MOPS Greenfield Fire Department Tour
Tuesday, April 14th at 10:30 a.m.
Bring your little ones and join us for a guided tour of GFD's downtown fire station. It is located just south of US 40 on SR 9 across from the courthouse on South Street. We will meet shortly before 10:30 in the large parking lot just west of the station and go in as a group.
You will want to bring your cameras! Barring an emergency, you should be able to photograph your child by the firetrucks or maybe even in the driver's seat.
Sign-up at the April 8th MOPS meeting, or RSVP by commenting on this post! Hope to see you there!

We will be meeting Wednesday mornings from 9:00-10:30 a.m. at Park Chapel, and childcare is provided. We will start on May 13th. More details will follow, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Denise.

The Fun House!
Congratulations to DENISE for winning the $10 Walmart gift card! I'm sure with 3 growing boys at home, she will put it to good use!
Today's topic -- The Fun House -- was a lot of fun! Thanks to Lee for her ideas and inspiration for fun (and inexpensive) ways to play with our kids! In case you missed it, some of Lee's ideas included:
- Fun with a cardboard box... Make it into an airplane, a doll's bed, a car, or decorate it and use it for storing dress-up clothes!
- Make a paper weight... Find a big, heavy rock, and glue pieces of different colored tissue paper to it to make it colorful!
- Make a poster, collage, or paper dolls... Have kids find pictures in catalogs and magazines, cut them out and glue them on. Great way to practice cutting and gluing skills!
- Fun with food... Turn food into fun by making an orange slice into a sailboat by adding a toothpick with a paper sail! Have kids "help" you cook... you might be surprised when they actually eat what they make!
She had LOTS more great ideas to share! Add a comment with another one of Lee's ideas that you liked, or share some of your own fun things you do with your kids!
