Neighborhood Play

Now that the weather has cooled a bit, we've been outside in the late afternoon enjoying the fresh air and our neighborhood friends.

Patrick and Finnegan play soccer...

and Sullivan proves that he can hang with the big guys.

While Johanna and I were outside with the kids, Melissa came over with Athena and Sebastian. We loved every minute of it!  Patrick and Finnegan were so sweet, trying to make the babes laugh and bringing toys out for them to play with.  We sure do love seeing the twin babies - and can't wait for another set to arrive (Johanna is due any day now!)

 And, what were Liliana and Sullivan up to while we were all gushing over the babies??

TROUBLE!

 There is something about chalk, it makes kids of all ages happy!

Finnegan and Patrick have decorated our entire driveway and most of our sidewalk with drawings...

and writings.

 (Finnegan making a stop sign and a car to go with it - great job!)

We are really enjoying this time of the day, but you know it's time to call it quits when all the kids are covered in chalk and Johanna is chasing 2 toddlers who are trying to escape our yard!
