Who needs sleep...?

Apparently not me...

I worked last night from 7p-7a, and will be doing that all weekend. So therefore I was supposed to sleep most of Saturday, but it is all coming back to me, on how well I don't sleep during the day. Ed and Rowan were gone most of the morning, so the house was quiet. But I managed to wake up at 2pm. Laid there for almost an hour trying to force myself to go back to sleep, but it didn't happen, so I decided to get up.

When I got up, Ed, Rowan and Gizmo were out in the backyard with the pool and beach ball sprinkler! So I went out to join them. This was our first time being in our actual yard! The grass is coming along, but still needs work, hopefully by the end of the summer it will be well on it's way! Ed even mowed it for the first time on Friday night! So anyway, being that it was our first time in our backyard, we finally met the neighbors behind us. One family is actually moving to Atlanta at the end of the week, so we won't get to know them at all. But the other family isn't going anywhere. Oh yeah, the people were moving into the house next to us this weekend too, so we met them as well!

So Rowan was invited to play on the swingset of the family behind us anytime. Apparently the families behind us have bonfires in the street almost every friday and saturday night, and they like to drink beer, so they asked what our drinks of choice are, so they could have it available. The family behind us that isn't moving has 5 year old twin girls, and are expecting in February. And they have a dog named Bucky, who is 4 or 5 months old. Gizmo had a blast running with him! The family next to us has a 2 year old boy. The family that is moving has a 6 year old boy, and a 3 year old boy. The 3 year old (Ethan) is in the picture with Rowan below, he really liked playing with her.

Gizmo had so much fun running, and got so tired and hot, that he decided to take a dip in Rowan's pool. He has never done this for us before. I know he has been in a pool at Karen's house before, but has never gotten in Rowan's. And as you can see, she wasn't a fan. She kept telling him to get out! Luckily we were outside long enough for him to dry off!

The visiting with the neighbors started with the men, then all the ladies and children joined us as well. So we were outside talking with them from like 3-5pm, then had to head in to shower and eat and go to work.

Oh...and on a side note, turns out the neighbors came and knocked on the door at 930pm to invite Ed out to the bonfire. He was out with the neighbors until 2am!
