10/17/21 Baby A Finally Had A Proper Boy's Weekend?

    I kind of miss how Boy always had friends over and they would hang out here all weekend, pretty much every weekend it seemed.  Baby A has been so different, he might have a friend or two over but it is always for one might, either Friday or Saturday and maybe only once every two months or so.  He has never spent the night at any of his friends, not that Boy did much of that either.

    I don't know why, but this was the weekend for him to finally break down that wall.  He has been at it all weekend, starting Friday after school, he stayed on campus for a bit, and walked over to the Dairy Queen located across the street to hang a bit and gather the crew to go watch the girls play volleyball at the Ann Richards School.  My job was to go pick them up and deliver them to the game since I am available at that time.  I picked them up and took like 5 boys over, they all were able to leave their backpacks in the Excursion and go enjoy the girls in their little shorts, I mean who really wants to watch actual volleyball?  They had a good time, Wife got home and we went and picked them up around 9:00pm.  At that hour, the only thing we could think of was to pick up some pizzas, which we did, after we dropped off one of the boys who did not spend the night.

    I like the mix, it's Mijo, two football players on the team, a band kid, and one of his original friends from like 2nd or 3rd grade that has always come over.  After we got home, we put the pizzas out for them and we went to our bedroom.  They spread out in the living room, and ate while watching scary movies, then at 1:00am he came in the bedroom asking if the hot tub could be used.  I told him, it needs about 2-3 hours to heat up and I would have had to clean it, so no.  He had told me in the morning they were going to jump in the pool, so I had cleaned, shocked and got the pump running even if I thought they would chicken out since we got a cold front.  They were out there for awhile, must be nice to be young, you couldn't pay me to go fool around the cool water with the cold front arrived, I was vary nice and warm in bed.

    They then slept until almost noon, and we eventually made pancakes for them, followed by more scary movies, I think they were also playing on the PS4 and Mijo even set up the wrestling mats in the living room, so they did wrestle a bit.  A couple extra boys showed up Saturday, and all of these guys have said they are joining the wrestling team, so it might be a lot more fun having so many more boys on the wrestling team this year.  Wrestling is set to start in about a month, as soon as football finishes.

    Saturday night, we got them tickets to the House of Torment but their times weren't until 10:00pm.  We dropped them off, but the line was crazy long and was not in the best place.  The curbs were full for what seemed like a mile in either direction and the line to get in was about as long.  We dropped them off at maybe 9:30pm and they were not done until after midnight.  They said it was ok, all of them trying to be cool, but then they talked all the way home about the different ways they all got scared.  It was fun to hear them having a blast.  We had fed them Bill Miller tenders before we went out there, but after we got home, we figured they might be hungry, they are boys, so we threw a couple of frozen pizzas in the oven and they attacked them, with chips and sodas.
