The Joy of a Playdate

For anyone out there with younger children, I KNOW you will agree with me when I share my joy about playdates. I know when we were growing up, our moms and dads did not have to plan out our days with playdates and lessons and gym classes but in this day and age it seems to be the norm. I try not to do so. I try o keep each child's life as simple as possible but we still do schedule playdates with those friends we do not see very often. So, as of right now, my house is completely quiet. Parker is napping and Cooper is playing outside happily with a friend. Thank heavens for playdates...... when they go well, they are truly a mom's little gift from God.
