Project 366: Day 18

Today is my neighbor’s birthday. She has three kids – a boy and two girls. Our kids play together just about every day. Having kids next door is a fantastic thing. But honestly, having a neighbor like my neighbor is priceless. She is a wonderful friend.

This past weekend, while her son was playing with my boys, I looked outside the door and saw his shoes. The way he left his shoes made it look like a ghost was just outside our door.

Nah, that’s not a ghost. That’s an open door policy between friends and neighbors. Thanks for being a great friend and neighbor, Noreen. Happy birthday! Continue reading “Project 366: Day 18” →

Pre-kids, Rob and I went to Wal-Mart and bought two cool little gadgets that hooked to the television and allowed us to travel back in time. We traveled to time when arcades were filled with games like Pong, Dig-dug, Adventure, Rally X, Breakout, etc.

Sometimes, on the weekends, the boys will play these games. How funny it is to watch our boys play Pong and love it. (Long live the classics!) Continue reading “Project 366: Day 17” →

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. Schools, banks and other businesses are closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. and his work to end the discrimination and the segregation of black men and women.

Thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. (and others), the boys don’t look at their classmates as a color. Nor do the boys exclude others based on race, religion or national origin. And, thanks to the civil rights movement, the boys have a rainbow of friends in their classrooms.

Yes, the lunch boxes and backpacks are put away for the day, and the boys are looking forward to a day of play. Still, we’ll stop and remember why we have this ‘day of play’. Continue reading “Project 366: Day 16” →
