Yesterday the girl that babysits Isaac (our nextdoor neighbor), came and asked me if her friends could play with a ball of Isaac's. It's one of those huge red ones, and they kids were playing kickball with it. When I went to put it away last night, I could tell it was a little smaller than before. I was a little ticked, but then I remembered the ball only cost me $2.50. I thought, well, that ball didn't even get the kids $2.50 worth of fun! (instead of being mad that the kids may have broken it)

Then the kids came over and were playing with it again tonight....and I had to smile. Now, if this had happened last summer I may have gone out there and took the ball away. But this yr, with the Lord in my life full time, I don't care near as much about the little things like this! I kinda wanted to watch them play but I thought they might think I was watching the ball and not them, so I snuck in a couple peeks but didn't stare, lol.

Then I got to thinking that I might go buy another ball for them, since this one seems to be deflating. I don't even care that Isaac gets to play with it, as long as when he wants to play they let him. He really wasn't as interested in the ball as I thought he would be. I always wanted to be the person the neighborhood kids came over to see...you know, the one person they come to for advice and all that. Maybe I can be the ball lady. Hey, maybe I will buy a huge toybox and fill it with balls for the kids. There ya go.

Anyways I just wanted to let you all know, that the neighborhood kids like to play kickball with Isaac's big red ball. LOL!
