Playdates

A play date? That is so cute. Was this something that they set up at school? Where are they going for the date? It must be to the park or something like that. When my oldest niece was about 6 or seven, I was babysitting my friends four boys while she went to work. One day, I only had the six year old. I went to pick up my niece who was living down the street. I don't remember the name of the hamburger stand, but I had them pretending like they were on a date. It was the cutest thing.

You sure know how to take care of your child, I hope he enjoys his time out!;) It seems that you're also having some time out of your own, don't feel bored but look for ways to enjoy it. I do many things when am alone and quiet, like reading my favorite books or even look for something interesting for me on the net (like new computer games that I can buy). Try doing something else, like that of what always thought of doing -when alone. Like singing, grab a mic and belt out your way through your favorite songs!;) That's one good way of enjoying and passing our "quiet" time here, just nevermind them neighbors!LoL Well that's just an idea, so I hope that you do find

I'm just sitting here reading and responding on mylot because I'm bored too. My son just pushed one of our kitchen chairs over here and our computer so now he's sitting here watching me type and eating his sucker. I'm sure he won't sit here for long though before he's trying to type with me. LOL

I love when the little one has playdates and so does she! In fact she is going on one this weekend with the little girl she has been best friends with since she started nursery just over 3 1/2 years ago. Her friend moved a few miles away last year but has stayed at the same school but now her parents have decided it is time to move her to the school that is a 5 minute walk away instead of one that they have to drive all the way through town traffic to to drop her off and pick her up. She is so looking forward to the weekend - it is weird as she has friends over and goes to their houses regularly but she is doubly excited about this one. You are bored - you silly sausage - you should be relaxing , have a long bubble bath, read a book or whatever you fancy! Right now I am lying down with the laptop listen to my daughter coughing and hoping it eases off and she has a good sleep tonight as she hasn't for ages! lol xxx

i think it's a great idea to give him some food to bring along. i think his friend's mom would definitely appreciate that you packed enough for both of them. i guess that's the dilemna of a parent. when kids are not there, suddenly it seems very quiet! i guess if you had a hobby like scrapbooking, now would be a good time to do it!

Always enjoy that quiet time! Its rare at my house (if not impossible) as I have five kids ages 12 down to 3. LOL Right now I'm working on making dinner for the kids. LOL It never ends...

My girls have no school tomorrow so my husband took them and one friend each snowboarding. It's cheaper at night so they have gone for the evening. I am all on my own tonight. I'm not too thrilled that he is spending money we don't have but he considers this a once-a-year outing with the kids so I just have to accept it. And no, I can't go with them. With my fibromyalgia there is no way in heck you will find me out on any snow hill. And it is mild today, rather damp. I'm in quite a bit of pain. I'm best on my own tonight I guess.

Must be nice to have some quiet time. I'm here on the computer while my two oldest is doing homework and my baby is playing. The tv is out because its raining so hard here. At least the kids won't be distracted by the tv so maybe they can get their homework done at a reasonable time. Then maybe we'll break out rock band for the 360 and play it for a little while.
