Yesterday, I had more fun than I've had in a long time! After working a half day at the high school, my boys and I participated in National Donut Day by going to Dunkin' Donuts for an iced coffee and a free donut. Our friends daughter, "K" works there, so we also went to say hello to her. She was having a "Game Night" at her home and had invited a bunch of friends, including "J", but also said our whole family was invited. Later, I asked "J" what time it was supposed to be for. He told me 4pm.
Ok, so fastforward. I had to pick up mail for a friend who was out of town, so we left a little early so I could do that, then run to the store so "J" could pick up some soda for the party. Then we drove over to our friends house. Apparently she had told everyone else 4:30, so we were a little early. No big deal. I didn't want to leave "J" and "K" alone at the house, so I stayed. I wasn't planning to stay, I figured I'd go back home for awhile, and then when my hubby got home we could go over together. So anyway, I stayed until one of the other friends showed up. "K" was going to take "J" and the other friend to go pick someone up, but just as she was getting ready to leave, a whole bunch of other friends showed up. LOL! Her parents weren't home yet, so she didn't know what to do. So I told her to go pick up her friend and I'll stay at the house until she got back. I have to say though, before I go on, that I just LOVE this whole group of friends, such a great bunch and lots of clean fun and laughter. So it was a pleasure to hang out with them for a little while.
"K" got back with the friend, but I decided to go ahead and stay until her parents got home anyway, just to help out to get things set up. I am so glad I did. Erin (the mom) and I got things going once she got home, she was thankful for my help and told me so. All the "kids" went downstairs to play games, it was SO fun to listen to them all laughing and talking and just having a blast.
Well, long story short, when it was getting dark, we had a bonfire outside. It was so fun. We just all sat around talking and laughing, but then the REAL fun started....MARSHMALLOW FIGHT! I don't even remember how it got started to begin with, but everyone was throwing marshmallows at each other, and just about dying of laughter. I felt like a teenager, just goofing off and having fun and laughing until my stomach and my head hurt. Like I said earlier, this whole group of "kids" (ok, lets say young adults because some of them were in their 20's and 30's, but they are still kids to me) is such a wonderful group, I couldn't ask for better friends for my kids. We didn't leave until around 11pm. PHEW! By the time I got to bed it was 11:30pm. Wiped out, head hurting, stomach hurting, but very happy and content. Can't ask for a better day than that, now can you?
