Playgroup on hold...

Hi Everyone!

I really hate to do this, but I think we are going to cancel our playgroup tomorrow and hold our get-togethers until January. My life has gotten kind of crazy lately and unfortunately I have work tomorrow and then December gets crazy with Nate's finals and we're heading out of town to visit family for 3 weeks over the Christmas break. Also Michelle is sick this week and her new little one is due in December, so she'll be out for a while, too. I'm sure you all have crazy schedules around the holidays as well, so this might work out best for everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and we'll start back up after the new year!! See you soon.

Can't Make It

Hi Ladies!

Just wanted to let you know I have sick little girls today, so I won't be making it to Putters. Bummer. Also, I talked to Michelle last night and she has a cold, so I'm not sure she'll be there either. If you are planning on going, please contact someone else to make sure they're going, too. I hate for anyone to be alone. Sorry to ditch out, I'll miss seeing you all! Have a great time and hopefully I'll see you next week.

November's Schedule!

November 3rd: Nursery Room
November 10th: Putters Indoor Playground
November 17th: Nursery Room - Thanksgiving Pot-luck & craft!!
November 24th: Thanksgiving week - No activity.

We'll be doing sign-ups for our pot-luck this month so if you have something in mind you'd like to bring, please let us know in a comment! Also, now that we'll be indoors most weeks, I'd love help planning crafts at the church or special outings (i.e. I'm planning a trip to the fire station), so if you're willing and available please let me know! Hope to see you all soon!

Happy Halloween!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Halloween party this year! We had a great turnout and my girls and I had a great time. The total count for children there was 24…that is awesome!! I know it got a little chaotic, but I am so grateful for the help of so many women from set-up to clean up. You sure made my job easier! For those of you that we missed, we hope to see you next year (and at our weekly get-togethers in the meantime!). Now some fun pictures to enjoy…

Coloring stems for "Pin the Stem on the Pumpkin"

My favorite is that we didn't even blindfold the kids and still none of them got the stem in the right place!

Our attempt at making a cute craft turned into quite the entertainment! What were we thinking handing a bunch of two year-olds suckers and telling them to decorate them instead of eating them? Most kids either ripped off the paper...

....or cried (but doesn't she look so cute!)

...or just ate the sucker anyway

but eventually they turned out pretty cute! :)

Playing a musical witches cake walk!
Some of the fun
Making cute owl cupcakes

If anyone else has fun pictures to share, we'd love to see them!! Oh and now that it is November, I will be working on the schedule for this month. Sorry to be last minute again! :) Check back soon...
