T-Ball Ladies

The kids and I had lunch today with a group of moms and kids that we met at the boy's t-ball games. I think all these moms, me included, couldn't wait to get out and enjoy adult conversation. The kids were more than excited to see some of their friends again as well. We went to one of the moms houses which was beautiful. The best part was there was a basement for all the kids to play in. By all the kids you should know that there were 8 kids. Can you imagine 8 kids running around while 4 moms are trying to have a conversation? As I mentioned there's a basement, so it really was very nice.

I think it was nice for all of us to see our kids play nicely together, and hit each other....wait sound funny? Na, as a mom it's nice to know that it's not just your kid that gets in trouble, is to rough with other kids or just plain pushy.

Our conversations went from the normal mom topics of "is your kids looking forward to school next year?" To not so everyday topics such as "why do boys always have their hands down their pants?" Between those interesting conversations kids would pop up with a notice of who was hitting whom, such as "the white boy in the orange shirt just hit me." Yes jaws dropped and we all burst into giggles which we could not contain each time a new kid came up.

We would do an occasional basement check and a warning was sent down to the basement from a child upstairs "a parent is coming!" That should probably make us wonder but hey, there were no tears and no blood so we looked, deemed all well and went back to our happy world of adult conversation.

The kids were happy, the moms were happy and in the end who could ask for a better few hours?
