Friday

On Friday's we go to my friend Kathy's house. 

 

When Jake was a baby I belonged to a playgroup called Busy Bee's. There was a "difference in opinion" about child rearing and a group of us split off and became OC Playgroup. After a few months, I became the owner of the group and we met at my house each week at my house for almost two years. Then we started meeting at Kathy's house weekly and she took over ownership of the group. We are now finishing up our third year together!

Today was especially fun. It is so much cooler at her house than mine since she lives closer to the coast. Also, she has a backyard filled with water toys and a shaded pool. The kids run around and swim. We all eat lunch. They play some more. And all us Mom's get to talk our heads off and fight over who's kid is the cutest. I think we are truly blessed because we have all become such great friends and we love having new members come into the group and become great new friends. The kids all get a chance at sharing, even the little only child ones. And the older ones, like mine, get to try their hand a patience with little ones. It is a wonderful day for all of us. Except Kathy, who gets to clean up the mess. But I think she likes it! I know I always did.
