Our family went to our first support group meeting. We filled out the membership form, paid our dues, and I'm hoping to get a lot out of this group. They meet once a month for a topical meeting and send out a great newsletter with plenty of field trip ideas and other activities for the kiddos.
At the meeting, we began with an ice breaker game. Ken wasn't that interested in going, but he seemed to have fun during the ice breaker. Next, they served food and we had a chance to talk to others. Then it was time for the official meeting. That's when the kids became very restless. By this time, it was past 8pm and Katie was super antsy. Ken ended up in the hallway with the kids for the majority of the meeting. I wish we would've had someone watch the kids.
It was a good first meeting, though. Afterwards, we still hadn't eaten dinner (9:45), so we went out for Italian and finally had the kids in bed by 11:30. We were woken up by Katie at 7:30 this morning. Come on, Katie! Sleep in, please!!!! |
