That's how I roll

I know that my neighbors think my children are completely wild and unsupervised.  I'll allow that it may be half true.  My lovely friend and neighbor across the street will not let her children play out of their yard, and it must make her crazy to be enforcing that with her children while my brood is racing off in all directions.  For anyone who thinks I am unaware of what my children are doing outside in the front, I'll have you know, I AM watching them.  Check this out:

The computer is strategically located right here, in front of this window.  That means I can sit here, doing my thing, AND I can look outside and see that yes indeed, Delaney is, in fact, riding her Big Wheel (Dan calls it a Hot Cycle) down the middle of the street, wearing nothing but her crocs and a swimsuit. 

Yep, here's the view from inside the house.  See, I can look out and check on my minions, no problem.  And, lest you worry that Delaney was completely on her own, worry no more!  Joshua and his friend were riding escort on their scooters with her as she raced down the road.  We don't have a very busy street, by the way.  We get very little traffic, and most of it knows to slow and look for kids. Predominantly, my kids.

Here's my swimsuit-clad darling. She took off the crocs and managed to skin her toes, since she scoots with her feet, rather than peddling with the pedals.

And yes, I can watch most of my children all at the same time.  We have a couple kids in the area and I think most of them were out this day, having a very good time.  However, Delaney was the only one in a swim suit!

our computer faces our frount lawn also it's a great way to keep an eye on the kids. Except my wild kids are the only ones on the neighborhood so the run the place, and neighbors actually really enjoy them. By-the-way your lawn is beautiful.

I can't see my kids from any location, not from my kitchen most difenatley not from my computer. My backyard is the same. Nice huh! but I don't let my kids in front because I can't see them, and plus we have a huge backyard no reason to go in front.
