spaceteam and other sounds

right now, 

my husband and 2 friends are playing space team together on iOs devices while i sit and drink wine.

their voices mingle together, fast and furious, simultaneously instructing each other toward a common goal.

somebody's device is plugged in so he cannot move...but he wants to. bad.

another is alternating between sitting on the couch, jumping in the air, and kneeling on the floor -
hair flying all about as she moves...eyes on fire.

the third is like a statue - until the instructions say "shake" at which time he and the device...
{shake shake shake}
 

this weekend with friends has been good.

a mix of adult conversation and work:fun alongside child's play.

belly laughs accented by screams of delight.

fart jokes and 8 year old discussions of body image and wealth.
the crunch of popcorn while watching a movie.

the humming bubbles of a whirlpool and cannonballs echoing within a steamy pool room.
the light clinking and clanking of kids searching for legos.
the quiet silence of sleep interrupted by lullabies, nighttime weepies, and snoring. 

this weekend has been good - 

good for the soul and a good way to start the "new" year.

cheers!
