A WILD & CRAZY PLAYGROUP!!!

here is a glimpse of what my house was filled with this morning as we all assembled for our first playgroup:

~ a lot of fun
~ a lot of noise
~ a lot of toys everywhere
~ a lot of squealing
~ a lot of laughing
~ a lot of talking
~ a lot of barking
~ a lot of toys everywhere (did i say that already?)
~ a lot of screaming

and last but not least....
~ a lot of of friendships being built by moms and kids!!!!

today a group of us gathered at my house to have a playgroup. it has been a long time since i have been a part of a playgroup. we do a lot of playdates and sometimes a few of us will get together and let our kids play. i organized this playgroup for some of my friends who mostly know each other from church(old and new) or our old mops group. i thought it would be fun for us to gather once or twice a month and be able to hang out, let the kids play and catch up.

we had a great time today. it went really well. the kids did great and so did the puppies. jaci had her own playdate with her sister, tinkerbell and my friend susan brought her puppy charcoal. all my kids and my puppy are sleeping well!!! we wore them out.

i am looking forward to our next playgroup, although i may have to pass the buck and let someone else host next time!! who's game???

oh and if you are reading this and would like to come and join in on our playgroup, let me know!!! the only requirement is that you like a lot of noise and can handle stepping on a lot of toys!!!
