More social whirl
Right, the other half of what tired me out yesterday. Fun stuff, though. We were invited to a new friend's birthday party. So I drove partway down and met ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
selenite coming from work, then we went down to the house. We had a great time. She had several gaming friends there, including a couple with a 2 year old and a wee baby. Maggie fell asleep in the car - ha, that's what you get for refusing your nap, dear girl - so she slept through most of the party on the hostess's bed. Jamie had fun with the 2 year old, though, and so did Maggie when she eventually woke up.
It was amazingly enough a fairly babysafe place, despite having no kids of their own yet, they've had practice with the visiting 2 year old. This is just amazing to me, one of the things I love about Texas is how just about everywhere we go tends to feel so much more kidfriendly. There were various times when Jamie was wandering and playing with the little girl, and I was sitting at the table chatting and working on my crochet, and I couldn't see him just then, and that was fine. Wow.
We ate, we talked,selenite got to run another testplay of his card game - and they loved it. I got to hold the baby for a while, that got me a very strange look from Jamie. Maggie admired the baby. The kids played running whacking games with balloons. Wheee.
The father of the other kids apparently runs gaming, but hasn't been able to lately, and they live in a small place. I pointed out we have a larger place with a gaming-friendly kitchen overlooking a babyproofed living room, and suggested we should join forces at some point. It would get more playmates for the kids, and more gaming forselenite, this would be good.
We had a really good time. But man, was I tired out. Having to dropselenite off to drive his car home and take over driving the van the rest of the way home was all I could manage. I'm peopled out for a few days, too. Gotta recharge the batteries so I can go enjoy Conestoga this weekend. Wheee.
