Quiet Books

i'm a little behind, but better late than never, right? i will be ordering the quiet books on monday morning. if you haven't had the chance to order or see the books feel free to give me a call (my number is on the ward list) or email me Hayleaves[at]yahoo[dot]com . i would just post a picture of them, but my camera is fighting a mean battle with death and loosing... hopefully she'll pull through, but hopes aren't too high around here.

prices for the books are listed below (with tax included this time)...

book of mormon $2.33
joseph smith $1.66
abc $3.21
prophets $1.66

once again, YOU MUST GET YOUR OWN PHOTO BOOKS TO PUT THE PICTURES IN!!!

if i don't have your money by the time i order, your books will not be ordered (sorry).

Book and Activity Ideas for Children

This is a great way to solve the never ending question... "what are we doing today?"

Step #1- pick a children's book, one you think your child would like
Step #2- pre-read the book
Step #3- is there a message in the book you'd like to emphasize? is there something in the book that stands out?
Step #4- find a craft or activity that goes along with the book (make sure it's age appropriate for your children)
Step #5(opt)- think of a treat that would work with the book, craft, or activity
Step #6- bring the book, your ideas, and your favorite chocolate to share with some of the other sisters on July 15th @ 7pm in the church (Relief Society room).

For those who are lost... here is an Example:

Activity: Let your little one's dress up like they are going to a dance (my little girl picked her tutu and tap shoes, my little boy put on his church tie and cowboy boots). Let them listen to different kinds of music (classic, country, r&r, oldies, jazz, fast and slow) and dance with them. Nothing is funnier to my kids than to watch their mom TRY to keep the beat.

Snack: Rice Crispy Treats (cause they snap, crackle, and pop), music shaped sugar cookies, or mini-make-it-yourself-pizzas (cause everyone is different just like the pizza toppings we like).

Don't over think this. Any children's book that your kids likes will work. If all else fails there are lots of ideas on the web.

JULY 15TH @ 7PM - MEET IN THE RS ROOM

Friday's Pool Play

Starting this Friday we will be having Pool Play at the Rec Center with our kids (or w/o if you prefer). We plan on meeting @ 1:30 out by the pool. We would love to see as many of the sisters and their kids or grand kids as possible. If you don't have a pool pass ask for Michaun at the front desk. She is willing to give us the group discount on the day passes. Hope to see many of you there!
FRIDAYS @ 1:30 -MEET @ THE REC CENTER

Tuesday Mornings in the Park

Hey ladies, we had our first Tuesday morning in the park and we missed so many of you!!! Thanks to all those that did come. I know my kids loved having someone they knew to play with... and it's always nice to have a conversation and not have to answer "why?" a million times. We got started a little late, so if you do come, and nobody is there yet, wait for a little bit. We are bound to show up sometime.
