Today was a good day...Emily Hammond is also the best Mom in town. Em and I have kids almost exactly the same age and we were obviously pregnant at the same time and we both have little ones very close together. Needless to say Em is a great friend...she is literally a gift in my life.
When we were both pregnant with number two we would daily get together so Jack and Fay could try and entertain each other and we could maybe sit down for a minute. It became kind of a ritual but when number two arrived and there were several schedules and illnesses to plan around our visits became less frequent but our friendship is still strong!
Today when the girls were woke up from nap I was bored so we called the Hammonds to go get frozen yogurt. They met us at the new place in town called Niki's and it was pretty good. The kids loved it and did not want the party to break up so we headed to our house. One glass of wine and about a billion cheerios later we decided the kids were hungry and that we would take them to McDonald's.
We looked like a circus coming to town, with the kids starving, dirty from yogurt, (Willa had spit up on me, which is now basically vomit since she eats normal food.), and all of our stuff. The kids were so happy...turns out neither one of us had actually been to that McDonald's. We ate in the play area and the kids played hard. There was a GIANT tree that the kids can climb up into, which leads into this maze until you get to this big swirl slide that is really dark and kind of scary in my opinion.
Fay of course was NOT scared and immediately made her way into the maze. I told her I was not coming to get her because I am terribly, terribly claustrophobic. And that thing is kind of my worst nightmare. She made it down fine but of course the little kids, aka Henry and Willa wanted to do the maze too. Willa had to settle for the little slide, but Em climbed in with Henry and took him through the whole germ infested maze. Henry was in HEAVEN...and Emily knew he would be. Now that's Love! Henry if you ever wonder how much your mom loves you, I will tell you that she crawled through the play maze not once, but twice. True Love.
I love not only having Dave to walk through parenthood with but all of my great mom friends...some were my friends first and then we became moms...others were moms and then my friends. Either way, I am grateful to have a village to raise kids in. Oh Em...I thank my God for ya!
