How lucky we were to at least get Clare for the weekend (even if it meant her bringing good luck to her eagles...) PLUS this was the reunion weekend for all of my and corey's roommates. SO we had a very full and fun house. It is always so great seeing everyone. Staying up late friday and saturday seems to be getting harder and harder with each passing year, but I AM trying!
The boys so enjoy meeting all of "mommy and daddy's friends" and the attention they bring. James had a plethera of people actually interested in playing cars with him. Andrew Duffy (a friend of Pat McGrath's) had a hilarious story of trying on James' fireman hat, only to have James immediately take it off of him saying, "no, that's mine." Then when Andrew made a sad face, James quickly asked, "Why are you sad?"
Andrew: Cause you took my hat.
James: No, it's okay. It's mine.
Andrew: (making a sad face again)
James: Why are you sad?
Andrew: Cause I want to wear the hat.
James: No. It's okay- it's mine.
Andrew: (making a sad face again)
James: Why are you sad?
And as you can guess, this went on for an insane amount of time, before we had to leave to tailgate. It is truly amazing how kids never seem to tire of certain things, or allow themselves to believe certain realities. Anyway, the quote of the weekend quickly became, "no, it's okay, it's mine."
We were so proud to actually be hosting our very own tailgate this year with our gang. It was so inspiring- complete with Dr. King's homeade desserts, Mar's catered sandwiches and veggies with dip. There was even good beer available! SEE?! We ARE getting old! Good thing I was there to keep it real with peer pressure on all my chicitas to do the unmentionable college things I do find so fun and dumb...
Can't wait till next year!!!!
