Our neighborhood is a tight knit group of friends. And so when Sophie girl, the blond in the light blue dress, had her birthday she invited the other little neighborhood girls. They played princess games and had a blast. Meanwhile her dad was downstairs distracting the brothers and neighborhood boys. There are a lot of little kids in our neighborhood.
Eventually all the boys and girls ended up playing together on the slip n' slide and the kiddie pool. The party ended, but as the kids continued to play nicely we all hung about chatting as the men came home from work and joined us.
The chatting led to dinner time and hesitant to end the fun we all ordered pizza, stromboli and sandwiches which we ate in the back yard. Eventually we started the outdoor firepit and made smores. John, starting the fire, had a guitar his wife got him when he wanted to learn. It had never been played let alone tuned. We got that baby out and we played it doing campfire singalong songs as best as I could pick them out. Which was not good, but we laughed still.
And at a little before 11pm when all the kids were spent, the adults too, I mean we girls had been up the night before doing the Eclipse movie thing, we divided up still laughing as we entered back into real life bedtimes and Saturday work.
