Monday Magic

I used to spend every Wednesday morning in a playgroup. Someone in my house pretty much had to be separated from a limb for me to give up my weekly sanity saver. Nothing beats getting together with some Mom friends and letting the kids play while you get to talk about things that don't revolve around the letter of the day or Dora the -where-are-your-parents-Explorer. Those days have been replaced by the preschool shuffle and the new reality of having a few mornings to myself each week. I thought this was a bit of an improvement...until today. It's spring break here so it was high time that I made good on the 4,000 "we should really get together" pacts that I have made with some friends. After a year and a half of trying, Julie and Tabitha brought the kids over today for some princess magic (with a little mission space mixed in). The girls absolutely delighted in each other's beauty and John Glenn and "Boss" were pretty magical in their own right...and I thoroughly enjoyed my glorious adult conversations with Tabitha and Julie!

So maybe "Boss" isn't in to dressing up just yet...but, as it turns out, he is into doughnuts. I secured my "friend of the year" award from Julie when she caught me feeding this baby boy a doughnut hole. I didn't exactly do the math on Boss' age...but boy did my buddy love that doughnut! I think I have a friend for life in this little guy.
