Kids and Dogs

Have I mentioned that we have new neighbors? Neighbors with twin six year old daughters. Sarah and Kimmy. They have found us and the dogs, and we see them almost every day. They were over bright and early today and brought along their friend, Jacob. I pulled up the stools to the breakfast bar and they all sat coloring and I thought this would make a good picture.

I love the fact that the neighborhood kids all feel comfortable coming here. The only thing is I need to buy some more art supplies. Crayons, coloring books and some activity books. I want to have things to keep the younger ones busy. Perhaps some reading books as well.

Hubby and I were standing in the kitchen after the kids left today and he looked over at me and said, “You are really a kid magnet”.

I guess he is right. I love the fact that they come, and I know that here they are safe.

My back is better, and I am finally able to sleep at night. Yay!!! I was starting to think that something drastic would need to be done, but it looks like resting it is doing the trick.

  1. We are an old neighborhood…it sure sounds lovely to have young visitors, lol!
    Good to hear your back feels better, have a great Monday!

  2. My boys will be with you as soon as I get the plane tickets sorted out for them! (Dogs and crayons – add in some Lego and they’ll be petitioning to be adopted!)

  3. Wonderful smiles! I just love that toothless smile… Kids really are the cutest!

    …and you’re really the kindest. Kids need to meet other nice grown ups than their parents too.

    And I really hope that Greta will be in heat soooooon!
