I want to wish you and your families a holy and sacred Feast of the Holy Family. What an awesome idea that God became flesh as a baby in a family. It sanctifies our being family!

The Christmas post to follow...

SPAR this Friday!

Tomorrow we are going to SPAR's Water Park to play (http://sulphurparks.com/index/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=17)

Admission is free for kids 2 and under, $4 for 3 and up (and adults). Let's plan on playing for a while then having lunch - there is a place there to buy lunch, although they will allow you to bring food for babies in plastic containers (can't bring food for adults).

If yopu plan on coming, please send me a quick email so that I can look for you there -

See you tomorrow!

This Friday - No Blueberries

We were supposed to go blueberry picking this Friday in Opelousas, but the berries are not ready...so - change of plans. Why don't we just meet at Prein Lake Park again to play at the splash pad? I know that we always have so much fun there...and if we get there in the morning (before 11), there are not too many kids. I will be out of town, so Ben and I will miss you this week...but next week --> SPAR, here we come!

Fire Station Here We Come!

I am soo excited to bring Benjamin to the fire station this Friday morning! Remember it is at 9:45 am, not 10 am like we usually meet. Also, I know I sent an email out to everyone regarding treats for the firemen with every intention of organizing that, but I didn't (sorry - I have been busy). So...if you want to make treats for the firemen, please do. I know they will appreciate it (the Captain told me they really look forward to the goodies parents bring!). There are about 8-10 firemen on duty at any given time at the Big Lake Road Station. See you Friday!!

Zoo of Acadiana - Road Trip!

Our play group is going to the zoo this Friday morning...We can all meet at my house (downtown on 7th, close to the interstate) at 8:45 am, with plans to leave no later than 9 am. If you don't want to carpool or caravan, we will see you there around 10 am. See you soon!

Free Fun this Saturday!

I was told that the Tourist Bureau is having a free event/expo of all the summer camp options: art camps, math, baseball, etc. Along with it will be food, jumping, balloon animals, etc.

10 - 2 at the Tourist Bureau (so I'm told). If anyone knows anything about it (or sees incorrect info in this post, let me know).

Library Schedule!!

I just got back from the library and here's the summer schedule.

I know I have been M.I.A. from our play groups, but Fridays at 10 are when my husband is home. He has mornings off... so you know, we have our "evenings" in the morning. But I will be around when he's not home.
