I’ll say goodbye to love.

Now from that title, you’re expecting some more heavy-duty stuff, right? HA! SUCKAS! No. Saturday was the official opening of the Stepford pool. During this annual event, I got a little nostalgic about Stepford. Wait…can I be nostalgic if we’re still here? Crap. I dunno.

I’m wondering if you guys do this thing when you’re moving where you think, “Man. I could have had so many friends here. I could have had the most rocking social life EVAR!!” because you forget that there was a reason you didn’t socialize with that many of your neighbors because you’re all caught up in being a shade maudlin about moving away, but later you remember that you were a hermit because you mostly didn’t really like that many people in the neighborhood after all. Holy run-on, ADD-driven sentence, Batman.

Yeah, so. Cute pictures, mindless fun. Comin’ right up…

I think Daddy might have overdone the fwimsoup here.

Well, except when he’s rescuing Tricia from evil Daddy.

Lenna and her friends hang out looking for treasure. I don’t ever let them know that the only treasure they’re gonna find in the baby pool is stuff they really do not want. I figure that surprise is one life will teach them.

And now you know why Matt leaves the house and Guitar Hero II for these parties.

The fwimsoup was getting in the way of Tricia getting her nosh on. The fwimsoup had to go.

    That looks like a blast, but yep, there’s a reason that you didn’t associate with the neighbors. The same reason that I don’t. Don’t need ‘em, don’t like ‘em, just lovin’ myself. ;)

    d - That’s one thing I’m way going to miss about Stepford - the pool being like a block away. LOL.

    Kendra - Exactly. :grin:

    Syke! Cute pictures. I’m fortunate to have a few great neighbors. It makes it feel more like a neighborhood than just our house.

    Melanie - We have a few friends in the neighborhood, and I’ll miss them a lot. But given the reactions when we said we were moving away, we could have had more. I’m just a hermit. :grin:

    ZOMG that swimvest thing is too cute. Lenna is giving you the WTF WITH TEH PHOTOS MOMMAY! Also, Matt totally looks like he’s doing the Sims “I’m so hot.” walk.

    Missy - The swimvest? Yeah, she never got in above her waist. :ded: Also, it looks like that because Matt inherited the Peterson body type - back with a crack, yo.

    D’awwww. Too much cuteness. And fun in the sun. ::scowl:: Our pool is open, but, well. 55 degrees is too cold for my you know what to be in the pool.

    Noel - If it helps, it’s been unseasonably cool here. Only like in the 80s. :nod:

    MoFM - Since we’re going to be suuuuuper-busy this week, count on lots of mindless stuff from me. I mean, more than usual.

    Deb - See my comment to MoFM. :grin:
