Crack

And...now we can add "accidentally throwing a baseball over the backyard fence and shattering the neighbor's bedroom window" to our long list of Little Boy Shenanigans.

The sound of glass shattering outside is NOT what you want to hear while you are making dinner.  I was scared to look!  I really didn't want it to be a window!    

The culprit this time was Riley who immediately burst into tears because he was convinced he would have to somehow pay for a new window with his own money.   

Instead, he and Steve went next door together to tell our neighbor about the window.  (He will also be writing them an apology letter and doing some extra chores around the house to work off his "debt.")

Thankfully, our neighbor was more than gracious. 

Never a dull moment around here.

I love this. Not that the window broke, but that you taught him how to handle it when we break things in life! Great parents. I love reading your blog and hearing your updates!!
