This past week has been a busy week for us. But it was good that Chance had I were out of the house a bit the first few days to give Scott plenty of time to recoup from his long flight home on Saturday/Sunday. Our first playdate of the week was on Monday, we went to Nancy's house. Everyone brought their play tents (you can see Anne and Clarabell in the second picture) so the little ones to climb and crawl through. After playing in the yard for a while we walked across the street where there is an old school that the school district had to abandon this year because the building has foundation problems. They have told Nancy that she can come over to use the playground any time she wants until they get the building fixed so we went over to let the kids play.

On Tuesday we went to a playdate at one of our playgroup members, Erica's house. This is a great group to have together because they all have older kids about Chance's age and except for me have babies that are about the same age too so while the little one's played in Sofia's room the babies played in the front of the house. I'm glad that Chance has so many great friends that he loves to play with but am sad that he's being left behind by the group and the shifting family dynamics. Me too for that matter, my days of organizing this group are numbered. Pic # 3 is Chance and Lilly being very nice taking turns drawing on the easel. Pic # 4 is L to R, Andrea with Avi, Erica with Rocco and Debbie with Jack.
Wednesday we took a day off from playdates but Thursday we had a playdate at Delachaise Park. where everyone got together to play on the playground. One of the ladies who lives nearby even brought a little basketball hoop for the kids to play with, which Chance just loved because he has a basketball hoop at home and so he knows just what to do.

This time they were putting rocks down the hole on the top of the orange road cone, not too bad so we left them to it. Pic # 7 Addison and Chance swinging.
Our last playdate of the week was Friday at Audubon Park. Everyone brought their instruments and blankets. The weather was beautiful everyone sat on the blankets and the little ones played music and ran around. One of the Moms brought a bunch of bouncy balls for the kids. Chance loved holding the handle and bouncing all over then pretending to fall over and laughing, then doing it all over again.
