We are wild and crazy....

Josh and I were married almost 5 years before we had kids. I feel fairly certain that we did fun things before we became parents. The problem is.... I just don't remember much of it. I honestly have no idea what we would do on just an average Friday night. Sure- I remember hanging out with friends at times, and going to concerts and stuff like that. But I know there were lots of Friday nights when Josh was at work that I was home alone. What on earth did I do??? Who knows.
Here is one thing I do know though- my Friday nights now are SO much better!
Most Fridays consist of Volleyball practice. However, a couple of weeks ago practice got canceled right before we were we got ready to go. I'm not gonna lie- I wasn't sad at all. :) We needed a break! It just so happened that our school got out early that day because the Roos were playing at Cowboy Stadium at 5:30. SO I had time to swing by the grocery store and get home in plenty of time to watch the girls get off of the bus!

It was awesome! It's these little things that I miss out on because of being a teacher that I hate. But it makes it so much more special when I get a chance to sit in my rocking chair on the front porch and watch the bus pull up and my two angels climb down those steps with huge smiles and run down the driveway. It melted my heart.
After we got the call about practice being canceled, the girls were in their pajamas by 4:45, and headed to the back porch to paint the pumpkins I bought at the store on my way home.

Kitty Kitty was supervising. 

While they painted, I fixed dinner. We ate, watched it rain, and relaxed! It was heaven.
After Macie went to bed, and Brenna settled into my bed to watch TV, the party got REALLY CRAZY!

Yep- I pulled out the ironing board and put in a dvd of Designing Women!
Like I said, I know that before kids we used to do fun things.... I just don't remember what they were anymore. And, honestly, I much prefer this new level of wild and crazy that involves paint, pizza, pajamas, and, yes, even the ironing board on a Friday night.
