Anatomy of 2 Playdates

M had a playdate at Brett's house on Tuesday.

My SIL called to see if we'd be interested in a playdate, with my 2 nieces, at our house on Tuesday.

And thus 2 playdates were born.  It was an interesting experiment for me.  I got to see first hand how innately different boys and girls are.  I will list the events that occurred at each playdate and you can decide for yourself - was it the boys' playdate or the girls' playdate?

Playdate 1, with descriptions of event, straight from the children's mouths.
1.  We played with Nerf guns and tarts. (I think this child meant darts.)
2.  We played on the swing set and saw dog poop!
3.  We played with army guys.
4.  We ate peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, lots and lots of Oreos, a Popsicle and 1 gumball.
5.  We dressed up as ninjas and Transformers, then rode on the firetruck.
6.  We played birds, and jumped off the couches.

Playdate 2, with descriptions of event, straight from the children's mouths.
1.  We ate pasta and grapes for lunch.
2.  We used makeup, but not any nail polish.
3.  We made necklaces with the squishy beads.
4.  We decorated 2 chocolate chip cookies with pink and red and white sprinkles and hearts.
5.  We played "Angelina Ballerina" and did ballet.
6.  We had a pretend birthday party.
