Playgroup next week

I hope everyone had fun at Lion Village this week! I just wanted to give everyone a heads up for next week's playgroup because we will need a headcount. Emily has so graciously offered to have us come and swim at her community pool at Lee Oaks Place (*note the different meeting time in my email to the listserve). There are two pools. One is larger and about 4 feet deep while the other is smaller and just the right size and depth for toddlers and babies. The pool area is fenced in. Please send me an email by Monday morning if you can make it so that Emily can get a pass for you and your kiddos. I'll be bringing juice drinks. Feel free to bring a snack to share.

CROCS! Buy one get one free

Most kids I see are running around in these so when I saw this sale I thought some of you might like to know. The sizes and colors are limited but there's still some cute stuff. And what mom doesn't love a shoe you can throw in the dishwasher?

In addition to the free shipping, here are a couple of online codes to save even more. I haven't used them so I can't say 100% if they work but it's worth a try.

Playgroup this week- August 12th

Initially I had planned to cancel playgroup this week since things had been so slow lately. However, there was such a good turnout last week and several people have asked about playgroup this week so let's keep it going. Playgroup is on for tomorrow! I hope this doesn't mess up anyone's schedule too badly and if we don't see you tomorrow then I hope we see you next week. Since it's so hot outside I thought we would meet at Lion Village park at 10am. They have several sprinklers to cool off the kids. Be prepared for the kids to get wet! I will also be bringing about 40 size 3 diapers that we can't use.
