This morning Hailey and I went to our MOPS meeting and we had a great time. Hailey loved playing with the kids and didn’t cry at all. I loved talking to other moms, although I did cry. We watched a DVD presentation for Operation Christmas, a program we are going to do where we collect little gifts for children around the world and wrap them up in shoe boxes. All of the moms in the room were crying at the end of the DVD, so it wasn’t just me. But- wow- it really made me think, seeing all those kids who were excited beyond words to receive something small like a little doll. They just don’t have anything.
After the DVD our mentor spoke and then we went into the kitchen (it’s at a church with a pretty big kitchen). There was a professional chef there who prepared a fabulous dish- showing us step by step how to do it. He answered all sorts of questions for us and was really interesting to listen to. The only problem was that we were in there for a while and there weren’t any seats. I thought some nice commercial bar furniture would have been nice so we could have rested our weary legs. Affordable Seating has some really great choices that would have been perfect. After he finished the the presentation we got to eat his amazing cooking- and wow it was delicious!
Then we wrapped our meeting, I chatted with another mom for a little while and then we came home and had some lunch. Now Hailey is taking her nap and I am blogging. A perfect morning!
