A Lot of Firsts for Mommy

09.09-12.13

I love dressing Kinsey for dance class!  This is last year's costume from the end of the year recital.

I went to my very first Relief Society tonight and the theme is Who's Who?  We were asked to bring a few things in a bag to represent who we are or things we like.  I brought weights, my la Madeleine cookbook, my fancy Julia Childs cookbook (I love to cook but only quick and easy recipes so this cookbook is never used), a sequin scarf (I love fashion and things that sparkle!) and the latest blog book (I love to document everything about our family!).  After the ladies arranged our items on a table and numbered them, we were given a sheet and had to guess which items belonged to each person there.  I've talked to a few ladies but hardly know anybody so this was very interesting.  The fun part was when the ladies got up to talk about their items.  I discovered one lady that loves the same things I do so I'm looking forward to getting to know her (Dana).  Then, we ate these precious cupcakes.  It was a fun evening!

I took the kids to the park Wednesday afternoon and we had fun.

On Thursday, I went to my very first MOPS meeting and a lot of Rules of the Road and what to expect was covered today.  Kinsey was not happy when I left her in the 3-4 year old child care room but she was a happy camper when I picked her up.  I am assigned to the yellow table and our table leader is Lindsey.  We also have a table mom (all of these ladies are empty nesters) but I can't remember her name.  Our next meeting is in two weeks and we were asked to write a question on an index card for all of the table moms to answer.  I just realized that I need to get a picture of the ladies at my table.
