You get invited out for an evening of drinks and food and vacation pictures and you reply back that you can't go because your husband is working. This happens a lot, which is OK. It's just part of firelife. But at this point in time, said husband has been gone a lot and a night of drinks and friends sounds just about right.
Friend 1 e-mails back and volunteers her lovely 16 year old son to babysit your kids at her house so they can play with her daughter as well.
Then Friend 2 e-mails and offers her husband to watch the kids while we go out. You go with Friend 2 just because she had 2 kids about the same ages as yours.
You bring her lovely husband a 6 pack of beer to pay for his babysitting services because while you haven't offered, you are sure they would not take money for it.
You enjoy a grown-up evening of drinks and food with said wonderful friends. And ruminate on how lucky you are.
And then Mr. T stuck his face (mouth open) in a dirt hole. Which was both adorable and gross.
Ah yes, young boys are absolutely the most ... I will stop right there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beauty shot of my yard - I will make sure to give you photo credit when I submit it for the Garden Tour application. : )
ReplyDeleteThe kids had a blast (and so did I!).
