The family and I went to a very close friend's house tonight. We had so much fun. Husband and I truly enjoy spending time with this couple. They just happen to have young children, 7 and 4 who just adore our boys. I don't think a minute went by with the little kids hanging on by boys. The added bonus is that even though the "Dad" is my husband's friend, he spends a lot of time talking to my boys about their football, racing, school, etc. He is like a big brother, uncle, friend wrapped into one. And his wife is my boys dream. When Big Son was little, he told me he didn't know how to talk to the wife because she was so pretty. Now, being 15, he can't do enough to please her.
This couples' children are so sweet. They love being with my children and my boys indulge (and so do husband and I) there every wish. It is funny to hear the "little" kids talk to my boys. My boys laugh and indulge them. It makes me realize that Husband and I have done a "good job" raising our boys. They both had plans to sleep at friends houses tonight but when we told them that Husband and I would be at this couple's home, both boys canceled their plans to come with us. That to me is being a family.
