Dog Days of Summer

Beat the summer heat by catching up with what we've been up to. Maycember about did us in, thus the lag in posting! Let's recap our spring first. Our first March meeting, Calligraphy by Cami taught us hand lettering techniques. It was something new and different for a chilly spring morning.

Spring break threw a wretch in our second meeting of the month plan. We spiced it up with a rainy day at MOSH then Mellow Mushroom pizza.

When the Trinity Indoor playground was closed one day, we discovered a new indoor playground right down the road at the Evangelical Temple off I-10.

For our first meeting in April we did a group yoga class. It was such a hit that we went to the studio to make it a girls night with some hot yoga. I love how the yoga meeting always seems to be perfectly timed when we need a breather the most. Some of us get into it, nailing the poses. Some of us spend the whole time in downward dog deep breathing. Something for everyone!

Hot Mom Yoga!

One Tree Hill play date

Celebrating National Donut Day with a Donut Playdate!

The second meeting in April, Erin Pruett, Licensed Mental Health Counselor came to help us get in the right headspace before summer hit and kids came home. Talk about perfect timing!  We play dated on a road trip berry picking and hiking ravines. Celestial Farms and One Tree Hill are always huge hits. We saw the Magic School Bus at the Florida theater. Last minute park play dates seem to always be the best attended. That's the phase of life we are in, I guess. If we plan it, something will come up. A great way to beat the heat are the free splash pads around town. 

   

Our last meeting was Tacos and Testimonies where we celebrated each other and discussed what MOPS has done for us this year. It's such a powerful meeting, even if you have to evacuate the building due to a gas leak...

And now it's summer. And it's hot. Our houses are a mess. We've done lots of library story times. We haven't gotten together for a moms night out, which we all need. Kate tried to put together one. Anne has another one on the calendar in a few weeks, "We made it through the summer!" Registration is out! Watch the theme video here and come join our group! Let's do this TOGETHER!

The libraries around town do some amazing kids programs!
