Chalkin'

The kids were playing, so I thought, in Bubba's blue car tonight.  The unseasonable weather meant that I had the doors open, listening to their imaginative chatter in the garage.  I suddenly noticed that the voices were fainter and went out to investigate.  Best $2.50 spent this weekend. :)

They called it their "Chalk Party" and wanted help spelling party.  We sounded it out, and they wrote all the letters they heard.  Here's Ben's:

They brainstormed and drew all the people they'd need to invite.  Sammy, Mrs. Buist, Jeff, Riley, and every cat and dog they could think of made the cut.

  

We had all the ingredients for a great party drawn in the road-- balloons, music, friends, dancing dogs, and dirty hands to rub all over our clothes.
