Is that K & M get to play for a good long time with their 'schooly' friends. We had A & J (and mummy S) round for lunch and play today and they were here for about 5 hours. We only manage couple of hours for after school play dates and between them the four girls have something on every week day at the moment.
So they played in the tent that K & M had made out of clothes airers and blankets. They each painted a cotton apron (I bought a pack aaages ago from Bakerross, which were a 'bargain' but had sat in a box for at least a year or two!).

M & J finished first so they went off and played with the wooden train track, while K & A finished their aprons and also watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58fs5yI8K9I&feature=related . J and A are doing space at school and the moment and J painted the planets onto her apron and I remembered watching that video with the girls a while back and thought they'd find it interesting.
We just had a slight problem when it was time for the friends to leave, when S & I were informed that they had planned a sleepover and invited A & J to stay and we were making them break their promises! Since M still usually comes into bed with me in the night, I think sleepovers are a little way off, but S & I agreed to consider it for the summer holidays.

For our first non family sleepover (My parents are cool with co-sleeping too so staying over at Grandma and Grandie's is fine) we had our friends over to stay with their Mummy.
ReplyDeleteThe Daddy One was away on business and I randomly suggested it and it worked really well. The younger ones watched several movies and we Mums drank wine. In the night when people wanted their Mummy it was fine because she was there!!
Just a suggestion.
We don't really have any schooled friends though. I think they got fed up with the awkward questions and different lifestyles!!
