The kids ran around in the sprinkler and splashed in the baby pools while us moms chatted, and then we had hot dogs and snacks afterwards.
On to dessert. When I sent out the invitations, I sent a self-addressed and stamped postcard that asked the kids to list some their favorite things - their favorite candy, fruit, ice cream flavor, and color - and send it back to me so I could create a buffet of ice cream toppings. Each kid got his/her own ice cream scoop and (with mom's help) got to scoop their favorite flavor of ice cream into their bowl and spoon on their favorite toppings to make sundaes. I think they enjoyed it.
We let the kids burn off a little sugar-induced energy, then wrangled them to get some group pics.
Oh how I love candid pictures of three year olds.
I'd say our "end of summer playdate" was a success. I guess that means it's time to start planning our "Pumpkin Painting Playdate"...

Ooooh, can't wait for the pumpkin painting playdate! :)
These pictures you will treasure your whole life! I have the one of you and all your friends in sepia tones when you were about 6 years old and I look at it and laugh and remember the good old days and miss you guys so much.
Love the "Un-Birthday Party"!
I wish YOU were MY mom!
Pumpkin painting sounds like fun! Thanks for having us; it was a blast.
Such cute pictures and such a fun party! Oh but wait, you didn't get any pics of Mason's MELTDOWN! Can't wait for the Pumpkin Party!
You have to be the coolest mom around. I need you to move back to central IL so I can come to these fun parties. I'm sure Tim could find a job out here in the middle of nowhere. :)
