The anticipated playdate!

As I mentioned before, we had to cancel a playdate we had planned because Riley was sick. Boo hoo! Well, everyone is healthy in our house so we had our rescheduled playdate today! Yahoo!
Our friends were not coming over until the afternoon, so this morning I gave the kids a bath. Not our usual routine, but because Bob and I were out Friday and Sat night (kids were with Grandparents!) they were in need of a bath big time! Riley and Madison loved their morning bath and morning playtime was just enough to allow their hair to dry before their morning nap! We played in their room. Madison was "talking" on her play phone (a favorite thing to do) and Riley had flipped over the ottoman from the rocker and was using it as a play horse! These kids are a hoot!












After their morning nap, I fed the kids lunch as usual and then we were off to the grocery store to gather Thanksgiving supplies. It was crowded, but kinda fun at the same time. Whenever we return from the grocery, Madison and Riley LOVE to play with the paper grocery sacs! They put things in them, run around with them and even put them on their heads. A great source of entertainment!










Riley and Madison were worn out from their morning and had a great afternoon nap. Then it was back to playing only this time they had 3 new playmates! We had such a fun playdate! They got to play with another set of twins only 6 months younger than they are as well as a little girl the same age as they are. How fun! It was great for me too because I got to chat with friends for a bit! I think it is good for M and R to learn to share toys and play with other kids. They did a pretty good job, but are still working on that sharing thing...
Needless to say, I think we will all sleep very well tonight after a really fun and active day!
