The Best Seat in the House

Today they were doing some repair work on some pipes under our street.  They had to dig a hole right in front of our house.  Lizzie was very fascinated with the big trucks, as you will see in these photos.

First, she stood and stared:

Then she tried to get comfortable:

Then, she went the extra mile to ensure comfort:

Then, she decided her friends should watch too:

And finally, she tried a different angle:

All in all she was pretty entertained by the construction for about 45 minutes.  At one point she called back to me, as she was frantically waving, "They say hi to Lizzie!" because the operator of the bulldozer was waving to her.

When one of the construction workers came to tell us they'd be turning off our water for about an hour he asked Lizzie if she wanted to help them.  She nodded her head, then turned to me and said, "Shoes."  Much to her disappointment I did not let her go out.
