You guys all know our neighbors by now and you’ve heard me say too many times to count how blessed we are to live across the street from them. This is just another one of the random reasons we love them so much.
It was just before dinner and we were going to eat a bit later than usual so Chris could actually sit down at the table with us – during soccer we can count on one hand the nights we eat together as a family. Dinner was done and the kids were restless so I sent them to play outside while I got some work done. A little while later my neighbor comes to the door and tells me I might want to grab my camera and go look at what the kids are doing. So of course I follow him outside.
Outside she’s set up a little obstacle course for the kids on their roller blades.
She’s the judge.
They are graded on skill…
and FLAIR!
I can’t remember why Parker was upset but this pouty photo of her makes me smile!
As the scores got better the dramatics (trying to improve their “flair” score) grew.
Oh the drama these kids have! They are actually all in my basement right now putting on a play they wrote as I type this!
Parker desperately wants to ride horses for a living but that kid could be a comedian! She makes me laugh!
They had a BLAST. We all did. I was laughing so hard at their antics. And full of joy that we have friends like these so close. Chris got home and got to see them too which was a real treat!
Dinner had been warming on the stove and ended up a bit over done but it was SO worth this fun evening with our neighbors!
