this morning it was 7:45 when i rolled over in bed!! ahh...it still sounds quiet!!! sure enough, hubby walks out for work. quiet....i should do my exercise. after just a short consideration i savor a cup of coffee instead. God is so good. i decide to enjoy my coffee with the today show!!! i don''t remember the last time i was able to watch that. most likely when mapboy was still under 2. i watch a very moving piece on a widowed father and the phone rings. it is my bestest friend!! i love talking to her and it is still quiet upstairs!
after a few minutes plans are made for my family to head to her house for time in their pool and a poolside lunch! after a week of making my kids play alone while i worked on vbs stuff this is just what they need. as they wander sleepily downstairs, i ask if they would like to go. well, of course i knew the answer, but isn't it nice that i asked?
so my kids quickly get their chores done, i throw dinner in the crockpot and by 10:00 we are out the door!! my friend has 5 kids...the olderst 2 were gone but the younger 3 are my kids ages and gender so it was great fun! we loaded them up with floaties and watched them play for an hour while we soaked in the rays....then jumped in to be good mommies and play! before we knew it, lunch was needed. i love to grill and she doesn't, so she provided the food and i did the grilling!
more swimming, more sunning, and then...the kids went inside to play! so since we are such great mommies we decided to celebrate with our very own version of the a chocoate dipped strawberry blizzard!!! oh my goodnesss!!!!! we were in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soaking in the sun, not a child around us, eating ice cream.....
the kids returned for a last hour of pool time before we headed home!! now mine are watching sleeping beauty and resting for our final night of vbs! i'm getting myself ready for a night of pure fun!!! 90 kids...yes, 90 kids will all get a chance at me in the dunk tank!!!!
God totally knew i needed to have a fun day with my kids and for myself. i feel so blessed that my best friend has children who are my kids best friends and that as they have gotten older we get to giggle too!!!
thank you God for such a glorious friday!!!
