Hang Out House

I have always wanted our house the be the hang out house for the kids when they get older. Well that wish is coming true a few years early. Several kids have moved into the neighborhood, since we spend so much time outside and apparently have the "best" toys, all the kids seems to hang around here. It drives Chad crazy because they don't have the best respect for our things, but to me, they are just kids having fun. Of course, Marlee and Cooper love having the older kids to play with.  I don't mind at all because I always know what the kids are up to. The only negative is the parents seem to take advantage of the free baby-sitting. LOL

I snapped a few pictures of the kids playing in the sprinkler this afternoon. Marlee was a little hesitant about running through the sprinkler, so the twins took her by the hand and ran with her. I'm so glad she finally has some girls to play with. Everyone was sad when we had to come inside. I think several of them would live with us if we would let them. :)
