Crafting with friends


Sorry Joanie, you left before we got you in the picture :(

Last Wednesday, I called Sam up and asked if she wanted to do this craft we have had for a few weeks now. We decided to get together and have lunch as well, Cafe Rio, of course! We sort-of, kind-of, in a way, kidnapped Joanie and made her spend time with us (I just don't get why we have to force people to be with us???). When Sarah was dropping off Bella from kindergarten, we asked her if she would like to join.

Let's see, what did we do?

* eat
* talk
* debate
* drink (pink lemonade of course)
* laugh
* talk
* settle a couple arguments (7 kids, need I say more?)
* laugh some more
* oh yeah, painted really quick
* talk
* changed a diaper, maybe 2
* laugh even more
* added 6 more kids into the mix (school was out before we were done having our fun)

I think that pretty much sums it up.

As we were getting the kids ready to go, we found the girls like this:

Did I mention just how much fun I really had. Thank you gals for helping to entertain me and keep me a little bit sane. It was so nice to just have some mommy to mommy time. How therapeutic is that??? I love my friends and I am so grateful to them for the many laughs and good times we have together. Let's do it again soon :)

You are very lucky to have such great friends in your neighborhood. I need to either move - or just become more outgoing I guess :) I need some good friends close to home like that! My best friends live in other states (or not close enough here that I see them very often).
