With everyone waking to a headache today - Matteo mainly - I was contemplating whether we would in fact stick with our weekend plans and go visit Amy & Katelyn for Katelyn's 4th birthday party.
Then as the morning progressed and our headaches seemed to still be there I decided a change was in order if we were to ever get rid of these headaches. Mommy's intuition was perfect - best decision. The kids and I hit the road shortly after lunch time and I put on a story in the car and though we ran into the highway being closed (thanks for the detour Daddy - he stayed home to work but navigated me on the phone) - we added an additional 20 minutes to our trip - which wasn't bad at all at a little under 3 hours.
Arriving at Amy's house - which we had never seen since she moved in almost 18 months ago - was a treat. Mind you now, Amy is my BFF since 4th grade!! Fourth grade - there I just dated both of us :-) though neither of us would care.
After settling in, we made a small trip to the local supermarket - which if you know Matteo & Chloe May - the below picture is a true treat for them as I avoid the below shopping cart! But with Amy all things go and so we picked up our mushrooms and burgers and were back home cooking, laughing and it's like the kids have known each other all their life versus this being their second time meeting. Amy is as easy to get along with and love as the day is long. I am so privileged to not only be included in her family celebration, but also to call her "friend."
And props to Amy for the best mushroom burger I have ever had (and the only one). My mouth was watering for a second, though I didn't dare! :-)
