Neighborhood House

I have always said I would love for our house to be the house where the kids like to hang out.  It sounds good in practice.  However, I must confess, that there are days when I get home from school, and I just don't feel like having three extra boys running, karate kicking, and playing in my house.  And as embarrassed as I am to admit this, more days than not, I would rather we not have extra bodies invading our home while I am trying to make dinner.

With that said, right at this moment, there are 5 boys playing basketball in our house.  They are playing so well together and having so much fun, that I feel very guilty that I sometimes say no to the extra company.  Hmm. . . now that I think about it - five boys + one nerf basketball + one hoop,  = chaos!  I think I had better go nominate myself referee!

I am really going to work on putting myself aside more often and letting this become what I always wanted - the neighborhood house.
