A great time with friends

Today has been a great day. I had a lunch "play date". My sister-in-law Jen, along with her 3 children and a friend of ours, Kara, with her little guy came over. We had a fabulous time just letting the kids all play while we sat and ate and visited for 4 hours. I also must add that I made homemade chicken noodle soup for the very first time and it actually came out good AND was low calorie!! woo hoo!! I think I will have to make that again real soon. (anthony actually came out looking to see if there was any left for him *sorry babe*)

We also made plans to start a "baby swap" amongst us. On Mondays, I will be watching all the kids while Jen and Kara have 2 hours all to themselves. Then on Wednesdays I bring my kids and Kara brings her son over to Jens house while Kara and I get 2 hours to ourselves. Then on Thursdays Jen and I bring our kids to Karas house and we get another 2 hours to ourselves.

Im really excited about this. Its been hard to find other moms who stay home and have time to do something with other moms. I am sure I will have LOTS of stories to tell as I watch all these kiddos together but for right now I am focusing on the big question.. "What will I do with my 4 hours of free time???" I am actually really excited about starting back at the gym again to regain my "girlish figure" after having my kids.

Ready or not here I come!
