It was a full friends' weekend this past weekend. On Friday, my husband was asked to go over to our friends' house to help him with some home improvements. He told my husband to bring the boys with him since they are friends with his son. I was invited as well, but I had errands to run.
When I completed my errands, I went over to our friends' house too. The boys were outside playing. I went inside and hung out with my friends (the wives) and the girls were inside as well. The boys played outside until it got dark. When the sun set, they turned into video game zombies. Around 10 p.m., SJ was ready to go home. We stayed 30 more minutes and SJ and I went home. He is only good for so much social time. Bob and my husband stayed until around 11:30.
The next day we had beautiful weather. Bob had soccer practice in the early afternoon. SJ stayed at home with my husband. He was supposed to be helping my husband with spring gardening, but I wasn't too shocked to find out he didn't help at all. He was too busy enjoying the weather and playing as an 11 year old should.
When Bob and I returned, they continued to play outside. My husband and I decided it would be nice to have a fire that evening. We invited some friends over to join us. The boys played until it got dark. We sat around the fire and roasted marshmallows. You forget how great a roasted marshmallow is until you eat one. Then, you have to eat five more.
SJ wasn't eating them, but he did roast about 4. He would roast them until they were black. He would carefully take them off and place them on the table. We found his charcoal treats later that evening when we were cleaning up.
Our friends stayed until around 11. The boys were exhausted from staying up late two days in a row. They slept in for them (9:30 a.m.) and we had a relaxing Sunday. It was raining, so they turned back into video game zombies. In spite of the rainy Sunday, it was a great weekend.
