The Birthday Party and Hit and Run

The two big events this past weekend.
Let's start with:
The Birthday Party.
Our Naughty neighbor had her birthday party Saturday.
The whole neighborhood showed up, YAY!
There was screaming, crying, whining, balloons, presents, fits, gift bags full of noisy toys, cake, ice cream, no food, no air conditioning, pit bulls and black labs. What a combo!

After reading the last blog I'm sure you can imagine how it went!

Everyone showed up at about 3:30 and the kids started running wild. The twins came with their dogs! The Surly 6 year old came, without her parents. The Friendly five year old was there and in rare form. There was pushing, hitting, crying, laughing, running and tattle telling. There was another mother there with her two children, but she (like I) kept checking in on the children and tried to keep them all in line. We were the only ones who seemed at all concerned about the children.

3:45 cake and ice cream....served then thrown all over the floor
*They just had new carpet installed a month ago*
4:00 wrapping paper flies and the Surly six year old fights with the Naughty neighbor over the new toys
4:15 I've got a migraine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:30 The pit bulls and black labs start fighting
5:00 I begin to think about all the blogging I've got to do...
5:15 Quick excuse and escape... to the grocery store

I was sooo happy to leave I don't think that party could have been more disastrous!

...Later that evening, hubby and I get the girls down for bed and sit on the front porch to wind down. We see a silver explorer driving up and down the road. We watched this SUV wander 3 different streets for about 20 minutes. I get up and wait for them to pass my house again. I was going to ask them if I can help them find something. I watch them pass my house... BAM! A parked car was hit and pushed into my neighbors yard! The driver of the SUV drives down the street and pulls into a driveway. BAM... a mailbox down the street is taken out as the driver backs out. CRUUUNCH! They kept backing over it! They squeal tires and take flight! I ran to the end of my yard and got the tag number. I called the cops and gave them a description. I was laughing the whole time. The lady in dispatch probably thought I was crazy! She kept asking what was so funny. All I could tell her is that the people in the SUV looked right at me and still took off!

Seriously; if you hit something an know that someone seen you, why would you leave?

Nice and eventful weekend, huh?
