Seventh Meeting

I regret that I didn't get any pictures at this meeting. :( We made some great organizational cards to put on the kids' drawers (pants, shirts, underwear, etc.), toy boxes/bins (legos, barbies, cars, etc.) and menu cards (mac & cheese, pb & j, sides, etc.) to give the kids their own choice to eat. Here are the cards I made for my son's drawers. They are already working!
We did an icebreaker next to introduce the newer members and then share adventures we've had as mothers. There were some very funny stories!

MNO at La Costa

Tonight was a lot of fun! Six of us (plus one sleeping baby) ate out at La Costa Mexican Restaurant. Leslie had a great recommendation for Amy and Melissa to try: Pollo Fundito. It definitely looked good.
It was Melissa's birthday, so we HAD to inform our waiter about it! They brought out a sombrero and sang to her!
Don't miss the next one, Ladies!

Making Pillowcase Dresses

Tonight, Kelly hosted several moms to come over with supplies and sewing machines (very graciously, as it was her birthday!!). Dee helped us all to make a pillowcase dress for our daughters. After a lot of time and mishaps, almost everyone completed a dress. We are hoping to do it again soon!

Sixth Meeting

Today Jennifer gave us an encouraging devotion about God's control in this unsettled time, just after the election.
We had a female police officer speak about personal safety, gearing us up for the holidays. One of her most important points was to just BE AWARE of your surroundings. She also gave us some tips about defending ourselves in case of a physical attack and a whistle to carry with us. All the moms had great questions for her and she did a wonderful job of answering them!
Afterward, we played 20 questions. We each had a person, like Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and Denzel Washington, assigned to us and the other moms had to guess who we were. It was a lot of fun!
