He knows how to pick 'em

I have to give Chase credit, where credit is due...and I hope he keeps his top-shelf taste for the ladies when he's a bit older ;o)

Chase is in love with our super-cute, blonde, pharmaceutical sales rep neighbor (I say that only b/c every pharmaceutical sales rep I know is super-cute...so it kind of helps you get a picture of her in your mind), Beth. She's always out watering her plants when we head over to the pool, or on our way back. Chase could sit and talk to her for hours...and she is nice enough to sit there and talk right back, while she's outside gardening. Chase and Addy draw her Sidewalk Chalk pictures on her driveway all of the time, has invited her to his 4th birthday party (in New York...and he's hiring a party-bus, in case you didn't know...he has big plans), we've shared glasses of wine while Chase chats away with her, etc.

Most recently, Chase was riding his bike home from the pool, saw Beth, spun out of control and wrecked in her driveway (I missed this...I think I would have peed my pants) and jumped right up, brushed his hands off, yelled "I'm alright!" said Hi, and asked her if she'd like to take him out to dinner sometime (I know!) I think he even suggested Del Rio in Leesburg. Anyhoo, a while later that night while still talking to Beth, he ran inside and got her a cupcake we had baked earlier in the day for his Aunt Erica's b-day. He was SOOO careful carrying that cupcake down the steps to her, it was so sweet.

So, we go outside this AM to head over to the park, and Beth happens to be leaving for work at the same time. She stops her car, and runs back into her garage and grabs 2 huge gift-bags for the kids...full of Sidewalk Chalk (the 3-D kind on the commercials...she's always talking about it) flashlights, cotton candy, etc. It was so nice of her! The kids were in heaven, and I'm sure we'll be making some BEEEutiful drawings in her driveway (and 2 or 3 of the other neighbors driveways...one is probably having her baby today (MEGAN AND MEREDITH...I saw Glenn this AM...I think Tallerie is going to have her baby today!!!), so I'm sure the kids will want to make something special for them too)

I was so touched that our single, 30-something neighbor was kind enough to do something like that for the kids, for no reason! Made my day...
