Playdates = Sanity on a rainy day

Actually playdates equal sanity on any day for a stay at home mom. I'm so thrilled with our preschool class set up this year, the moms are really nice and social! Three years we've been at this preschool and this is the FIRST time there has been a playdate/group! Today we were invited, with some other friends to Donovan's house (picture Luli swooning at the idea). Donovan has a lil' brother who is also in Fiona's class. Also at the playgroup were our friends Luca and Kieren who are brothers and in Luli's and Fiona's classes respectively, and our new friend Jack who is in Fiona's class. It was a great time and Miss Tanya even made cinnamon muffins for snack! The group was so sweet and played really nice (yet loud) with all the toys. Miss Tanya also had a craft, necklace making. The kids loved it and Luli and Fiona have worn theirs all day! Miss Tanya's husband was also home and he was so lovely with the kids, helping some kids with craft while the mom's were in the playroom, and chatting with the ladies when we were all together. I love seeing interactive Dads, that's one of the greatest things about raising a family today it is much more a team effort on behalf of Moms and Dads. Dads who make that decision to be an equal member of the team reap so many benefits from special relationships with their kids. I'm so thankful Oscar is a team player, and sometimes carries this team without complaint.
