Dallin started a game with the kids where they sit on the front steps and wave to all the cars that pass and see how many will wave back. Believe it or not, not too many people wave back. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since our steps are about 5 feet above street level and there is a good hill in the road just past our house. However, the kids get very excited when someone does wave or honk. Especially Talmage. I have to constantly keep checking for him when I send them out in the backyard to play. He'll run down the side of the house and usually gets in one wave and a "Hiii" before I can catch him. The thought of him being out there by himself sets off all of my motherly insticts and makes my hair stand on end, muscles tighten up, and a few other feelings that only come to a mother when her child's life is in any way threatened. Yeah, I'm not so thrilled that they have been taught to play on top of a big stone wall next to a busy street but as long as they are supervised I guess I will survive.

Cute! I just wished that we lived in a friendlier world! Is it moments like these that make you sad to move, or are you past ready to get out of there, good memories and all? :D
I'm afraid to say that I'm not at all surprised that not many people wave back. Chris and I always thought that most people in PA weren't particularly friendly.
Oh my word, Heather. That rainbow cake is AMAZING! LOVE IT! We're having a birthday party for Breanna next weekend and I am DEFinately going to try to make that! She will go nuts. Thanks for the link!
