Last week, we went to Austin to visit Sara who lived in Central Asia for a semester. She is amazing with kids and N especially has a sweet bond with her. Her bedtime stories are unparalleled and I would always cringe when I was putting N to bed and he would ask for a Sara story. My stories don’t even begin to compare!
She had make your own pizzas for N and J. We do this at home all the time but I’ve never let them put on their own sauce, cheese and toppings. They loved it and kept saying, we’ve got to have this at home, Mom! This was topped off with ice cream, a movie and a Sara bedtime story.
Our lives are richer for knowing Sara. My favorite part of the visit was staying up late after N and J were finally asleep. I let Sara beat me in Nertz for the 100th time. She doesn’t know I’m actually a Nertz superstar wiz , I have just let her beat me repeatedly for the past few years so she’ll feel good about herself. J and I would never practice on our date nights in attempt to beat she and Lindsey, just once. We would never analyze their every move to figure out if they somehow cheat. We wouldn’t have to since we’re a power couple when it comes to Nertz.
Until next time, keep practicing Sara!
