Super Party

We aren't really social. The kids are, but we aren't (especially Matt). So, as a tease, we told the kids we were having a Super Bowl party and all our friends would be there. We joked about it throughout the week - we wouldn't have room for all the cars to park, we needed to bring all the folding chairs upstairs for people to sit, etc. I think the kids might have believed us for a while, but they caught on. Finally, during one of our conversations, the kids told us they didn't believe us.

Alie said that "Dad doesn't like people and all of mom's friends are pretend except for Lauren and Amanda." Colby said that "Dad doesn't have any friends except for Ray." I have smart kids. Well, Ray came over - for a drink even - but alas, there was no Super Bowl Party.

The kids were spot on. We're lame.

    You're my kind of friend!
    Our DHs would be best friends.
    Let's non-party together next year.

    Hey, tell Alie I'm real! I was in your house, so therefore I must be real. I am real, aren't I?

    Here's another pretend friend who would love to party with you. Even a party for the super bowl which I care nothing about. Pretend friends party on!

    Another pretend friend here! We don't have any real life friends either, but it doesn't really bother me that much. My kids cause enough chaos in our house to even want to invite MORE chaos into it!

    I gave a good chuckle when I read about how all of your friends are pretend except Lauren and Amy...

    I guess when I come up in May (I hope) that I'll have o meet the kids, so they'll 'believe' I exist ;)

    I have a funny story about friends, but it'll have to wait until I see you in person, it's too long to type out. :) I like your banner!! so pretty

    I soooo laughed at Alie's comment about your pretend friends. hahaha

    However, come April, several of us will no longer be pretend.
