the playdate

Today, we hosted our first playdate. Jacob’s friend, Jake came over to play this afternoon. The boys had a great time and everything went smoothly. Jacob was disappointed when Jake’s dad arrived to pick him up. But, like Brian said, any time before 11pm probably would’ve been too early for the boys.

We put the dogs in the family room because who really wants to have to deal with two little boys and two dogs running around? (Especially since I still have a migraine today.) The girls did well down there (having some rawhide to chew on didn’t hurt things). I took the first shift of watching the kids, so Brian went to the shop for a little while to work on the end table he’s been building. While Brian watched the kids, I planted a few seeds for my garden (indoors). By few, I mean 48 plants. I’m not sure if I’m going to have enough room to plant everything indoors this year–I’ll have to figure something out regarding that for sure. I mostly planted herbs today because I’m putting in a bigger herb garden this year. The good thing is that I won’t need to replant most of these herbs next year because a lot of them are perennials. I also planted some broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

Anyway, the bad thing about this playdate stuff is that Jacob wants to have everyone from daycare over at some point. I don’t know if I’ll ever be up for that…
