Oh how Fridays have changed!

Well I must admit, Friday's sure have changed (or I suppose weekends in general). I remember when I used to come home from work (or University) on a Friday, grab a quick bite, get changed, have some friends over, drink some pre drinks while deciding which pub or bar to hit up that evening. Saturday would consist of sleeping in, ordering in pizza and then going out again that night. Sunday was usually a major sleep in and then a lounge day while nursing a hangover. 
Now, my Friday's consist of home cooked meals, Uno Extreme, Guess Who? (the board game), bath time, Amelia Bedelia books, Dinosaur books, cuddles in bed and snuggling a 4 month old til he falls asleep in my arms. Saturdays consist of running to the rink to cheer on a group of 5 and 6 year olds play hockey, more bed time books and snuggles, Sundays consist of big breakfasts and family fun. 
So - has my life changed pretty dramatically in the past 5 years? HECK YES! But, I like where my life is going now. Now a evening out is a treat. A date with my husband or an evening with the girls is rare and thoroughly enjoyed when it happens. 
Tonight as I tucked my 3 year old into bed he asked me what he always does "Mom, what was your favorite part of the day?" and today I said "Going sliding on the hill at Uncle Bob's with you, Rory and Henry!" and he said "That was my favorite part of the day too!" and when we asked Rory she said "sliding and playing board games after supper with you and Daddy". Now, those are why Fridays at home are 100% worth it. I remember Friday nights with my family growing up. I remember movie nights and board game nights. Those are fond memories in my head and now I get to make those memories for my babies. 
Now my babies are sound asleep in their beds and I get to put on my jammies and curl up with my husband to watch a movie. It may not be a night of dancing at the coolest bar but it sounds pretty darn fun to me! Plus, my head is going to hurt a lot less tomorrow!!! 
Have a great weekend everyone - whatever a great weekend is to you! Cheers.
