Lazy Sunday
Yesterday Bonnie and I had a rare treat: The ability to go over to a friends' house and relax without the kids! Our friends Heather and John had an impromptu cookout at their house, and invited us to come over shortly before my mom took all three kids to an afternoon activity she had planned some weeks before. We rarely get time to ourselves and even more rarely get to spend that time in the company of other adults, so it was a treat.
The clouds rolled in, the temperature dropped, and while it threatened rain, it really didn't do more than just spit a bit -- enough to be offset by a fire that John set up in part of the yard. Eventually Mom brought the kids home and I recovered James -- neither Emme nor Robert were feeling up to socializing -- and he had a good time playing with their kids and with some of the other guests' kids as well.
All told, it was a nice relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
