Introducing: Wacky Wednesdays!

Starting on June 8! Mark your calendars now! Every Wednesday after June 8, we will have a play date at the Highland Heritage Park at 10:15am (conveniently, after SS). I need some volunteers for each day to bring snacks. Email me at colunamom@yahoo.com or comment within this post.

June 8: Father's Day Finger Painting
Please bring a white baby onesie or t-shirt and a "Dad-sized" white T-shirt. You can even bring a white tool belt (available for cheap at Home Depot). Using tiny fingers and toes, we will create some Father's Day masterpieces to surprise to the Daddy's (even Grandpas) in our lives! Make sure that your kiddos wear clothing that you do not mind to get very, very messy.

June 15: Book Exchange
Bring at least 2 books to exchange- one for another mom, one for another kiddo. We will pick some books to read aloud and the kids will decide what they'd like to share or take home. Leftover books will be donated to charity.

June 22: Scavenger Hunt
Ahoy! You will be paired up and provided a list of items to find in the park! The team who finds the most wins! Bonus points for babies dressed up as pirates!

June 29: BUBBLES
Is there anything more fun than bubbles!? We will experiment with making bubbles of all kinds.

Ok, Ok, Lets try Wednesday for the Zoo!

Wednesday at 1pm! If the weather plays any tricks on us, we'll head over to the Aquarium instead.

Also, the group prices are only effective if we get 10 adult tickets. Its kinda looking like we may be a bit short. So, plan on the regular prices for now. In the event that we do have 10 adults, bring a check or cash, as they told me that they'd like for us to pay with one transaction.

Lets go to the Zoo!

The sun is shining and the weather seems great for now! See you ladies at the zoo!

Zoo Update and (brief) Mani/Pedi recap

So, tomorrow calls for a high of 53 with isolated thunderstorms. This is no good. I will make a decision by noon Monday and post to the blog and facebook if the Zoo trip will be postponed. If postponed, we'll go on Wednesday at 1pm. Either way, we will see those monkeys, gosh darn!

And, last Wednesday we had a great time sipping sparkling wine and munching on cheese, fruit, and chocolate while getting pampered at the nail salon. In attendance was Amanda, Jenny, Lauren, Sarah and Holly. We had a great time! Hopefully we will post some photos, soon!

Easter Egg Hunt Recap

Click on the photos to make them larger. It seemed like everyone had a great time at the Easter egg hunt, despite the weather. I'm sure that a fox or dog enjoyed all the puffs and treats we left in the grass! I hope everyone had a very happy Easter weekend!
