A fellow military wife was lamenting the woes of "Grandparents" day at her children's schools and how it really just salts the wound of not having your "real" family close enough for these type of things.
And then tonight I hosted a good, ole fashioned slumber party and realized that these little girls (and their moms)...
Are part of our New Jersey/Military Family.
And I love these little ladies (and their Moms!).
Kaelyn and her friends are enjoying a night of fun. Heart shaped pizzas, movies, popcorn, cookies...laughs and memories! While my dear sweet Anna spends the night with her Best Friend Hunter...
(Ryan is not a fan of his mothers sense of humor...she added a candle to make the dinner for 2 much more romantic)
I don't think I say it enough, but I love my kids and I love our makeshift family!
I love that I can ask these ladies for anything, that they can come pick my kids up at 4 am from the ER, they think to send my husband a copy of our daughters first soccer game when he is deployed, that I have sat and cheered on their daughters at soccer games and dance recitals and felt the same swell of pride I feel for my children. That they will help me find the humor in anything and when its not there, pass a glass of wine and drink a toast to shared worries and the woes of Grandparents day.
These ladies not only get "it", they get me.
