A Different Kind of MOPS Meeting

Pretending to mix something up.

Making a cinnamon dough ornament.

This morning was a MOPS morning for us. However, it was a bit different than it usually is. Usually Joshua and Owen go to nursery while I spend some good quality adult time with other mothers. Today Joshua got to stay with me and do some fun activities. Our church participates in a program called Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN). For a week our church houses homeless families. This means that no one else may use the wing of the church that IHN is using. They use the children's wing of our church so that meant we couldn't have any children's programming today for MOPS. No big deal, we planned a fun day of activities for moms and kids to do together based around a camping theme. Joshua had a blast making a cinnamon dough ornament, making a pretend log, making a fall wreath, creating his own smore snack mix and pretending to camp with all kinds of camping gear. I just love doing things with him now that he is at an age where he understands things and is able to do more!
