Crazy Times this Summer

We sure are in some odd times. The Corona Virus numbers keep going up, at some point Jacksonville was even a national hot spot! How are you? Are you okay? Are you taking care of yourself? "If Mama 'ain't happy, a'int nobody happy." It's been a struggle to find things to do with kids. Most camps are canceled. We had a water park play date scheduled but then canceled it when local numbers started spiking. People are scared. There is a lot of unknown. The good news is we have MOPS! We are good to go for year number TWO! We are officially registered with MOPS International and got the packet of goodies. The space is reserved for our meetings starting September 3rd at 9:30am. We are working on childcare details and hoping to have lots of outdoor time for the MOPPETS to help with social distancing. Stay tuned for more information. Get signed up with our group officially. Dues are only $30 to be paid to St. Matthews. You can pay by cash or check to the front office of St. Matthews during business hours. Or you can pay with Faith Direct online.

Sign up to Take over a Tuesday on Instagram so we can follow you through out the day. We want to see all the messy parts, too! We did do a park play date one afternoon. We tried to stay distant and it was hot.

The library did an online summer reading program, there were a few online VBSs, neighborhood pools with the chlorine at 7!, lots of walks, way too much screen time! We are trying to make it work. We did a back yard pool party at Kate's in June. We did a back porch girls night at Lucy's in July. It's so fun getting to meet new moms. I think we all needed the night out! We did a beach play date today. It was a great turn out and a good way to hang out, but still stay apart to your comfort level. MOPS is here for you! Come hang out with us!
