The best kind of work

We have the BEST neighbors EVER! They are perfect. Last Friday night the girls went and watched a movie over there. Yesterday after seeing Warren emptying his pool the girls went to see what he was doing. Then he put them to work. :) This is the best kind of work. He said all these kids saved him at least 2 hours.
The lining had a leak and to replace it he had to drain his pool. To get the little that was left all the kids had a broom and swept the water over to the pump to help it out. He even let Chancho help out. What a fun way to spend a afternoon. He was thanking us for helping, but really it was me thanking him for keeping my kids from boredom.

And someday your kids will thank him and you for the life lessons -- the joy of neighborliness, satisfaction of a job well done, how time passes more quickly when you're working together, etc., etc.

It's always more fun to do work for someone be sides mom or dad. I remember you were the same way. And when I was young it was more fun to do my friends dishes than than our own.
