End of School Playgroup & Fun at Christine's

We went to a playgroup today at another Atlanta Momma's house named Heidi. She is a school teacher, so she planned a End of School playgroup now that she is home with her son for the summer. There were a lot of older kids there, so I knew Alex would have a good time. He met a boy named Jeran at Lost Mountain Park the other day and they really hit it off and he was there as well. The kids put their swimsuits on and ran through the sprinkler then came in and ate hot dogs.

After we left we went over to Christine's house. She is always complaining that I never come over there, so at least now I have at least a week before she can say anything. :) We hung out for awhile while the kids played and then we headed home. We stopped by the grocery store on the way home and there was a guy talking on his cell phone and cussing up a storm. I hate when people do that when kids are within earshot! We got home and had Alex's favorite, sausage gravy, for dinner. Jason came to pick him up shortly after dinner and Jon went out with his work friends to play spades, giving me some time to fulfill my internet needs. I tried to feed Alyssa peaches tonight for the first time and she didn't want anything to do with them. She made a terrible face and spit them out all over the place. I swear. She is going to go straight from the boob to eating cheeseburgers.

East Cobb Park

We went to East Cobb Park today. I met another mom named to Lynn to show her some diapers and the Ergo since she is thinking about making the leap into cloth diapering. It was a really nice day. The first part of the day was awesome, weather wise. We ran into some wild girls that Alex was chasing around the playground. One of them accidentally knocked Kaitlyn down though and that was sort of a disaster. Then apparently one of them said something mean to Kaitlyn and made her cry. She is my more sensitive child that way, so she was pretty upset I wasn't sorry to see them leave and of course Kaitlyn got over it pretty quick.

Jon and I watched Freedomland tonight. I have to give this one two thumbs down!! Samuel L. Jackson and Julianne Moore were in it. I guess it was based on the Susan Smith situation where a white woman claimed she was carjacked by a black man with her child in the car. I didn't think it flowed well at all. I guess the acting done by Julianne Moore was pretty good, but the plot was all over the place. The best part about it was when it was over.
