"We are the Hartmans, we live next door and I got Lego Batman for Christmas!"

No lie, word for word and then , Aslan added, " I was born in 99" Rewind a bit .... So today we are finally back home in our house in Stockton , in our sweet quiet little neighborhood, and I'm in the kitchen and I see a kid ride by on a bike,
"Kid " I say, " there's a kid" ( let me preface this by saying , in our old house the kids had two neighbor boys they were very close too and have been a bit lonely since the move. ( Although Selah hasn't stopped talking about when little Joei was here, and already planning their next play time)
Aslan was like "really?", and got excited then went back to lego batman. Having played a little too much lego batman for any human being in a 24 hour period
I said, " Aslan go outside and see if you can meet him"
"Ahh come on mom"
"Get a sweatshirt on, you need to go get fresh air anyway,"
So then I told Selah who got all excited and they went outside. So no sign of kid on bike, but I guess someone was down the street a bit on the scooter and since they can't leave the front yard they won't meet him today.
Soooooo, Then Selah comes in about 10 minutes later and says, " There's a sweet girl next door"
"Really?" I say , " Did you meet her?"
"No , she just offered me candy and I said "No thank you."
"You didn't introduce yourself? "
" No I'm shy.." Selah shy ?, yeah right, but I guess with some people she doesn't know she can be a bit shy. So she goes and gets Aslan, and says, " You can do it Aslan your my big brother , You'll know what to say" So Aslan puffs up his chest and looks all proud and says ok come on. And off they went to the front yard. I went back to what I was doing and about 5 minutes later they come back inside.
"How did it go?" the nosy mom asked
"It went great!" Aslan said
"So you met the girl?"
"Yeah she was standing behind the guy, "
"What ....." I say " Come again"
"Well when we knocked on the door ...."
"YOU DID WHAT?....."
" We knocked on the door she had gone inside..."
I went through both shock worry and oh my... all in one moment , but seeing them standing there in one safe piece I listened on..
"Yeah mom, we met her dad he was nice and she was being shy , hiding behind him, and I said We are the Hartmans we live next door, I got lego batman for Christmas and I was born in 99"
Now my mom and dad are visiting seeing our new house so they can attest to the fact that we were all cracking up , at this statement, it was so matter of fact and so funny! My dad even said "ok, whose blogging that one?"
Too funny, now I went over it with the kids that we do not leave the yard , we don't go to people's houses, mommy is extremley protective about these things. But that was too funny I don't care who you are! lol

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, and have a blessed new year!
