the enrichment meeting was fun, but it was a little cramped. : ) i asked a couple of the moms if it was horrible and uncomfortable, and they said it was perfectly fine... but they probably just said that to make me feel good. : ) i can't wait until i have a bigger house and can host more things! it really wasn't all that bad... the couch and dining room chairs provided seating for six, we rolled the computer desk chair in for one more, and the rest sat on the floor. i just felt so bad for the moms sitting on the floor, especially the one who was about nine months pregnant, and actually ended up giving birth the very next morning! i also felt bad about not providing anything yummy to drink. the day before i didn't make it to the store to buy juice and stuff, so all we had was ice water. oh well... i'll do better next time.

after the meeting, two of the moms, alison and miranda and their kids stayed over and we walked down to the park to enjoy the freakishly warm weather. it was fun; we had lots of good conversation while the kids ran and played in the sun. rowan and alison's youngest, marlowe, both ended up falling asleep in the baby swings.

yesterday morning we had more park time at the LLL dallas playgroup. about eight other moms showed up, and the kids all had a blast on the playground together while the moms sat in the covered pavillion and chatted. i am lovin' this warm january weather. : ) plenty of opportunities to get outdoors!

this weekend, we've only got a few fun plans, and the rest of the time will be spent at home relaxing and cleaning up.

*sigh* You are your own worst critic! Your house wasn't spacious but it had a nice feeling to it, and it was clean. The playroom was perfect and the kids all had a blast playing in there! Most of us in LLL are pretty healthy eaters and prefer water to anything else to drink; at least I do! I didn't say anything just to make you feel better, either, and I don't appreciate you saying that about me! I can't speak for the other moms, of course, but they all seemed happy enough to me.
You rock for hosting an event at your house!
