EATING & PLAYING & TALKING

There is a woman who walked by our house a gazillion times each week when we moved here. She walked with her son. My boys and I would watch her. After a while it became obvious that she was pregnant. She had a girl. Then it became obvious that I was pregnant. I had a girl.

One day I saw this woman at the park. I introduced myself and told her I felt like I knew her because I saw her almost every day of my life. We started chatting. The boys we initially had all get along. The girls we were obviously pregnant with get along. The men find stuff to chat about. The woman and I find stuff to chat about. Gotta love fun neighbors!

A couple weekends we walked over to their house and did three of my favorite things.

Eating - salmon, chicken, tortellini pesto salad, Leslie's salad, gigantic cheese puffs (major score with the kids!), kettle chips, ice cream, and apple brownies

Playing - Apples to Apples Jr.

Talking - guy stuff, girl stuff, and kid stuff

For the sake of keeping the game fun for everyone, we paired up into teams for the game. Here's a look at the competition.
