Play Group

One of the mom's in our ward started a play group when her oldest daughter was young, and has kept it up, as she had more children.
We have taken all the mom's in the ward, who are interested and slit up the kids in age groups/siblings, and have play group once a week.
Each mom hosts play group at her house once a month. We as mom's get to drop our kids off at one of the houses, and then have two hours of free time (free babysitting) to go shopping, clean house, what ever while our kids play.
Then on the third Friday of every month, all the play groups get together for a large play group where we meet at different places,(pumpkin patch, zoo, swimming, kids club,etc) to talk and let our kids play.
When I hosted in December, I decided to let the kids decorate gram cracker houses. I made the houses before hand, then let them put the candy on it. They had so much fun decorating their own houses, and eating the candy and icing.

Kids decorating their houses. Miss P with her finished house. I think she ate more icing than she put on her house.

N is the funniest kid. He had a snow storm of icing hit his house. He had more icing than candy on his house, and all over his hands.



I am crazy enough to do it a second time that day, while I was watching little P. She was so funny, she would put a red licorice on her roof, then when I turned away would eat it. Then she would put another one on the roof, and repeat over and over again.
