I spent the day with my friend Hailey and her two sons. Our families have gotten together a few times for supper but have only once spent the day together and never at our place. It was so nice to have one of my best girlfriends out for the day! We had easy lunch and had solid girl talk while our boys played. As I have said so many times, Dekker is very shy of new people, but he did great with her kids!! He just stared after the older one as he raced laps around the room and drove cars around, and he was completely taken with the baby when he would start to crawl really fast. Dekker would squeal and point and get so excited! Once, baby Z came up to Dekker, grabbed his shirt, and pulled up on him. Deks just froze, but didn’t get scared or try to get away. He just stared. It was awesome to see. When I finally made Dekker have a nap, he cried so hard when I carried him to his crib. He was so sad to leave and miss all the fun! However, he was even sadder to wake up and have supper, he after some cucumbers and crackers, he went right back down to bed and hasn’t made a sound since.
When the husbands showed up and girl time was over, we started putting together the meal they brought for us. It was my favorite kind of meal!! Courses of appetizers, basically. All the delicious stuff. Mozza sticks, jalapeno poppers, chicken wings, with rice and an apple pecan salad. Oh my gosh. It was sooo yummy! I was so full at the end, yet completely sad that it was over. You know those meals? Amazing.
We visited a bit longer but all the boys were fading and as all parents can relate to, when the kids are fading, so are the adults. So we called it a night before 10pm. Hoping to see you guys again next week maybe?? So nice seeing you!!!
