Richmond Mommies Playdate

Look at all the kids! Watch out for that boy on the far left - he has a water gun & no scruples!

Drinking deeply...ahhhh! This sprinkler was Mag's favorite.

Waving at mommy across the lawn. Look out for the crazy blonde driver in your rear-view, Magnus - she's not looking where she's going!!

Magnus attended his first play-date yesterday afternoon. To say he had a "blast" would probably be an understatement! I'm part of an online forum group of ladies called "Richmond Mommies", and they hold play-dates quite often. We live farther out than 99.9% of the other mom's though, so this was our first time getting together with them. It was held at one of the "R.M." moms' house, and she had every backyard toy, playhouse and kiddie sprinkler imaginable! Magnus loved the water toys, and even let them spray his face. (So why do I have so much trouble just getting his hair washed in the tub??) A couple of the bigger boys were a menace though, so I had to watch Magnus carefully. They had squirt guns, of all things, and even squirted some moms and small babies in spite of their mothers' harmless "threats", counts to 3, and 30 second "time-outs". (Note to self: these disciplinary measures produce no effectual results.) We were served some anti-salubrious hotdogs afterwards, along with snacks, cupcakes, chips and cookies! Magnus and I will have to go on a vinegar & water diet after all that junk to purge our poor systems!
