We drove out to our new land to walk around and enjoy the warm weather outdoors. We discovered tons of deer droppings in the wooded area. We'll have some forest friends.
I guess talking about our future house got Finneas thinking. Later that night he had a good talk with me:
"Mom, in our new house, not the one we live in but the one we're going to build, I want the guys who are going to build the house to put in my room a garbage can. And a bathroom. And these pajamas I'm wearing. And food. And a kitchen so I can make things. And blankets and a bed. (smiling): Of course I'll need a bed! And a fireplace. And this (pointing to the computer). And on my computer I want only kid games. And when I'm 16, I will want a TV. And I'll want to eat in my room so I want napkins. And a table. And toys; I definitely want toys, too. And books on a bookshelf.
"And I want one more thing... let me think.... All the things that are in the kitchen today. But not an oven. I want to have a fireplace in my room but not an oven. Actually I want two fireplaces and I will share them.
"That's all. That's all I want.
"Wait, one more thing. I want ice cream in my room. And I want gum and gummy worms. And I will definitely need a light switch!
(After I had finished writing all this down): "Mom? Can you take the paper that you wrote down all the things that I want in my room and give it to the 2 guys who are going to build our house and give it to them tonight in the middle of the night? And this is what you say: 'The boy with short hair, his name is Finn, and he wants these things on this paper in his room.'"

How funny! I loved it! By the way if you ever think you would like to hire our boys for a month during the summer they would be interested.
