Play Date

Play dates are hard work! Yesterday Katie and I went with Jenna and her kids to school to survey our situation and get a list started of tasks that needed to be done before the beginning of the year. We didn't get much done.......our room wasn't clean yet and the kids were in to everything! So we decided to ditch that idea and head to the mall to eat lunch.

This idea was no better than the first. It was all fun and games.......until.......some random three year old boy picked Katie up and tried to cart her around. She didn't like that so much! After some crying and little snuggling, she was ready to head back for the playground. Then it got really busy. There were kids everywhere, and it was hard to keep track of a busy one year old! Especially a one year old that thinks it is funny to just run away and disappear! The kids had fun though. We knew it was time to go when Katie stopped playing dead in her tracks, squatted.....and became quite red faced!

We went back to Jenna's for naptime. We layed nap mats out for all the kids to lay on. Katie was NOT having any part of napping. After trying tirelessly to get her to just lay down (that's the first step, right?) I gave up and we headed home kicking and screaming. Oh, the drama of a toddler!

Katie loved riding with her friends....and.....got to watch Dora in the van!
Caroline and Katie shared lots of stickers.
Cleaning mommie's classroom was hard work!
These blocks were so much fun!
Katie was to busy watching out for random kids who could possibly trample her to look at the camera!
