seasons come and seasons go

i was driving down the road with the music blasting, i was of course harmonizing perfectly along to the song..we are young, { i had to ask my much cooler brother who even sang this song..FUN if your wondering. thats the name of the band} Ironic i should be singing along to this song, because i ask you, can it really only be 3 years ago that i could have told you who sang all the songs in casey kasems top 40? { is he even still alive? }

i was headed out for some much needed girl time with my dear friend and as we were chatting and catching up over some delicious CPK the topic was 90% about our kiddos and 10% about our...oh yes kiddos.

we then attempted to be even cooler and did some shopping, which ended in purchases for the kids.

before we sound totally pathetic we did both score some new digs for ourselves but not before we duly noted that we were buying a size bigger then the last time we went shopping together.

3 YEARS AGO!!!

WHAT?!!!

has it really only been 3 years since we were cool and hip and didnt look at the girls in H&M wearing fedoras and leg warmers on their arms and judge them out of spite for looking well rested and ready to stay up way past our bedtime? 

 Yep only 3 years and 5 kids ago, between the 2 of us. WOW.

and then my dear friend passed some words of wisdom on to me that her wise mother gave her.

"its not YOUR season"

Its THEIR season. 

the little men in our lives that we both desperately wanted and both had moments when we didn't know if it would happen for us.

and we thank our lucky stars everyday that it has, even though the only thing missing is a big top and we could open our very own circus. 

       

 So as the night wore on we found ourselves at Starbucks sipping on a tall skinny vanilla steamer, which made us cooler just being there and being able to order something with so many syllables. we gushed over pictures of each others kids and embraced the fact that this is not "our season" but another season that we love just as much. 

and just to point out that we still got it, we shut the club down yo!

 and by club i mean starbucks and by shut it down, i mean they close at 10, so they kicked us out!

it was way past our bed time anyway!
