the cool house........

apparently we've got the "cool house"....everyday all the neighborhood kids come by to see if xavier can play. they hang out in the backyard sit in the hot tub, have squirt gun battles, run with the dogs, and eat me out of house and home! it's been fun for him to have kids over everyday, it makes me think of when i was a kid and wished we had this kind of neighborhood with lots of kids but we lived where there weren't any. we would go to my aunt's house across burnside (yes, theo and i would cross that street everyday, back when there was no traffic light and was almost like frogger trying to run across the road with out getting hit by a car) and play with all the kids over there. kick the can, hide and go seek, we would play fetch with the neighborhood dog Ace, who was ALWAYS down for the ball to be thrown for him. our dogs get lots of love here. all the kids love to run with them, poor cassius forgets that he's an old man and out does himself and injures his leg. currently he's passed out on the floor recovering from last night's run with the kids.
