Today we had a play date at our house. It is not an easy endeavor to host anything way out here in the country but we tried. Alyssa Kate was so happy that so many of her little friends came to play and I was so happy that so many mommy friends came to play! :) I was fearful it would rain but it held off and was just warm and quite humid. The kids did not mind and ran their little tails off swinging, throwing the balls, playing golf, driving the Jeep and riding various other toys. After playing for was while they ate their lunches picnic style outside, the mommies were smart and ate inside away from the humidity. After lunch were ice cream sundaes made to order. Inside while the kids played we all talked about what else but our kids and played with each others babies. There were 6 babies, all quite adorable and very smiley. There were a few minor injuries (mostly Alyssa Kate) and few squables but all in all it was very nice! I count it such a blessing to have wonderful Christian women to not only hang out with but to share this time of my life with while attempting to navigate this winding road of motherhood!

Apparently it is a family trait to stick out your tongue when smiling :)

Picnic Fun

When I was in the shower tonight Alyssa Kate came into the bathroom and said "Mommy, I had a lot of fun playing today, I love you" then quickly ran off to play. That was a perfect thank you :)

Honestly. I do have a black baby.
It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! We were planning on coming, but the morning of I forgot and slept in since DJ was home. Maybe next time! Glad it was a good turn out!
Thanks for hosting! Greyson loves to play Alyssa Kate's swing set and to drive her Barbie Jeep. Who cares if it's pink, he's secure enough in his manhood ;)
