New kids in the neighborhood (and a note to Blienbaby)

There were four or five neighborhood kids at the house when I got home yesterday afternoon after work.  All the kids were younger than Kelly and Christian, but everyone seemed to be having a great time.  Kelly was sitting on the ground in front of the garage teaching all the little girls how to knit and Christian was doing something like watch ants are do an experiment with dirt out in the yard.  They seemed like very nice kids.  After about a half an hour, I saw Kelly talking to a couple of girls that were her age or a little older.  When she came in an told me about it later, she had asked them what sport they were “into”.  They told her cheer leading.  I trying to remember whether that was considered a sport when I was in school back in the dark ages.  I do not think so, but I am honestly not sure.  After they left, one of the littler girls told Kelly, that one of girls had been her babysitter, but her mom did not like to use her anymore because all she did the entire time she was babysitting was talk to her friends on the telephone.  Maybe Kelly can start making the big bucks again as the neighborhood babysitter!  It is great that Christian and Kelly both are starting to get integrated into the neighborhood.  Just like always, they will meet all of the kids, and know what is going on in long before Lorena and I.

Special note to Blienbaby:  The contest is back on!  I am at 216!!!  I will dig out the graph.  Where are you right now?  Is the first to lose fifty from where we are now good for you or are do you want to continue with the old contest?
