As I may have mentioned, we have the world's best babysitter for Mac. Mac LOVES when we go out because Colin is way more fun than Jimmy and I could be on our very best day. It's hours of nonstop Nerf gun wars, Wii marathons, movies and snacks with a 15 year-old boy, so what could be better to an 8 year-old boy than that?
We had Colin lined up for tonight so we could attend a dinner with friends. On Thursday, Mac received an invitation for a friend's sleepover birthday party tonight. This friend's mom is due to give birth to child #4 in two weeks, just two days before the friend's actual birthday. She decided getting one birthday out of the way was best; hence, a party was thrown together at the last minute.
When I told Mac he'd gotten the invitation, his first thought was that he couldn't hang out with Colin, which shows the level of hero worship that he suffers. But he came to his senses and said he wanted to go to the party.
And we were obviously thrilled for him to go to the party. We got a free night out, Jimmy didn't have to walk Colin home late, AND we got to sleep in on Sunday.
For win-win-win situations, I am truly thankful.
