The Crosby Crew: Mommy and Me

Thursday, March 21, 2013

So at church my calling in our ward is the Mommy and Me group.

Easy enough?!

There are lots of young mom in the ward with little ones that aren't in school yet. So this is mainly a scheduled play date/ support group for moms. We meet about every other week, or twice a month. Today we had an easter theme. I'm still new to the group and getting used to how things work, but we had crafts, a snack, and a lesson to teach the kids the true meaning of Easter. Now it was obviously short since their attention span was short, but it was fun. The decorated Easter Eggs on paper with foam stickers and crayons. I was in charge of another craft, and so I made bunny ears for the kids to color. I forgot to snap some pictures of them all wearing them but they were so cute running around with the big floppy ears. After the crafts we sat in a circle and talked about the resurrection. Then we went on a little scavanger hunt and found things that related to the atonement and talked about it as we went. We collected handouts with scriptures that we could use this whole bag of objects for family home evening, perfect! I couldn't help but bring a little easter snack for them afterwards and found these cute bunny graham crackers! And these cute carrot bags at the dollar tree, Score! So after all the activities, everyone brought a sack lunch and we had a picnic...indoors since it randomly snowed today! thank goodness its all gone...

Anyways, We had a great time, and Calvin has a little 71/2 month old that's after him every time we get together!...he likes the older women...ha!

Here are some pictures
