Yesterday my mom and Lily offered to watch the kids so our small group moms could go to lunch. There are 6 of us in the small group and we never get to chat all together without the kiddos. The thought of having lunch with 5 of my favorite people, without kids was totally intoxicating.
I can safely say it was equally intoxicating for the other ladies because we've been looking forward to this day for a month. Anytime we chat, the excitement of this day is mentioned.
You have to understand, to coordinate this kind of event, two crazy people have to offer to watch all our kids. That's 15 kids, 2nd grade and younger. Most of them are kindergarten and younger. My mom has just enough crazy in her to think she and Lily could do it. She had lunch, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, water games, water balloons, a birthday party for one of the girls who actually turned 3 yesterday, painting and I'm not sure what else because my brain started to hurt and I got really tired all of a sudden.
The kids had a blast. They were wet, tired and all smiling when we showed up.
Thank you ladies for meeting for lunch. It was nice to to catch up, talk without being interrupted and just fellowship with you. Each of you have blessed my life and I'm so grateful that God brought our family into this small group.
Jorene, Lindi, Erin, Amanda, me and Becky
I wonder if next week is too soon for my mom!
