My oldest daughter, Madison has this way of conjuring up these"hang-out" dates with friends right before my eyes and somehow she gets my approval before I even know what I've agreed to.
Last weekend, she invited three boys and one girl- friend to our house to hang out, eat, play, eat some more etc. Brandon Macintosh, Mitchell Larsen, Jay Kyle and Megan McCasline came over for a fun night @ the Crofts' house. I have to admit that I was not looking forward to having a bunch of sweaty pre-teens at my house with stinky feet on my carpet, boy germs everywhere, food spilled, wrappers strewn across the patio etc. It turned out that I (and yes I know I am an adult) was totally into this party!!! I am very proud of Maddy and the friends that she has chosen. They are great people and they didn't seem to care that Maddy's little brother and sister snuck their way into the fun.
Here are just a few pics of the night. It was fun for some good friends to get together outside of the school setting.
