The summertime season is officially in full swing.
This past weekend we had alot of fun with the family down in Oklahoma. Sunday evening we weren't even halfway home and my son was busy on his phone, texting his friends to see who wanted to come and hang out overnight. Ben was the luck of the draw.
So Monday afternoon Ben's brother, Will, comes over to pick him up and they decide to have another sleepover. I'm still not sure if it is supposed to be my son, Will AND Ben or just my son and Will. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
This evening my son invited his long-time buddy, Andrew, to come over. Suffice it to say, he's going to be sleeping over tonight too.
Though not to be outdone, Marcus showed up a bit ago and the three of them are in the family room tearing through some video game with "The Prestige" to watch later.
I went for a walk.
There's something absolutely wonderful about a late night walk in the summer, with the stars twinkling in the blackened sky, the wind whispering in the trees like the secrets of a best friend, and the hush after a busy day. I feel closer to God in those moments.
But then I get back home to the chaos of three teenaged guys playing shoot 'em-up on the Wii.
Yes, summertime has begun.

Summertime Sleepovers
My son has his best friend here for a sleepover tonight.
I've been relegated to the living room and office. Monday is the only day I have shows that I like to watch. The TV was mine, all mine until 9:00. Hey, that rhymes! Now they own the family room and television. It's a good time for blogging.
They're probably getting the video game and guitars all set up. Maybe they'll be quiet so I can go to sleep later. Or not. Oh well - I'll get even in the morning.
Usually when they have a sleepover at our house, they'll crash on the sectional in the family room sometime in the wee hours of the morning. But my kitchen is back there too, so it will be open season when I have to get up early in the morning and prepare myself breakfast. Heh, heh, heh! Paybacks...how sweet the revenge.
Nah, I'll probably play the sucker once again and try my best to be as quiet as possible so as not to disturb their rest. Being considerate to those sleeping is just hardwired into my being. I love to see people snoozing peacefully - my son and his friends included.
Now if I accidentally drop a pan on the floor, that's a different story. It would be an accident after all. :-)
