Friends in the Neighborhood

There is a lot of movement in our neighborhood.  House prices in the near vicinity are soaring so many long time owners are selling and those that can't afford to buy here (and honestly - who can?) are moving here to get into the local schools.  Good luck with that last one - ha - we live practically on top of Honeywell Primary and can't get in!

Anywho - some of our current Parkgate school friends were being forced out of their current house because the owner wanted to sell.  On the upside, they are now leasing a house that is almost directly behind our garden!  The kids (and the adults) are pretty stoked to have such good friends literally around the corner.

So -- while the movers were moving boxes and furniture from one house to the other, I had an entire house full of kids!  Wren and her friend Marc along with Atticus and his friend Chloe -- we painted, we colored, we lunched, we blew bubbles, we had a tea party, built legos, jumped on the trampoline, kicked the ball in the garden, watched a movie... it was exhausting, but good fun.

Should either of the families have to relocate to another country -- the kids are going to be crushed!!
