Mom Play Time

For the first few months of the school year Sherene and I had a standing play date every Wednesday afternoon. Kid free. Sherene had an arrangement with her friend where they did a trade every week. Sherene and I were talking one day about all of the things we'd like to do and that's how the idea popped into her head to ask Brandi if she'd be willing to watch my two kids as well. Brandi was totally on board. That gave us 2 hours a week to go play. We had all kinds of fun. We hit every little shop in town that we've always driven by but have never had the time to go in and check out. We did the same thing in the next town over. We ate lunch at different restaurants. We did some grocery shopping without the hassle of kids. And probably the most fun outing was going to the driving range at the golf course. Those were good times! I was sad to see them end, but Brandi no longer needed to do the trade. It's amazing how just a couple of hours a week of Mom/Friend time can really make a difference.
