I think it's kinda crazy to introduce kids to every guy she try to date. I think that's not fair to the kids...
I don't think she should do that, until you both decide to go forth with the relationship.
I would just cancel the date, buddy's wife's friend or not. I would just say, "Oh, you couldn't get a sitter? Why don't we do this another time, then, when we can focus on getting to know each other?" and then never call her.
1. I hope she's not going to try to sucker punch you into paying for all of them. She should pay for her kids.
2. She's an idiot. Even though you have people in common (so she might be thinking she's not offering her whole family up for a machete job), what kind of mother just brings a man she barely knows into her kids' lives like that? "And here's Uncle Marshall. No, he's different from Uncle John, Uncle Tim, and Uncle Pete."
Some guy did that to my sister. They were on a POF date and out of nowhere he springs on her that they had to stop and get his 15-year-old son after baseball practice. The kid got in the car, mumbled a "hi" and stared out the window the whole time, probably thinking, "Another one."
That's incredibly rude of her, to just call and TELL you what will be happening, on top of that not telling what the ages are? In addition to all that, I'm thinking her a questionable parent taking kids on a first date.

What is wrong with people indeed. I'm gonna go the opposite direction from most of the others here. You agree to go out on a date with a single mother, knowing that as a SINGLE mother it might be tough or expensive for her to find a sitter, and you get upset that she might need to bring the kids along? Why did you bother to "give her a shot" knowing she was a single mother if you didn't want to deal with her kids? Exactly what was it you were giving her a shot at? If you don't want to deal with kids fine, don't date a single mom. Maybe her mentioning bringing the kids along was a test to see if you were really serious about her, because if you are, you wouldn't mind the kids at all. If not, do her a favor and don't waste her time.

So many dumb people out there. Good grief.
^^^ THIS!!!
Kids do NOT take meeting new people casually. It could make them feel very threatened, insecure and sometimes even unsafe if it is premature.
Mother job as a parent is to protect her kids from physical and emotional harm, and until she is SURE this will be a safe, trusting relationship with this person, it is best to simply keep them from spending time together.
Bringing kids to first date is very irresponsible, and this woman seems to be too desperate to care.
