Mother's Night Out Party: Apple Themed
This Summer I was so excited to talk to grownups after resting at home from my foot surgery. Not that people weren't around, the deaconesses and my family certainly visited, I was just thrilled to be at the LIFE meeting planning fall fieldtrips. So I volunteered to host the Mom's fellowship.
Last week very little kitchen table school happened last week, because I was tidying up the house for Miss M's visit. It needed some major work! So the house was still pretty good this week for the party Tuesday night, but it is amazing how ambitious having no laundry spread on the floor made me to create beauty and order; not much kitchen table work this week either. In fact, once the party was over, I discovered that I'd been ignoring the boy's requests to get their Lego Brickmaster contest entries mailed, and they were due in the office in 4 days. Then the printer became ill, and my computer confused me.
Homeschool was hijacked.
However, this blog post is not really about my inability to do it all: hosting a mom's fellowship night was fun. Four friends showed up, from the LIFE group, and from other groups. Each lady brought an apple dish (I'd made regular pizza, and my Dad's Bisto Pizza dish from a cool cookbook he liked) That had olive oil and sauted garlic first, then a mound of fresh spinach, sliced granny smith apple, mozzerella, parmezagne, and blue cheese. yum. The ladies brought apple spice cake without the apples, apple dumplings, apple strudle, and apple doughnuts from Dunkin' Doughnuts. One family also brought their son - who hung out with DH, M and B in the workshop playing computer games online, the kids introduced each other to their favorites.
Us mom's laughed, compaired curriculums, commiserated, laughed some more, and drank mulled apple cider.
I'd set out some 3x5 note cards, a new apple punch, and an edger punch. I'd made myself a name tag. K finally quit crying and went to sleep when I let her wear my name tag. She wiggled her shoulders and giggled in bed after that.
She really likes to imitate me. |
