Playgroup

We had playgroup at our house this morning. It was cold outside so we didn't get to play on the playground, but the kids had fun playing inside. Even though Kate doesn't share all the time she likes having her friends over. It's a process to learn to share, right?! This is normal for three year olds, right?! She is getting better. :) We do playgroup through church. So a person plans an activity usually each Thursday and we rotate or take turns planning it every three months. It's worked out really well so far. We try to plan different activities, some at people's homes and others at parks or museums or whatever. We try to keep it mostly free, but some of the activities cost money. I think it's good to get out and have the kids play with other kids and of course, it's nice for the mom's to interact. I planned playgroup for April, May and June. I put down some new parks to try out so we'll see how we like them. But we have a fun ward. There are lots of young couples in it so it's fun to do things like this and actually have people come.

This afternoon while Preston was sleeping, I took Kate outside to play for a bit with Darbi's kids. (Darbi is my neighbor and good friend. In the summer we see each other practically every day because we are always outside!) The sun was shining for a little while, but it was still cold. I can't wait for the warmer weather. Then we ate dinner (we had gyros), I made cookies and then I took off and went to a stamp party at a friend's house. There were 8 of us there and it was a lot of fun. We made 4 cute cards and had fun chit chatting. Good times. :)

By the way, I've never told you how much I appreciate the work you and others have put into planning playgroup. I love going and am glad you do it. You plan great activities.

Your playgroup sounds like a lot of fun. I've never been to ours. I guess I should try it. I would love to see some of the cards you make. I bet they are so cute.

There is nothing like that in my ward. I know that's not too hard to imagine. I love all your playgroup adventures! And one day Kate will learn to share and you'll be dealing with Preston! It never ends.

our ward has playgroup...and I always hope to go and usually work interrupts so that I can't. It sounds like lots of fun!
