"boys might be coming over."

That announcement is made almost every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in our house.

Two weeks and two days ago, I visited Oakwood to find my friends Luke and Kevin.
I ended up meeting their friends Keelan and Christian, among others.
I had made cupcakes and I invited them over.
They didn't come that night.
I made more cupcakes on Saturday and they all came over on Sunday.

Boy, did they get more than cupcakes.
We had them move our entertainment center, beast of a thing, and wedge our TV into it.
And then Kevin discovered a trapdoor in one of our hall closets.

So Casey, Melisa, Keelan, and I explored.
The door leads to a crawlspace that goes under our entire house, North and South sides.
It's all sand and spider webs and probably the skunk that hangs out around the house.
We had a great time down there, tormenting our neighbors by pounding on their floor, taking pictures, and just sitting in the dark and dirtiness.
We also found some old newspapers and books and other assorted junk.
A song was written about this adventure.
If we're facebook friends, or you're friends with Casey, you can check it out.

I don't think any boys came over last weekend, because it was a weird weekend of most of us being gone.

But there were guys here every night this weekend.

Friday, after the soccer game, Luke, Christian, and a guy named Jeremy came over and we and Casey watched 'Transformers."
It was the first time I'd seen it.
And I didn't really pay attention, so I don't get it at all.

Last night, I went to dinner with a group of friends that included to guys.
We came back here for a brownie-marshmallow dessert that I had made.
(That's part of the reason why the guys came over on Friday, too.)

And tonight Kevin, Keelan, Christian, and Sean came over for the mocha cupcakes I made this afternoon.

It's just fun to have boys over, especially these ones.
They're smart, they're funny, no one's trying to impress anyone else.
It's just a good time for all of us.
And it includes baked goods, so everyone's happy.

But I have a tip jar now, in order to fund my habit. :-)

Next weekend, I'm making dinner.
