The kids were hard at play for a couple of hours this evening with the little girl next door. They were pulling acorns out of the tree and then throwing them over the fence. They were happy. They were playing. NOONE was complaining. So, the tree got taken advantage of for a little peace for me! :)
Sorry tree.
On another note, Bryce gave the little girl some flowers this evening, and they are getting along VERY well. This is why I did not want the kids making a bunch of friends this summer - now they have to move away from their friend again.
They also spent a lot of time asking about the oldest son, that is autistic. Tomorrow we will have to have a talk about what autism is. They were not at all rude and the mother tried to explain things to them, but it is a difficult thing to explain to kids and they were not trying to pay too close attention. They kept asking why he doesn't talk. Caleb several times went and gave him some toys - which he took and played with. He went up to the mother and asked if he wanted to go play. She explained that he usually prefers to play by himself, but if he wanted to play he would go out and play with them - which he did for a little bit. The boys were very polite about their curiosity - which made me very proud of them!
