Almost the end...

Hello MOPS families! We are nearing the end of our year together. Today the children will begin working on a super secret craft which they will unveil to you after our final meeting May 12. Please don't ask them about it and spoil the surprise!!!

Our book for today was Weird Parents by Audrey Wood.
As summer approaches we are sometimes overwhelmed by the thought of how to fill their summer days. Here are a few ideas of things to do with the kids to keep all of you smiling!!!

I have found a great group (thanks to former MOPS Mommy Andrea Pohlot!) It's called Mommy Adventure Club and it is run by an honest to goodness stay at home mom who wanted to do things in L.A. that were fun for her as well as her kids. She organizes trips all over-- some that cost while others are free, but the real treasure on her site is the list of 101 things to do in L.A. with kids. I have been amazed at some of the things on this list that I never knew existed-- I am hoping to get to all 101 myself!

People know that I love all things Disney and the Disney company has some amazing travel suggestions throughout California.

I believe I have mentioned this site before (this site even puts the calendar on the side of our blog) but I love Go City Kids! They have all sorts of resources for daily activities all around Southern California. From simple things like story times at libraries and free food nights to concerts and special museum or theme park exhibits-- this site has it all!

We will be having room reunions during the summer so that your child can reconnect with friends from their room. Please check the clipboards for the dates and locations of these reunions. I will try to send out reminder e-mails, but my Mommy brain kicks in during the heat of the summer :)

As this is our last blog entry for this year, I hope that you all have a wonderful summer! It has been my pleasure serving as the Moppet Coordinator and I look forward to seeing many of you next year!
