We've decided to participate in some drop-off playdates for the kids with members of our playgroup. Every Monday morning Meredith and two little friends will play at one of their houses while Thomas and I have some "special mommy time". Every Friday morning we'll do the same but Thomas will play while Meredith and I do stuff. The groups are small with only 3 children in each group so the mom who is hosting doesn't get overwhelmed since we all have a second child, too. This morning we hosted the first meetup for Thomas' group which includes a boy and a girl. I think both groups for the kids are going to work out great and having that "special mommy time" with Thomas will be really nice. I know he's really looking forward to it.

The rotating playgroups are for 2 hours but today we also had our little friend Grace over to play
all day long with us! Talk about a fun and long playdate for my two kids! We made volcanoes and erupted them (twice!), we walked down to see the horses, we took turns putting on puppet shows for the others and we snacked together. Later, after the two friends had gone home and Thomas was in preschool, the girls and I baked cookies, colored, read books, and made an obstacle course in the living room. Such a fun day!
