Couldn't say it better myself!

Tonight right before bed Emma announced that she had something really important to write.  Who could say no to writing about something important??   After a quick moment at the table she brought me this pink paper with the letters FAKS and said "Read it".  Hmmmmm, this is always a touchy area, we're encouraging Emma to "write like a 5 year old, it doesn't have to be spelled like a grown up" but when she wants us to read her writing it poses a bit of a problem.  I started to sound it out and she said "Fix mom, it says fix".   I asked her what needs fixing, thinking it was one of her poor abused dolls.  She responded "the hole, I want them to fix the hole on the lot and make it a house".  Oh Emma, me too!  

A quick update-

-after some back and forth with MSD this week things are looking up.  They are in the process (UGHHH) of issuing a permit.  

-The permit delay with MSD  has delayed the plumbing that needs to be done on the lot before our builder wants to begin the foundation.  However our builder told us the plumber is going to start on November 3rd (only 2 months after the date we originally hoped to start).
