Playgroups and projects

This week has seriously flown by. We cleaned like mad on Monday, and then Tuesday hosted our little neighborhood playgroup. The house was spotless, until 10+ children arrived. Now I used to host these playgroups periodically when we all had babies, and the babies did not move much. Then the playgroup group dwindled down to about 4 moms + their 1 toddler, and some with 2 (a toddler and newborn). It was very manageable, and given the size of my house, it was doable.

Tuesday was a different story. I didn't mind inviting new recruits, but my house isn't big enough for 8 moms, 8 2-year-old, and 3-4 newborns. It just isn't. I feel like playgroups are a chance to relax, talk with other moms, and let Miss L get a little socialization, but when you can't hear above the roar, I think it is just too much. I think it will be the last one I host for a while.

I think the ideal playgroup at least at my house is 3-4 moms, and no more than 4 toddlers. Maybe I will feel differently when we can send the kids outside to the backyard.

On a different note, the rest of the week has been relaxing. I have determinded to finish my sewing projects so I can start a quilt for the little one. I finished the top of this one (it has been on the back burner for 'em 3 years now). What do you think? I have no real purpose for it, so it is kind of a waste, but at least it will be done and I can move on to the delicious Turtle quilt I am planning.
