Kickoff!

Monday night was our Heartland MOPS kick-off night! We had a fun night introducing the MOPS "Momsense" game theme and meeting our discussion group members. Almost 40 mamas attended the kick-off meeting! Wow! God has really answered our prayers at Heartland MOPS. But there is plenty of room for more mamas to join in on the fun!

We have been blessed to have some wonderful "seasoned" mamas to join us as our Mentor Moms. Thank you, Sharon, Chereyl, and Sharon!

For our first meeting we wanted everyone to relax and have a good time. We made a cute (and economical!) craft of paint chip book marks. Thanks, Heather, for the fun craft idea!

But the best part of the night was the "Hungry Hungry Hippo" contest! Who knew what competitive mamas we had!

Several heated rounds of play-offs, we were down to the head-to-head battle for the ultimate Hungry Hungry Hippo player. It was Courtney on the orange hippo versus Amanda on the green hippo. In the end, Courtney's patient and steady munching hippo beat out Amanda's fast gobbling hippo! Slow and steady DOES win the race!

Congratulations to Courtney, our ultimate "Hungry Hungry Hippo" winner!

We hope that all of you mamas had a great time at the meeting! We hope that you are all excited about the fun year we have ahead of us at MOPS!
