Super Playdate!

Because 4 little girls just aren't enough, we decided to add one to the mix! On Thursday Teena was taking care of another girl from the preschool so the mom could stay home to look after their older daughter who was home sick from school.



They sure kept busy but frequently still wanted our input on what to do. After playing in the backyard for a bit, we headed off to the park to play there. I had thought they'd just run around and play there but nope, every few minutes they were back wanting more ideas.



We blew bubbles, had races, climbed on the equipment, used the swings, played Simon Says... we were running out of ideas!








After awhile we dropped off Miss E at her house and then the girls and I went home. Everyone had had enough playtime and was getting tired and cranky! While we were driving home, I decided to drop in on my cousin in law, Sharon and her kids and we had another little visit there.
I pulled into Murray's parking lot at about quarter to five, picked up the dog and beat it for home to make supper. He & Lovey had a date planned for icecream so he was coming home early to be able to eat & take her out & get back in time for me to leave for choir. He was quite surprised to find the table set & dinner ready to serve when he walked in! Sometimes, I'm just that good :)
All the way in the car Lovey kept telling him how excited she was to be going out for her treat (that'll be 20 beans please!). She picked cherry vanilla and he had strawberry and she kept up a steady stream of conversation the whole time they were gone. They have so much to say but don't always have a chance to get a word in edgewise around here! Then on the way home she told him she was happy they went out together, just all by herself with Daddy. :)
