Ooohh La La

Between the hours of 4 pm and 8 pm the kids next door play in the backyard, usually on their trampoline. They are not quiet children and the playing is almost always interrupted with crying followed by a loud "M-O-M!" Well, today I could hear that they have apparently learned a new phrase. "ooohh la la!" was the saying of choice this evening. The best part of it was not that they said it 1,000 times per 5 minutes, but that they ALWAYS used it out of context. "I can jump higher than you!...oohh la la!", "I had crackers for snack...ooohh la la!",and my personal favorite, "why aren't you wearing green?...ooohh la la!"

That's so funny Kersey. I wish I had you for a neighbor. Our back neighbor has threatened us with the police...and all we do is play out back. Okay, we fight too...but we're in bed by 8:30 and i really didn't think we were THAT bad...oh well.

my heck! I wish I was your neighbor too. And if I couldn't be, I wish that I could meet your current back neighbor and give them a little what for!

i can't even imagine what goes through our neighbors minds when we are outside! lately jack has been yelling "whoa tude" (tude=dude) while he blows bubbles or runs after butterflies. by the way, the word verification for this post is "ionoment"...weird
