Last week was supposed to be a "slow" week with no plans, but then we had a dear lady from church pass away on Tuesday. This was hard for our whole church family. And S is a deacon and I am one of our Ladies' Circle leaders, so it was a very busy week helping our church prepare for the funeral on Saturday and the funeral lunch afterwards. The kids really stepped up and were very good all week enduring a bazillion phone calls and meeting and errands. Come Friday you could tell they had had it and although there were many things on the list to do yet, I needed to stop for the morning otherwise we would all go crazy. But what to do for fun Friday? Thankfully, Mrs. VA called earlier in the week and asked if G could come over and play at their house for the morning...
...so G went to K's house and had a blast playing with her school friend!
Then I asked the boys what they wanted to do and both W & C wanted friends over, "BOYS, momma!" I called their friends from church and they were free and happy to come over to play
(and since their lovely mom came with too, I got to have a friend over as well! =)
And oh, did those boys play,
...and play,
...and play,
and play!
It was just what everyone needed: G had some time away with her best friend from school, the boys had fun doing boy stuff with boys, B & I had a nice chat and walk around the yard looking at the blooming roses, and mac'n'cheese for lunch and brownies makes everyone happy. We are blessed to have such good friends!
