Playgroup for August 31

This week playgroup will be the quilting service project to finish up the quilts we made for foster kids in June. The activity will be in the park directly behind the Jone's backyard, somewhere were it is shady and nice. I might be able to get two frames up, and if that's the case we might be able to work on another quilt (possibly one from the baby shower? What do you think Sam?). The kids are welcome to play in Michelle's backyard as well as in the park.
As most of you may already know, I am probably going to have a baby in the next few weeks, so I thought I would post the September schedule so everyone at least is aware of what's going on, even if I can't attend or email you all reminders. It'll be pretty low key. I also know that with school starting the 11:00 time slot may not be as desirable as another time. Mother's with kids in school, would an earlier time be better? Please let me know so we can make adjustments to accommodate the most people. See you all tomorrow!

Playgroup for August 24th

This week we will have playgroup at Memorial Park at 11:00. I think school starts that day for some of your kids, but the kindergartners don't start till September (right?) so I was thinking we could have a celebratory/commissatory (depending on how you view it) potluck lunch. Just bring whatever you want to share with the rest of us, it'll be really casual. I"ll try and bring some plates, cups, utensils and water to share.

Next week is our service day. We'll be finishing up the quilt from the RS activity in June and also working on some quilts Sam Anderson will bring. We'll be meeting at Michelle Jones house, but in the park directly behind her back yard so we can take advantage of more prevalent shade. The kids can play in her backyard and in the park near us, so we should be able to supervise fairly well. See you all tomorrow!

Playgroup for August 17th

Playgroup for this week will be in my backyard. We'll be doing simple water activities, and if anyone wants to bring water slides, toys, etc that would be awesome. I'll have a baby pool set up, a sprinkler and the swing set. Feel free to bring your lunch if you want. It looks like our service activity for this month will be finishing up the other quilt for the Relief Society project started a few months ago, and also tying the quilts recently made at Sam Anderson's house for the baby showers. The location is still to be decided, but if someone wants to volunteer their house, just let me know! Oh, and we'll also need those quilting frames... anyone know who they belonged to so I can contact them? Also, for those of you who have not heard we got two new teachers (Katrina Espinoza and Sister Otake) and we're way excited for them to join our group! Thanks to everyone who helps out and makes playgroup possible and run smoothly. See you tomorrow!

Playgroup for August 10th

Hello everyone! Playgroup for this week is going to be at the Boys and Girls Club. Bring your lunch if you wish and a friend if you can! I've heard that there are a bunch of new people that have moved into the ward in the two weeks that I was gone, so if you know any of them or if they live by you, please make sure they get an invite so we can all become better acquainted. Also, if anyone has an idea for a service project for this month, please contact me or Yvonne Russell so we can get the ball rolling. See you all tomorrow!
