Girls, Girls, Bad News

Today was a jammed packed day at the household. Little Son was going to his first "girl" party. Big Son was having 2 friends over after school. I drove Little Son to is party... side note, it was surprising to see so many "little" girls in bikinis at the pool party and so many boys in bathing suits and t-shirts looking amazed. Upon pulling up to my driveway I notice 2 girls hanging out at the bottom. Our dog goes nuts when I pull up and as I'm getting out of the car I can hear the girls calling the dog... Come here puppy , etc. I go in the house and Big Son and his friends want to know what the noice is outside. Oh, I say, two girls are at the bottom of the driveway calling the dog. I walk into my room and boys go outside. Next thing I know, I walk out of my room and the girls are in my house. I tryVERY hard to act like it is no big deal that there are girls in my house. IT IS A BIG DEAL!!! Here I am dropping my little baby off at his first "girl" party and come home and there are girls in my house. It hit me that my boys are growing up. Another step into becomming men.

The girls ended up staying for about an hour. They all went out into the trampoline and hung out. The funny thing to me is that after 15 minutes of the girls being at my house, phone calls were made somehow and 4 more boys showed up. The girls left and the boys went into Big Son's room for a huddle. All of a sudden, the girls came back. By this time husband was home and was very amused about the girls. He asked me if the girls parent's knew that they were over. Who knows? All I know that if I had 14 year old girls, I would be knowing what boys they were with. Husband and I ended up driving the boys to MK so they could eat, and then back to the Carnival. Husband and I also went to the carnival to see old friends. I ended up seeing my Big Son walking with his arm around one of girls who was at our house. Makes Sense now. Husband is telling me now that girls were over once, get ready for the onslaught of them being over all the time.

All the time we spent with the boys tonight was fun. It still hit me a little hard in the heart to see my "big" baby with a girl. I know, I know, he is suppose to be with girls. Have his crush. Have girls have a crush on him. But...he is my baby. In my eyes I see him as a 5 year old getting on the bus for kindergarten. How do I deal with him having a girlfriend? I called my sister tonight to tell her what was happening. Like she said, in FL, I can have my boys back. It is hard to see your kids grow up. To know what they are going to go through. Husband thinks that I'm over sensitive about the girl issue. When I asked him how he will feel about his niece's walking to a boy's house to hang out, he said it wouldn't happen. They wouldn't be aloud to a boys house unless their father, him our their cousins go with them. The girls, he says, are to good for any boy that they would want to be with. On the flip side, Husband says that any girl can hang out with his boys... Our boys are to good for them.

I realized tonight... it is easier to be a teenager than to have teenagers.
