Life is fun.

Life is fun.. not just funny but fun. When you take time to look at life and people around you, you tend to laugh. My husband and I were peeping toms on our neighbors the Parker's. They were just talking out in the street but it was fun watching their gestures and facial reactions. I love where I live. My neighborhood is like a free flowing circus. Kids engaged in different activities, right now I see two boys playing basketball, several boys heely-ing and skateboarding, dad of cute girl throwing a softball with said girl, neighbors intermixing. It is amazing! Most of the time if I am dressed for public, my neighbors comment on how nice I look and I laugh to myself because they usually see me dressed in home clothes and slippers. My hair is usually in a lame pony and no make up. I don't care, they love me anyways. We have a casual standing dinner night, Taco Tuesday. Anyone is invited and we all divvy up the mixing. It is usually at our house because we are pretty casual. We usually pop over to Parker's for a tivoed show like AI or Lost. The Bettes' have movies on call. I mean we just ebb and flow so lovely. 9 or 10 at night the phone will ring with a late night offer of something fun. The kids in the summer spend the night in rotating shifts. We do head counts as we go to bed to know who we have. Moonlight walks at midnights in summer with kids in tow. We still have the occasional child meltdown and mediation is required but what would you expect with kids who spend so much time together they are more like family. Not really bragging just taking time to appreciate the blessings God has given us. That is what I am appreciating today in the here and now. May you look around and realize the fun in your life and how you are blessed.
