Saturday Night in the 'hood
I know I'm constantly bragging about my awesome neighbors, but here we go again. The other day we were chatting around the back yards, and somehow the idea of a barbecue came up. I think we were talking about homebrews and bloody marys and that led into getting together for a meal.
The plan was for Megan's backyard if it was sunny, Laura's house if it was rainy. It's rainy.
Gene across the street one way makes a killer bloody mary. There he is assembling them for the grownups. They are so smooth and so tasty, they slide down dangerously fast.
The kids tore into the den and "discovered" all the toys. Here's Joe admiring Radley's collection of Ugly Dolls.
Our hostess, Laura, looking super-cute with her signature piggy tails and her yummay drink.
Here's the scene as we pass the food. I brought hamburgers, sweet potato fries, sauteed onions, and Joe's homebrew beers. Davin and Laura had the buns, the lettuce, other fixin's, and most importantly the place. Megan brought amazing ratatoullie (or however you spell that awesome grilled-vegetable-medley dish). She also brought some really good wasabi mayonnaise and this amazing chocolate cake.
Sophie and Radley had a little fight over who got to stick their hand in the hole in the high char tray. It was funny and cute.
They have a fun staircase with steps on either side of the house going up to the landing. So tempting for the 1-2 set.
The meal was so good. The company was so good. The bloody mary was so good I had a second one. And then we had dessert. The cake was from Schwan's, very decadent. I had to share mine with Sophie, and couldn't shovel it into her little mouth fast enough for her taste.
And when it was time to go home, we just walked across the street. Thanks, neighbors!

It sounds like you really had fun. Sometimes it is those unplanned spur of the moment happenings that are the most fun!!
Sounds like so much fun! Wish my neighborhood would do something like this.
