So I'm raising my kids to be geeky and socially awkward.... just like me.
My son is 4 and has had exactly ONE drop-off playdate. His bestest daycare buddy started kindergarten this year. I took Sweet to her house on a Friday evening and they ordered pizza and played in her back yard for about 2 hours. Tuff & I ran errands and stopped at the park for a quick swing.
So last Friday was Halloween and we met up with Kae, Princess & Flower after a quick trick-r-treat of the downtown walking mall businesses. Where did we meet? A bar, of course. Blackfoot's new "Church of Beer" to be specific. The place was packed and our 4 soon joined a hoard of other costumed pee-wees staring through the glass windows overlooking the brewing area. What was so fascinating? The beer making process or the gorilla masks? We don't know.
Kae & I made big plans. Let's have a playdate on Tuesday. So we did it. We spent several hours and even mooched lunch. The kids couldn't wait to go. Tuff gets all bright eyed and happy and says, "Swing set???" in that hopeful little girl voice. Sweet wants to bring all of his transformers.
They played well. Princess was "Sleeping Beauty" and Sweet was "all the boy parts... the prince & the dragon & stuff." Tuff taught Flower how to jump off the couch and Sweet showed Princess how to monkey completely around the room couch-to-couch-to-chair without touching the ground. Sorry 'bout that.
