Well, I am not a big fan of that! I have many fond memories of seeing my friends all the time after school, riding my bike over to their houses or playing behind the school across from my house. In middle school I would probably hang out in person with friends three to four nights a week, and that wasn't even including Saturdays when we would spend basically the whole day at each other's houses or out getting in to trouble! Growing up I would always go over to other friends' houses. Partly this was due to having an annoying older brother and sister, but also because my mom would get annoyed if we made a mess. I didn't want that same thing for Ledge, so we decided to do something about it: we decided that our house is going to be the hangout house! Unfortunately, none of Ledger's friends live just down the street, so that means if he wants to have them over I have to coordinate with their parents and pick them up or drop them off afterwards. No problem, I say. With the school year just starting, we figured Ledge should invite a few friends over on Friday, so I texted with their parents and got it all worked out. The four of them walked to our house after school and spend the rest of the day hanging out and having a blast! Mostly it consisted of them playing games together on their phones and tablets, but to hear them chatting and bursting out in laughter makes it all worth while!
Diana and I usually end up hiding in the guest room and watch tv, listening from time to time to make sure no one lost a limb. For dinner I went and picked up a few pizzas and the boys chowed down! Finally, around 9pm, the boys and I piled into the car and we brought them each home. On the way back to our house Ledger kept talking about all the funny stuff they did and how much fun it was. This will definitely be something we do regularly this year!
