Playdate at the Science Center

I'm living it up for the last two Fridays of the MD Science Center's "Fridays After Five" program. It's kind of our winter hang-out on Fridays, and it's really fun to take friends. This past week we took church friend Cass & her girls, and Hamiltopia friend Jess's son, Ryan (who had no trouble being "The Man" on the trip.)

I do a much better job of spending time w/my girls if I get away from my house. My house has too many distractions and I end up multi-tasking (poorly) while trying to do things with them. Getting out to places like the Science Center, Zoo, playgrounds, or on walks or hikes is the best way for me to "be there" for them.

I'm not going to set aside my desire to learn how to be better at playing games, dollhouse, playing outside, making crafts, and cooking with the girls--I'm just going to enjoy ignoring my weakness at doing those things by getting away from the house now and then!

Here's to a good week for everyone! Enjoy your friends, families, and chew on a truth for good measure. I'm going to chew on God's love today. :)
