This past Friday was the start of high school football season in central Ohio. More importantly, it was gorgeous weather, the first weekend of school had been successfully navigated, and pretty much the entire ‘hood was in town.

Two Fridays ago, we wound up with an afternoon of Cooperating Kids in our basement — Alana and Carson from our house, Alex from across the cul de sac, and Delaney from down the street. The cooperative play lasted for hours and hours and on into the night, so Julie (who had been up until […]
