Young women's temple marriage pump-up activity

Hey Friends, Next Wednesday we have  a really fun activity planned, but we need help from some of you sisters!!  We are having a wedding dress fashion show and some other fun activities.  What we really need to make the activity special is several of you wearing your wedding dresses and one at a time coming in to share some thoughts about your choice to be sealed in the temple or anything else the Spirit may tell you to say.  It only needs to be a few minutes.  It doesn't matter if you're a newlywed or been married for several years; a variety is great!!   Please contact me asap if you may be able to help and I'll give some more details!! The activity is Wed. Sept 1 at 7 pm.   Thanks! Christie Poyfair 479-212-0916

Reminder & September Play Group Schedule!

Hey!

Hope everyone's having a great first part of the week!  Tomorrow at 10:30 AM is our first home play group at my house (3004 SW Windrift Ave, Unit 1 in Bentonville).  Myma is really looking forward to having friends over!:)

So, for September, here are our home play groups:

Sept. 1-Chelsie Moline's at 10:30 AM
Sept. 10-Nicole Bingham's at 10:30 AM (this is a FRIDAY, not a Wednesday!)
Sept. 15-Amy Bench's at 10:30 AM
Sept. 22-Haylie Redder's at 10:30 AM

We have a couple special play groups in September as well!  Aubrey Patterson had the great idea to do a pool party at the Wildwood Pool!  We're going to do it Friday, Sept. 3 at 10:30 AM.  I hope the weather is nice and sunny (although, it really could cool off a bit and still be swimmable, huh?)!  Bring a sack lunch for you and kiddies!

And then each month on the last Wednesday we'll meet someplace fun.  I thought this month (Sept. 29) we could do Chuck E. Cheese.  My and I went and it was so much fun!  She rode the carousel at least 4 times.  Let's meet at 10:30, and we can stay for lunch if anyone wants to!:)

Let me know if you'd like to host for October!  How fun would it be to plan a Halloween craft for the kids?!? 

Thanks!
Missy

Upcoming play groups!

Hey mamas!

So, I've been looking on Facebook at everyone's big kids' back to school pictures, and it has me all nostalgic (for when I taught) and sad (for when Myma leaves me someday!)!  I hope all the kiddies had a wonderful first few days of school! 

We are beginning home play groups THIS week!  So exciting!  Let me tell you how it'll work.  I think they'll all work pretty similarly.  It'll be on Wednesday (usually), it'll be in the late morning (usually 10:30 it's looking like!), and you can count on yummy treats and a fun activity for the little ones. 

For instance, this week on Wednesday (Aug. 25) at 10:30 AM, we'll meet at my house...3004 SW Windrift Ave, Unit 1 (right side of a duplex).  I'll have stuff for sandwiches and a treat.  If your kids like sandwiches, they are welcome to share!  If not, please bring something for them to eat (or you can leave when it gets to be your lunchtime!).  I think we're going to do some kind of apple-ish craft for kids that are interested.  Myma might not be so interested.:)  Anyway, I have a train set and some other fun toys for bigger kids, and of course, lots of baby toys!  I hope lots of people can come!  You are welcome to drop in late!  There is no late, haha!

The week after, September 1, we'll be meeting at Chelsie Moline's (4002 SW Hollowbrook St) at 10:30 AM. 

In the next few days, I will send you the rest of the month's schedule!  Just plan on Wednesdays!:)  Sorry to send out multiple emails.  If you'd like to host in October, please let me know! 

Thanks so much!
Missy

Help for Addyson!

I have been given the opportunity to travel to Germany and Austria with Bentonville High School's Chamber Choir next summer and am looking for ways to earn money. I would like to have a garage sale over Labor Day weekend (September 4th and 6th) to help raise some of it. I am asking for anything that you would be willing to donate. I would need the items by August 28th and would be more than willing to come pick them up, so you don't have to drive out to my house. If you have anything you'd be willing to donate please email me at christoffersen_a@hotmail.com or call me at 479-715-1093.

 

Thanks so much,

 

Addyson Christoffersen
