We joined our UU church in the fall, and the older boys have been going to (separate) RE classes. They really love it, and there are a few kids they talk about wanting to get together with outside of church. However.. I don't know who any of these kids are or who their parents are. The classrooms are right next to the coffee hour area and it's a complete madhouse, and I struggle to keep an eye on my four (even with my husband helping).. trying to track down a family to somehow make enough conversation with to set up a playdate is just.. ugh.
So.. how should I go about this? We don't really know anyone at the church yet. I have talked with the woman who teaches Colwyn's class (she's very enamored with him, and loves to tell me how awesome he is). We're in kind of a weird spot with our homeschool group and haven't been seeing a lot of friends lately, and the few we do see are more Lachlann's age than Colwyn's age. Not a big deal really, but I'd like to make sure Colwyn hangs around with kids his age or a little older, too.
