Feeling 22? Not so much.

Last weekend, Coach went out for a bit.
I stayed home with the kids.
Standard.
A friend, asked Coach, where his wife was.
He replied, "She's at home, with the kids, where she belongs."

Admittedly, that was probably funny at the time. Everyone near him chuckled.
When I received the replay later, it felt a little less funny.
It was way past time, for me to get out.

This weekend, several opportunities presented themselves and we went out...twice. Two nights in a row! We made several stops, at multiple gatherings and felt 22 again!

Well, at 10:00pm, while deep in the fun-ness, we felt 22. About 7:00am the next morning, with three kids, we felt more like 80-ish.

Occasionally, we like to play a game called, "What would we be doing right now, if we were one of those crazy couples, married without children?"
If we were...
We would have slept WAY in, ordered Chinese for lunch, rented rated R movies...or at least PG-13 and napped. Several times.

Instead,



We rented 'Where the Wild Things Are' and the kids cuddled in their chairs, with their own copies of the book, to reference.



And while I cleaned the kitchen, The Kid and Six somehow, stood innocently by, as Coco obtained TWO thin mints, at once.



Resulting in an emergency bath.



While our time 'out' was very much, extremely, laugh out loud fun. And we are grateful for hilarious friends and family. Not to mention, all the invites.
Alas, we were painfully, made aware, that we are not,
in fact,
22.

Oh well, movie nights with movies, made from books, while holding books...is pretty fun.
And Coco, looks pretty darn cute...covered in coco.
