MoPs is back! and Labor Day!

I am so excited that today was our first MoPs (Moms of Preschoolers) meeting of the year! I love this time to sit  and talk with other moms and make new friends and just know that I am not along in my SAHM struggles. And I love to make treats to take with me and share. We all bring something to share each time and there is always way too much delicious stuff. This time I made Oreo Popcorn and it was delicious :) And there was some left to bring home, too. I am looking forward to the new year with this group and all of the fun things that are planned. One of my favorites is Moms Night Out! Ella usually protests when I am not there for bedtime but always does okay without me. She and Luke both did great in the nursery today too, the workers are wonderful and know just what to do to keep the kids happy while they are in there.

We also had a fun Labor Day weekend at the lake! We left EARLY Friday morning to go down so that Brandon could work. We always have so much fun there playing with GG and Grandaddy and Mimi and Papa. We missed aunt Steph being there this time though. The kids favorite things to play with were the brooms that GG had outside. Luke spent the majority of his time sweeping the deck. I had to pry it out of his hands and drag him inside screaming just to get him to eat or do anything else. :) ha. We went swimming and on a couple of boat rides and fed the ducks and the fish. Luke quacked at the ducks whenever he saw them. This trip was special because Ken and Sue were there from England! Ella loved them of course, she loves to entertain people so the more eyes on her, the better! They always bring them the cutest clothes, too! I am not sure what it is about the clothes from England but they are SO soft and Sue picks the best stuff!
