Featured Mom--Sue-Ann Sorenson

I was born on Long Island NY, an moved to a small town in upstate New York,
Boiceville (just a few miles from Woodstock!!) when I was 3...lived there
through high school and college. My parents still live in the area.

After a couple of years living just outside New York City in Englewood
Cliffs, NJ, my sister talked me into moving to "Hot"lanta Georgia as a
change of pace, which I did at the end of 1994. Believe it or not, my
future hubby had moved there at the same time from Texas, and we met just a
few months after moving there at a small party of a co-worker of mine who
happened to live right next door to Ron. What can I say...the rest is
history! We married right after the Atlanta Olympics and spent almost 10
years in Georgia, before Ron finally won the argument and convinced me that
Texas was the place to be! I've been happy ever since!

I have two daughters, both born in Atlanta GA, Sabrina in 1999 and Samantha in
2003. We are growing to love League City and all the wonderful people we
have met in our short time here.

Kemah Boardwalk

Here's your reminder that we are having a PLAY DATE!!

It might be too cold, but if it warms up, bring some towels and little swimmers in case the kids run in the fountain! There is also the play ground right next to Flying Dutchman that you will be playing at so comfy clothes and shoes are a must! Bring some cash for the rides--they open at 11:00am (train, ferris wheel, etc) I, unfortunately, am going out of town on Thursday so I will not be there, so look for someone you know and have a cold ice tea for me!

October 19th Meeting

Crafts!! Yup, today was craft day! We had some great new faces, and a casual chit chat day (in case you missed the meeting...very low-key)

We did talk about the Holiday Extravaganza (November 2nd)--don't forget to invite your friends! I'll be sending out an evite soon that you will be able to pass along. The event will not be a success unless we have customers to support our businesses!!

St. Christopher's donated over $400 to our ministry to support our scholarship fund! We appreciate all of their support, as we do not want to turn anyone away from MOPS!

Thank you to the Purple Table for the fabulous food--I'm about 1500 calories heavier. Thank you....

And Christine!! Your adorable toilet paper pumpkin project (okay, it sounds a little corny I'm sure to those of you who were not there, but it was sooo cute!!) was very creative!! Thank you so much for bringing our creative sides out of us!!

Loida grabbed a few shots from the meeting--thanks for the images:

Fall Festival

Leslie has invited all of us to attend the Fall Festival at Clear Lake Methodist Church, Saturday, from 10am-2pm. The kids get to dress up in their costumes and enjoy a day in the sun! See below for more information! Or, call Leslie and you can all meet up!

The Pumpkins are here! The Pumpkins are here! Can you believe it? Along with our Pumpkins, we will be having our Fall Festival on Saturday, October 13 from 10am to 2pm on the Front Lawn. There will be games, rides, a petting zoo and food! Bring your kids and your cameras and prepare to have an enjoyable day amongst the pumpkins. The Festival is entirely free but the pumpkins are not. We donate all proceeds made from the sale of the pumpkins to area ministries such as Interfaith Caring Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, Crossroads and Samaritan Center.

The Pumpkin Patch is open for business from 10am to 8pm every day from Monday, October 8 to Wednesday, October 31 unless we run out of pumpkins!

Fun at Chuck E Cheese

We had a GREAT turnout today for the play date! There were 12 moms and tons of kiddos! There were lots of games played, and many slices of cheese pizza consumed! And then there was Meg--the Sponge Bob Square Pants ticket queen! Basically, if you could get your token to land on the green square of this game, you won 50 tickets at a time. About an hour later, and I have no clue how many tokens spent, Meg comes back with a slip for 1103 tickets! You Rock!! (she knows what she's doing to make those boys happy when they leave, I guess!)

I only got a few quick shots before my point and shoot battery went dead...I promise to bring my pro camera to the next one! ...and send me any pics you guys got from today!
