Parks-Not Just for Kids

Alex's next round of ballet started yesterday.
It was also park day...
I love park day, I need park day.
Sure the kids have fun-but let's be honest, it is my chance to get out and talk with the ladies.

Yesterday, I had to decide, was there time for the park, homework and ballet??
Was I insane trying to do all three in one afternoon??

Did I mention park day is my chance for adult conversation?

You bet there was time.

But then Alex was literally laying in the sand.
So before ballet, bath for Alex and shower for Lucas while I hurry and get Ryder down for his nap.

When I got back there was lots of giggling going on and lots of water on the floor.

Lucas was throwing water at the shower wall from inside the shower.. so was Alex-from outside the shower.

Did I mention that I got to have lots of real adult conversation.

Yes, it was worth it.

  1. Maybe THAT is why my kids' bathroom is always soaking wet!

  2. I had a hour everyday between bus drop offs and a group of us would sit and chat while the kids played at the park, instead of walking the half block back home. Oh how I miss those afternoons. Yes it was worth it.

  3. It was worth it. Adult conversation is so hard to come by as a SAHM, so I think we make ridiculous sacrifices to get it. And they have so much fun playing together, how lucky are you?!?

  7. When my kids were really little, like toddler and baby, I didn't have any adult conversation. I would harass telemarketers.

  8. I totally get it. We have playgroup every other week and I look forward to that. And it really does make the rest of the day easier somehow.
