Our yard is now the town park, I think. The last few nights when we get home from work, there have been at least 10 kids playing in our big yard. It's crazy. I really don't mind, as long as they are respectful of us and don't leave trash, etc. For now, it's going well. :)
Ever since Eric got to know some of the boys from town, this one kid has a radar that senses the minute we get home. Every day within 15 minutes of us arriving home, he's outside on his bike wanting to hang with Eric. I don't mind much, but it would be ok if it didn't happen every night. Last night they were yelling at our open windows for Eric to come out and play. :) We eat outside on our porch frequently, and our neighbor girl has decided she can just come on the porch when we're out there. :) She's a cutie, but I felt a little like a fish in an aquarium with all the kids watching us eat.
I'm amazed at how kids behave these days. Eric and I are pretty sure that someone climbed his parents' fence to get into the pool area. The beach ball they have was outside the fence, and none of us know how it got there. I think Max and Karen are a little frustrated that when they allow the kids to use their yard for basketball, they suddenly think it's a free-for-all. Countless bottles and balls and shirts are just left in the driveway. One little girl was walking around town last night and stopped at their house and asked to use the rest room. She left quite a stinker! I don't think I could have ever done that as a kid!
