Last night we went to the park with some neighbors and played kickball while the kids put on their own version of Gone with the Wind. It was long and full of drama.
Overall we had a good time with a little bit of blood, lots of tears, and the kids learning the rules of baseball/kickball. The most interesting part was that we didn't even have to teach them about arguing with the ump, they had that part figured out all on their own. Lowlights of the night: Christian fell down the bleachers and cut his mouth, Ashley ran to each base and sat down complaining she didn't know how to play, and Maddie slipped in a mud puddle covering one shoe and sock in mud and cried all the way home. And the Highlights: Christian is just super-cute doing anything, Ashley got so excited she ran right past another runner to get to home-plate, and Maddie was flippin' awesome at kickball.
Despite the drama, it's definitely something we'll do again.

Sounds like the superfun days of family life that they'll remember (and you'll actually remember fondly - I promise!).
Hey - I am just waiting for the picture of your lawn...I can't wait to see what Brenda and Stacey come up with.
