This morning marked the official start of summer switching play dates with my friend Heather. Once a week, I get her daughter Isabelle for the morning/lunch, and another day each week I drop Ellie off at her house for the morning/lunch. It's just as easy to feed two kids as one, and it's so nice not to have to do lunch on our days off!
Isabelle came over this morning, and I felt that I should have paid Heather for the privilege! The girls played happily (okay, somewhat loudly, occasionally slightly obnoxiously, and very giggly, with lots of running at full speed around the house) all morning, and I never had to interfere or suggest things for them to do. I did a long Bible study on the couch, tidied the house, read a chapter of an organizing/simplifying book, and was inspired to clean the oven and stovetop. It was a great morning.
Anyone else want to do playdates? I need to do more of these! They make life so much easier!

If I lived closer I'd be in for some playdates! But that is a really good idea... usually we do playdates with both moms present, but why not do an exchange and someone gets a break?
You know we're always game :)
