MMO and Beartooth club rocket launch!

Several friends, and I had our first Mom's Morning Out (MMO) preschool co-op this morning! It was a little crazy and chaotic....which is to be expected for the first day of anything... basically there are about 12 or so mothers who are bringing their kids (there were about 18 today)...we have 3 rooms, a nursery, a 2/3 year old class, and a 4/5 year old class....we are taking turns (about 6 at a time) teaching the children and taking care of them so that while 6 are watching the kids the other 6 get to have a morning out. Here's a picture of AJ doing her apple print today...I didn't get group shot, but i'm sure I'll post one in the weeks to come! One of the reasons for starting this is because all of the preschools in town are daycare based....there were several of us who wanted to have our kids have a preschool experience without being gone every day all day.
Pastor Brook has started up the Beartooth boys club this semester. They've met 3 times so far and have built and painted rockets and played a lot of hockey....it's been a neat time, I know, for Josiah...he really looks forward to going every tuesday afternoon.
Today was rocket launch day and we were invited to come and watch. It was pretty amazing how high the rockets shot up from the launch pad! 4 of the 6 boys got their rockets off before the downpour...we had to go under the pavilion until the rain stopped before the last 2 boys could launch their rockets.
We leave a week from today for Virginia...Tom's sister, Joanie, is getting married in NoVA and 4 of the 7 of us are in the wedding. It's going to be lots of fun seeing family (Joanie hasn't met the twins yet). We decided yesterday to fly instead of drive this time....we usually drive through the night, but the last time we did it we had a really hard time...and since we're taking the kids out of school for this trip we wanted to maximize our time there. Thanks for checking in! Wedding pictures might be the next thing you see. :)
