Little did I know that back in June when the boys and I went to Mrs. Erins house to play with Aidan and Connor it would be our last weekday playdate. The summer months have been so busy and between Erin's schedule and my being off two days a week we have not had any time since mid June to get the kids together. Today Erin started a job! I am happy for her since this is what needed to happen for their family but I am also a little sad. The kids really liked playing together and who's kidding here I really liked spending time with her. We all got along great and had similar interests and it made the days fun to have another family with two boys to play along with. Between the two of us we had 4 boys under 4. Whether it was to the zoo, art sparks, all about kids, incredible daves, henrys ark, gallrein farms, mcdonalds, kazoing or just hanging out in the backyard it was fun. Little did I know when we got together for a play date in their backyard it would be our last. Sad and disappointed are the emotions I feel but happy and thankful at the same time as this is what's best for their family. Erin's husband Darin will be staying at home during the days so I have joked that he will be my new Erin. I am hoping we will still be able to get the kids together but I know that with her starting a new career in sales that she will be consumed with juggling a full time professional career and that of raising two boys and maintaining a healthy happy marriage that there will be little time left over. Now we will just have to make the most of the time we do get together and try for at least once every few months.
