No, especially so soon after BD. The only time it's OK to ask is if you're doing something with the kids and inviting her along, but make it clear you are going whether she goes or not. IE, "W, I was going to take the kids to the zoo on Sunday, you're welcome to join if you wish." If she goes then cool. If she doesn't go then fine, you go with the kids anyway. That is the ONLY scenario you should be asking her along for. Don't invite her on dates or anything that is just the two of you together (like watching a movie).
