Play Group again?

I don't know if anyone wants to start up the playgroup? Now that it is summer it would be great to get a group together again and do some fun activities to get us out of the house with some friends! The Edwards theater is having their free movies again, it is at 10 am on Tue Wed & Thurs?? I think those are the days, I had a schedule of the movies. Can not find it. I'll post it again when I get the movies and days correct!

We could do the splash park in Rexburg, Zoo, Rigby Lake, Park, walk around the river, lunch, sprinklers at members, etc. More ideas?

What days work best again? I'm good with anytime.

10:30 at the library

Lets meet at the Library at 10:30 to meet Santa.

play date

Santa will be at the library on the 17th of DEC, at 10:30 and 1:30. We could meet up there for a play date. Let me know what time you guys would like to go. Also I was wondering if you guys would like to do a play date this week on Wednesday at the church again. We could bring crafts of our own again that we would like to finish or even do the gingerbread house making like Shara suggested. Or do nothing and sit and talk while the kids play.

Shopping @ the mall?

Need some time to shop at the mall before Christmas? How about a play date at the play area at the mall. Some mothers stay and watch the kids, while the others shop. Then switch off?? Lets decide on a date:) I love the mall, yet not with children:)

play date at the church

Thanks to Becca for talking to the bishop about using the church. And because of that, we are going to have a play date at the church tomorrow Tuesday 11-24-09. It will be in the nursery at 10:30 a.m. and if you would like you can bring a craft to do while your children are playing. Also, if you want to bring a snack to share, you can. Hope to see you there.

meet up

We are going to go to the open gym on Friday morning. If you would like we can meet at my house on 475 J Street a few minutes before 9:00 and carpool and/or follow over to the Recreation Center on 520 Memorial Drive. I haven't been before but have heard it's fun. Hope to see you all there.

Ideas for this winter

Here is some information I got off the city web site. I thought they would be good ideas for a play date. We can schedule something for next week if everyone would like but we might have to change the day we do if we decide to do one of these. I put the ice skating one just for an idea. I also put a link to where I found these at the bottom of the page if you want more info. Just copy and paste into your browser.

PRE-SCHOOL OPEN GYM PLAY GROUP

When it's cold outside and the kids are bored, bring them to the play group at the Recreation Center on Tuesday and Friday mornings. It's only a dollar a kid and they can play in a big indoor space. We have mats on the floor with balls of all sizes, hula hoops, a slide, sit n spin, hippity hops, tunnels and more. The kids love it. They can go crazy! Parents can sit on the side lines or join their kids and play. It's a good activity for the kids during these cold winter months.

This program will run from October 13, 2009 through March 2010.

CANCEL PARTY (Sorry such short notice)

I'm sorry to say we are going to have to cancel the Halloween party. I know its short notice. We had little time to prepare it and there are quite a few people who are sick. I hope nobody is too disappointed. I thought we could start right now to plan a Christmas party with yummy food and games. Let me know what you think.

Leave a comment with an item you want to bring.

walk on wednesday

Its a late start up for the play group. I think everyone has been busy or sick. But were going to have a meet up on Wednesday of this week(the 21st). I thought we could meet up at the church about 11:00 to walk to the river and maybe feed the ducks. Its suppose to be sunny and about 56 f. So dress kinda warm. If the weather changes, like it usually does, and it rains we can meet at my house and the kids can play.

Change?

Is everyone good with changing playgroup to Wednesdays @ 10:30? We also want to go to the zoo again before the weather changes to cold. How is Wednesday the 23rd to start the new change? Any other suggestions are welcomed!

BBQ @ the Park

We have decided to have a BBQ on Thursday the 27th of August starting at 5:30. We will not be having Playgroup on Tuesday. Everyone is invited, Husbands, friends without kids, etc. We will be having it at Tautphaus Park by the blue squishy playground. Bring something to share and your own meat to BBQ or an already cooked main dish with you. Please comment with what you intend to share so we don't show up with similar items. Please comment also if you could bring one or some of the following......

• cups
• plates
• utensil's
• napkins
• soda/drinks/water
• charcoal with fuel.

School

School is starting soon! Is everyone okay with Tuesdays and 11:00? Do we want to switch the days? What is going to work best for everyone? Should we postpone until school starts? Is anyone up for one last Lake day? Or a big end of Summer BBQ? Campout? Suggestions! I'd still love a 'mom's night out' with out the kids! Everyone post or reply!!
