I'm not sure how, continually, we've managed to hit the jackpot when it comes to good neighbors.
Tonight, with M and J and their boys, we made one of those nights that the kids will always remember.
Flashlights in hand, headlamps illuminated, we set off into the night. Theo, A, and S on their big wheels (S, with a flashlight taped to his handlebars...), and Emmett in his stroller, kicking his legs and flapping his arms faster than the older boys could pedal.
We headed directly to our park, fully knowing that the unlit path would be pitch-dark, to play. Boy, did we ever.
On the way home, Theo stopped and kissed a fire hydrant. (Very gross, I know...)
boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years. ~ james thurber

This really makes me miss you guys....We just don't have a Dave and Emily and boys over here. It sounds like such fun.
The kiss on the fire hydrant is a sure sign that they were having a blast. I like the new layout! Very artistic!
