Last night, Peter and I were craving some adult time - to just sit and talk, uninterrupted. We said goodnight to the kids. Then goodnight again. Then 10 minutes later one of them was down again to tell us something we just had to know. Our foot went down and they, wisely, stayed in their beds.
We were FINALLY free.
Peter took the hammock into the middle of the backyard and we both lay down to watch the meteor shower. Two, maybe three, spectacular shooting stars later we both decided that it was a shame that the kids weren't here. They would love it....
So, if you can believe it, I got up and pulled the kids out of bed while Peter found two more places to lie down and we all laid under the stars watching the show.
Brilliant. We lost track of how many shooting stars, satellites, and planes (?) we saw.
I had forgotten about all of this until this morning when I looked out the back door.
Tonight will be a different story. Early to bed for everyone. Unless......
