MOPPETS

Childcare is the most important part of MOPS because our kids are the most important thing to us. Here's some information you need to know about the MOPPETS childcare program. Please read below.



1. Sick policy - Be considerate when your children are sick, and do not bring them. If your child has been sick within the past 24 hours with fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, keep them home to rest and heal. If your child feels hot, seems sick, or has any health issues, you will be called on your cell to come get them during meetings. Please keep your cell on vibrate during the meetings.

2. Cups--Please send a cup to each meeting with your children. To avoid spreading germs, every cup or bottle MUST be labeled. Any unlabeled cup or bottle will not be used during the meetings. There are always tape and markers at the registration table if you happen to forget to label.

3. Snacks--Children in the toddler, preschooler, and big kids rooms will be offered a snack each meeting. The snacks will be Goldfish, animal crackers, or graham crackers.

4. Diapers--When you drop your child off make sure he/she is in a dry, clean diaper. The workers stay BUSY, and only dirty diapers will be changed. You can change your child's wet diaper after the 2 hour meeting

5. Crying and misbehavior--The workers have been advised to contact moms whenever there is a behavior problem that doesn't respond to time outs or redirection. Also, if a child cries for more than 10 minutes, you will be contacted.

6. Appreciation--Please tell the workers thank you each time you pick up your kids. A little appreciation goes a long way.

Together again..........

On Saturday September 11th the ladies got together for another MNO. This time we got the chance to go see Corinna and meet her at the Cookie Jar Cafe in Dunlap, TN. We had a total of 9 ladies that attended. All those that didn't make it we missed you dearly!!! The view was great as well as the food!!! Can't wait until we have another chance to spend some more time together. See everyone at our next meeting tomorrow at 9:30!

MNO (Mom's night out) for September 2010

Hope that everyone has been doing great since our last time together. We get another chance to spend some more mommy time together this Saturday night September 11th at the Cookie Jar Cafe in Dunlap, TN. This resturaunt has been recommended by many and we get a chance to go spend some special time with Corrina. Everyone that plans on going needs to meet at FBCSD (First Baptist Church Soddy Daisy) at 6PM so that we can be loaded and ready to leave the parking lot at 6:15PM. If you haven't already done so please let Lori L. know that you will be attending so that the reservations can be completed and there will be enough room for everyone. The two drivers will be Lori B. and Shalena D. (just look for those big SUVs!!) If you want to check out the menu before you go just check out the website johnsonfamilyfarm.com. Here are a few pics from the website.

Come join us for some good food, good laughs and a great time bonding!!!

Our first MNO (mom's night out) for the new year

The ladies enjoyed MNO at FBCSD for game night. All the mommies brought fun games and finger foods. The game of choice this night was Phase 10. For anyone that hasn't played this game, it can get very intense. We had two decks of cards so we were able to separate into 2 groups. For one table it began to get a little competive but it wasn't anything that we couldn't just laugh about and go on with the game. By the way, Lori which is it, a 6 or 9?? "No, that is a 9!!!!"

MNO for us is such a great thing because it gives us a chance to get to know each other better plus we get time away from our precious little ones. A big thanks goes out to those that volunteered to watch the kids for those of us who didn't have childcare.

Until next time.....September 11th at the Cookie Jar

Gotta love some MOPS!!!!

Welcome back to MOPS

Our first meeting on August 24th was a huge success! We had all new MOPPETS to take care of our little ones and we got a chance to meet the new mommies that joined our group. Jenna, our coordinator, introduced herself and gave a wonderful speech regarding the new plans for the new year....Momology and MOPS University. We also enjoyed a short skit from Lora and Shalena (a last minute fill  in due to Kara being sick from a bee sting from the night before). All steering committee was introduced and each of us got a chance to answer some of Jenna's "questions".......and did anybody guess that Jenna was the "bad one"? And don't let me forget the fun we got to have with Sara's craft...our new MOPS bright pink T-shirts that we sprayed bleach water on to get the word "MOPS" to show. Thanks to everyone who helped us with getting everything together for our first meeting. Also a big thanks to our host church, First Baptist Soddy Daisy. Countdown to our next meeting......12 days!!!! Can't wait to see everyone again! Don't forget, bring a friend and start racking up those points ladies.....don't ya wanna get that free mommy night out????
