Could it be?

Have we reached the point where we can have adult evenings with our kids present? Is it finally getting easy?

Tonight my wife and a three of her friends decided they needed drinks. Working for Marsh will do that to you. It was a beautiful day so they decided that our roof deck was a perfect destination.

I get the word around 5:45. They show up around 6:30. These are the kind of friends that you don’t need to clean up for and they know our kids. So that part is easy. So we get some wine, some glasses, some music and some snacks for the kids and we head to the roof.

And it was easy. Our kids just hung out. Sure, they wanted me to flip them upside down and other similar things, but they didn’t just hang on me. They hung out with everyone. Of course I let them play with my phone (Tori is still into that stupid Gummy Bear song on YouTube) but entertaining them wasn’t an effort. There was even limbo.

It was a gorgeous night. We drank wine, we ordered pizza, the kids played and everyone had fun.

Maybe it was a fluke, but I’m getting the idea that adult evenings may start happening again…
