Egg Hunt at Church
Due to all the rain this week, the Easter Egg Hunt will be at the church instead of Mirinda's house! If it isn't too muddy, we'll do it outside at the church, but otherwise it'll be indoors there.
Meet at the nursery at 10am (with your eggs, if you haven't already given them to Mirinda).

April Changes
First, a reminder: Playgroup is for any woman in the ward who would like to attend. You do not need to have children. It is as much for the women to socialize as it is for the kids to play. In fact, I attended playgroup a few times before children and had a fabulous time. So, if you are free on Friday mornings (usually at 10am) and would like to come and join us where ever we may be, please come! We'd love to have you!
Now, some updates to playgroup for this month...
1 - Friday, April 15th: I'd really like to go to the activity listed below, and I am hoping other moms will want to too. So I am canceling our Easter Craft at the church. Instead, meet at HyVee for an Earth Day Celebration. Thanks to Jacqie for the info.
2 - Friday, April 22nd: Mirinda has volunteered to host our Easter Egg hunt this year. She has requested that each mom get their eggs (6 plastic eggs per child filled with something) to her BEFORE that morning. You may bring them to church or drop them at her home any time before the 22nd. Of course, if you don't get them to her early, that is fine. She just wants to get the bulk of them hidden before the kids arrive. Please don't NOT come just because you weren't able to plan ahead. :-) Also, in case of rain, meet at the church instead of her home. Happy Hunting!
