Family fun Friday

Last evening was one of the few Friday evenings where the kids didn't have swim practice.  Originally Robert's girlfriend was going to come over, but he made some choices that made him lose that privilege.  Fortunately it is just typical teen stuff, but not okay none-the-less.  Andrew met a friend for dinner, but was still home fairly early.  I had worked in first grade (I'll make a separate post about that) and was pretty darn tired.  After Andrew arrived home, we were all sitting squeezed into the family room.  It was almost 8:00 and I was seriously considering how early I could go to bed and not be considered pathetic, when I realized that American Ninja Warrior was on.  I had caught a few moments when Robert was watching a week earlier, and was telling Andrew all about it.  He was kind of teasing me about how I seemed to enjoy it, and we all sat to watch it.  I loved that for the next two hours our family sat together, ate some snacks together and all hung out in the same room.  So many times, the kids will want to watch something different in another room, and I don't really blame them.  But I absolutely love the fact that last evening we all hung out as a family together even doing something so simple.
