October 13 Meeting Information

Hope you're able to attend our October meeting! Please feel free to invite a friend too.

Along with brunch and visiting, we have a special speaker, Carrie Knutson, coming to talk about Real Colors. Here is a bit more information on Real Colors:

If you had a key that would unlock the answers to human behavior, would you use it? Imagine having the knowledge to truly understand yourself and others, without requiring years of study.

Real Colors® is that key. The Real Colors® Personality Instrument is a simple, easy to administer system for identifying the four temperaments (Blue, Gold, Green or Orange ). It provides users with an effective tool for understanding human behavior, for uncovering motivators specific to each temperament and for improving communication skills. Most importantly, Real Colors® is easy to incorporate into all areas of daily life. It is the key to achieving higher levels of success, personally and professionally.

We'll be getting an introduction to this, with the full class offered by Carrie (free of charge!) November 7. More details to come on that in the newsletter.

Moppetts will be doing everything PUMPKIN!

We've reserved this time, and there is a small cost of three dollars for each child. The pumpkin patch includes a hayride, concessions, corn maze, various games, and other outdoor fun. Each child will get a small pumpkin to take home.

More information and directions to come.

See these swings?

The only thing missing from them is you! ;)

Please plan to join us on Thursday, September 22 from 9-11 am for our first MOPS play date of the year.

We'll be providing crackers and juice for those who like them, but you'll have to bring your own coffee.

Also, this is a flexible time, so if you have a napping baby, just come when he or she wakes up. Or, if you need to leave early, everyone understands.

Sertoma Park is located at 11th Avenue South/30th Street. If you need directions, please call or text me: 719.641.0267

* If the weather is not cooperative, we'll be in touch with Plan B. Praying for sunshine! ;)

September Mom's Night Out!

How do you choose between ice cream and coffee?

Maybe it depends on the weather, or maybe it depends on whether m&ms are available for topping? Either way, we hope you can join us for a casual mom's night out at TCBY/Cariboo.

Cariboo/TCBY is located at 2400 South Washington Street

We'll be starting about 7:30 pm, but feel free to drop in as you're able.

If you have questions, please email or call me at the info below.

Hope to see you there!
