I Love It When My Son Has Friends Over

My son's friends are so much fun. I mean, they literally just mess up my kitchen and eat ALL my food. So why do I love it so much when they come over? It actually doesn't make any sense.

I only have one boy, so one of my missions as his mom has been to help him find great friends so he has other boys to spend time with. Because growing up in house full of girls is, well, it's A LOT. There are lots of tears and emotions, cattiness and craft projects. 

He has always needed close friends that serve as brothers to him. Fortunately, the Lord has always come through for him. He has AMAZING friends. They are goofy and hilarious. And some of them even call me their second mom. It's pretty awesome. 

So, if my grocery bill is a little high and my kitchen a little messy, it's totally fine. Because my boy is HOME, and he brought his friends. I take pride in the fact that his friends feel welcome to open my fridge, raid my pantry, and relax and stay awhile. They are funny and loud and make my son so happy. 

I wouldn't have it any other way.
