week I thought I'd write a little bit about the house.  Or just show you a basic picture.

They have painted the stucco but I refuse to post a picture of it right now.  I'm told it's still wet and will dry the right color...right now it's green and brown instead of dark and light grey.  It honestly doesn't look that bad until you see the bright red front door.  Plus that little part up top is supposed to be bright red too.  Either it will dry the right colors or I will make them repaint the door so it doesn't look like Christmas puked on our house.

Here is our very, very dusty kitchen.  The only reason it isn't dusty anymore is because someone must have written something obscene in the dust and the main contractor rubbed it off and left a note not to write in the dust again.  The appliances are all in now so it does look a little more homey.  

So far everything with the building process has been okay.  There have been a few annoyances here and there, but none too bad.  Actually getting a mortgage has been a nightmare.  We've had to write up letter after letter and fax in countless things.  Like we had to write up a letter to explain why one of Josh's deposits and his pay stub were $18 off.  Apparently taking cash out of your account is subject to question.  Oh, and paying, yup paying, for a certificate that says we know how to make a budget and not spend money on unnecessary things.  Did I mention we had to pay for that certificate??
