Playdates 101

Now that Maddie is sleeping really good at night, our social life is resuming back to normal. Last week, we had a playdate everyday...yes, kid playdates and adult playdates. So what makes a successful playdate? Lets take a look back last week.

Monday: Mommy Playdate

-Success....Went out for dinner during Austin Restaurant Week with Julie. Good food, beautiful night, good company. Embraced the adult conversation and didn't worry about the girls....hard to do, but with practice you will actually enjoy yourself.

Tuesday: Daddy Playdate

-Success: Mountain Biking and Beer. Enough said.

Tuesday: Maddie Playdate

-Success: Met up with a Momma from Prenatal Yoga who has an adorable little girl a week or so older than MM. They slept, we caught up, and K got frozen yogurt.

Wednesday: Mommy/Daddy Date Playdate

-Needs improvement: After a stressful hectic day, I didn't want to go. But before we got married, we vowed to have date-nights regardless have how many kids. Aunt Melissa & Uncle Kev were gracious enough to watch TWO kids. So, we went out to a nice dinner and had good conversation about our kids. ha. Until Singapore called E for work, his boss just moved over there so he needed to talk. And the boss DID apologize for interrupting the first date after baby#2. It was nice, but I know we can do better. ;)

Thursday: Family Playdate

-Success: Went for a walk as a family. Nothing out of the ordinary, but when you name it a "Family Playdate"....K gets excited.

Friday: K's Playdate

-Success: Oldest friend Blake came over and boy are they silly. They wore each other out so much, both were asleep by 7:30PM! Total success.

Saturday: Group Playdate

-Success: Had a few adult/kids over. Kids played while the Adults had to much fun drinking sangria and homebrews. You know it was a good playdate if it started at 2PM and lasted to 11PM...lol. ;)
