A few days later I look out there and they are playing with wiffle bats hitting a wiffle ball across the street. I called Andy and told him what they were doing and he said well tell them to get out of the yard. So i gathered up all my courage, which i don't know why it was so hard for me but it was, went and got the mail and said please get out of my yard and did a little hand motion like, go on, get! And they proceeded to stand in their front yard for like 15 minutes confused of what to do next because i ban them from using my yard again. (seriously park, down the street...not hard...) After that they continued to play catch kinda sorta in our yard, mostly staying on the sidewalk in front of our yard and closer to our neighbors then they were before. But still they suck and stray throws would still go near the house and when that would happen Andy would say....And your done. And then they would go back to their own yard. Or if Andy wasn't around i would go and sit on the porch and they would eventually move back to their own yard.
A few nights ago after Andy got home from work and had kicked them out of our yard again we heard a tapping at the front of the house. I had no idea what the sound was but Andy knew right away it was airsoft gun pellets hitting the house. He ran outside and found them a few houses down. I guess when he found them they tried denying it but Andy said your not stealthy and i'm not stupid. So there were 3 boys and they all had guns one of them was telling the truth and said that yes their were shooting at the roof of our house, and that the main boy(that lives across the street) said that we were mean because we wouldn't let them play in our yard. Andy told them i know your like 14 and think you have a right to other people's yards but you don't! (i think they are more 16ish) So he told the main kid to take him to his parents. He went and knocked on the door and the little girl that lives there answered (who lets their like 7 year old daughter answer the door at 8:30 at night??) Andy talked to the mom of the main kid and told her what happened and that they have been told to stop playing in our yard and they have not and if it continues that we will call the police and that he expects them to be punished for this. (while this is happening i'm watching from the library/office window) I guess in the middle of telling what happened Andy was like "hi i'm Andy we moved in across the street::shock hands::" then continued his rant. (i love my husband)
So that was Tuesday. They haven't been in our yard since, and they think that it hurts our feelings when they scream and yell noises as Andy enters the house. Oh i also heard the neighbor kid making fun of Andy's truck as he was leaving Wed. evening, he called it a rickety piece of junk, I was very surprised the kid didn't swear. Let's see so now we are onto yesterday, Thursday. They were playing catch in their own yard down the length of the street instead of across it like before. Andy had Tim over to play with the boffer weapons. When Tim got here Andy came around from the backyard carring his sheild and sword. The main kid's face dropped. His mouth was agape and he swung around and looked at the other kid. They then walked (still across the street) over trying to look into our back yard. I couldn't tell if they thought it was cool or if they thought that Andy is a big dork. After that they were riding their bikes in the alley behind the house getting a better look at the action. I guess they also went to the next street down and watched thinking they weren't being seen. I find this hilarious!! The look on that kids face was priceless. I'm thinking that eventually i many have the neighbor kids in my back yard getting lessons from Andy of how to make a boffer sword or something. HA! I'll keep you posted!
