National Night Out

It's that time of the year again! We had our annual National Night Out party in our neighborhood. We had a bounce house, a chili cook off, hot dogs, a kids table with activities, and the ambulance and police motorcycle visited. Oh, and McGruff the Crime Dog! Very exciting.

The police visit all the parties in the city and name a winner for the best party, and our neighborhood won for the second year in a row. That doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but it's a big deal when you want to live somewhere where kids play outdoors in the afternoon and neighbors know each other. I wave at neighbors I know at least 3X a day, and we love that.

The police in Coppell only drive suburbans and BMW motorcycles. Lah-ti-dah. Waste-of-tax-money.

Poison Ivy

A couple of weeks ago, Henry helped Todd work on trimming the bushes. A few days later, we started having these bumps pop up all over. It took about 24 hours to really start looking like poison ivy, but finally I figured it out. Of course it was 2pm on a Friday when it dawned on me. Thank goodness we were able to get in that day and get some steroids and creams and all that good stuff.

He had it on his forehead, arms, and back.

Folding Clothes

The neighbors came to help Leo fold towels so he could come outside faster.
