Spontaneous evening!

Last evening was such a fun spontaneous evening.   Sean was at work and wouldn't be home until 8 but our friends Nate & Liz had a present for us from Nate's sister Stephanie...so they wanted to drop it off.   (By the way Stephanie, I was SOOO touched by your present....it really meant a lot to us that you thought enough to put that together, pink and blue paper and all!!)  Anyways, around 6; the two of them came over and like a good host, I asked if they'd like to come in.  Well, just about an hour and a half passes; longer than they anticpated to stay and we all developed a plan that we would all hide when Sean came home and then we would have Liz jump out at him...of course Sean would have been shocked because he wouldn't have known that Nate & Liz were there...and he would have expected me to jump out.  So, Nate, stood waiting patiently looking out the window peering for Sean's headlights...like a little boy looking for Santa's sleigh. 

We finally heard Sean's footsteps and we ran to our spaces.   (yes, we are crazy)...we heard the door open and then here's the downer...Sean actually opened the front hall closet; which he normally doesn't do and saw their shoes.  Then, us; all in our hiding spots quietly awaiting...Sean screams "Lynsey, where are you; I'm so in the mood"...and then he started loosening his belt.  He then found Liz, then me....then Nate.  So our plan back fired.

Sean was shocked to see that they were still here and after a long day at work, he was thrilled to see them.  Then, the four of us went out to dinner....yes, at 8:30pm.  We went to 'Five Guys'...and if you have one near you; you know how good those burgers are!   After dinner we all sat and chatted until we were the last ones there at ten and felt like we should probably leave.   When we got home, we were still having fun that they came back in and we chatted more.    It was nice to have this stress-free evening with them and just relax with each other.

** SIDE NOTE:  I had really fun pictures of Nate looking out the window and both Nate & Liz in their hiding spots...but I don't have the patience to figure out how to download them right now.
