Today, we are going to spend the afternoon with another home school family. We have known the Parker's for a couple of years now and spend time together on occasion. Some of our children are around the same age and get along really well. It is nice for my kids to get some time around some other kids once in a while and we mothers have a nice time chatting as well!
I do not spend time with other families(other than relatives) very often. Since we have moved to the country, we really haven't seen too many other families. Our church is very small and there are only a couple of other children there. I used to be a member of a home school group and we did outtings with them once in a while, but with gas prices right now, we have cut that out as well. The funny thing is that this is not a major problem for my children. They enjoy eachother's company and they now have granny and papa's to visit whenever they want, as well as all the extra things to find to do around here.
So, if there is anyone you haven't seen in weeks or months and you can sense that your children are needing a little outting, give that person a call and get together for the afternoon. Take some time to visit with another mother for a while and let the kids run free!
So, I am going to get things done so I can head on over there and have a nice little visit!
God bless!
