Meeting the neighbors

Ok, so it was not the best option to let the kids play out in our driveway while I tried to get dinner started, but so far all they do is ride the big wheel on the sidewalk in front of the house. Little did I know that they have found girlfriends that live across the street and down two houses. We have not met these people and would not know them if we ran right into them. So tonight they come in for dinner and announce that they were down at the "blow up" house ringing the doorbell (they have halloween blow-ups in their front yard). Number one issue, the house is across the street so they violated the number one rule of playing outside. Number two, we don't even know these people!!! I guess the offender was Nathan as Andrew claims that he stayed on our side of the street and watched Nathan all the while trying to figure out what to do with him. (Hmmmm, actually I believe him, that is something he would do).

So I figure the adult thing to do is to take the kids to apologize....so we get up from dinner and march across the street. They are actually very nice people with 3 kids, a girl in kindergarden at Andrew's school, a girl in Pre-K and a baby boy 6 months old. I guess this was one way to get to know the neighbors. The middle girl will be attending the VPK program with Nathan in January so we will be seeing more of them.
