Our street is hosting the first neighborhood block party for our newly developed neighborhood. Saturday is the day, pending a cooperative weather situation (which is currently in question). We're not sure how it's going to be, who will come, how many will come, what the general atmosphere will be and if it will in general be a success or a flop.
We've made it very unstructured. Everyone brings their own chairs and beverages and each street is assigned a section of food such as appetizers, side dishes, desserts or entrees. Other than that, it's going to be a general time for people to be social.
Tonight we had another one of those impromptu street block parties. They happen randomly, but regularly as our street has both children that like to play together and parents that like to socialize. We were out for almost four hours in the front yard having a good time and watching the children run up and down the street playing with each other and each others toys.
I really hope Saturday will be a success; if the remainder of the neighborhood is anything like our street, it should be an easy and fun time for all. I'll have to let my imaginary readers know (and any actual real readers out there too.)
The Big Boy Update: "I'm not a bad guy. I just a girl." That was my son's statement when he came down to breakfast this morning.
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: "Yummy yummy yummy." This is a regular statement she makes when she is presented with food she likes. It is also accompanied with a smile.
