Happy Hour Knock out

 These kids can play knock out til the basketball wears out.  I love seeing them find eachother in the hood - (look for the bikes).  Its old school neighborhood living for SURE.  The best place to sit and enjoy a happy hour.

Here's where it starts and the view while I am enjoying happy hour with Chris.

Here's when they relocated to our neighbor's hoop (their kids are gown and left the nest however they LOVE when the kids come to the hoop - and the hoop reaches the lowest depths which makes it a crowd pleaser)

And yes, Knock out can progress through the evening.  It feels like these days can go on forever, but baseball season is right around the corner.  We are enjoying this for now.

Ted Lasso - MUST SEE

 This show was SO GOOD - well written, Whitty, fast, smart and endearing all in one.  WE VOW to watch it again and again.

Easter Glow in the dark Egg hunt

Its at Melanies house!!  Yippee!  For years we hosted it and honestly got quite tired of our wide open back yard.  Mel has a great yard with a stream, plenty of trees, plenty of hiding places. and she finally said yes - With the kids older maybe the glow in the dar twist is the right direction 
I would call this a success
A little chilly but well attended.  Parents stuffed, older kids 'hid' younger kids scavenged
SOme of the perks - glowing bag!
Wish I could accurately represent the fabulous evening.  This is the best I could do.  They had to go back in search of the golden egg.

 

Dust Baths

I try to capture how relaxing and refreshing these chickens can make a dust bath look - Nothing like a warm day and some dust.... or dirt to feel like a new bird!

Life in April

A cook book that is standing the test of time! #stillafavorite

A birthday party that ALMOST feels normal.  Happy Birthday Vinny - love seeing all these 14 year olds in one place.  If the masks were gone we might actually see some facial hair!  Yikes!

Signs that its gonna be a great summer

 

Vincent's Party and a reminder its still COVID out there.

Vinny's birthday and they are all headed to the theatre to watch Kong vs. Godzilla.  A reminder its still COVID out there and these kids don't mind wearing masks.  
Also a reminder these boys are 8th graders and growing up!!  What is happening?!?!
