MOPS Mania

I have not blogged about this mainly because there hasn't been time lately! I have taken over as MOPS Coordinator for our chapter. For those who aren't aware, MOPS is an international organization for Mothers of Preschoolers. We meet twice a month, have guest speakers, eat breakfast, do a crafty activity & most importantly get a break from our babies! I got involved in MOPS last spring after Connor was born and grew to enjoy it very quickly. Once the semester ended, I was approached about taking over and after a few weeks of chewing on it, I accepted. There is a lot to orchestrate for a MOPS meeting and I only have 1 semester under my belt!

Well, we had our first meeting today and I believe it was a success. Not everything went according to plan, but it all ran smoothly and everyone seemed to have a good time. Walking out of there though, all I could think about was the next meeting and working on it now! This is a bigger job than I would have imagined. I could easily put 15 hours a week into it. Thankfully I have a team of other moms who are helping me plan and execute our meetings. I need 3 more moms to have a 'complete' team though. Let me know if you're interested! Ha ha!

Connor really enjoyed himself too. He is so social; he loves anytime he gets to play in the nursery with other babies. Here he is with one of his teachers, Ms. Melanie. Ms Linda wasn't there yet, but they both love him so much I have no trouble leaving him! I know he is well cared for. I told Matt it was like today was Connor's first day of school!
