MOPS Retreat TOP TEN!!!


MOPS.

It is not a cleaning device.


It is an acronym for Mothers of Preschoolers.


Which I guess is actually a cleaning device.


Hmmm.


- Deep Thoughts by Stacey Wilson






So I am attempting to recover from a raucous 24 hours + with most of the leadership team for the Salinas Valley Community Church's MOPS group. 15 amazing women were able to leave behind husbands, kids, responsibilities, and chores overnight! It totally ruled.

We sunbathed.

We laughed.



We swam.

We ate. A lot.



We talked.

We shared our histories.



We prayed for one another.

We ate some more.

We watched a certain mothers of a preschoolers try to get the rest of us to guess "prostitue", "proctologist", and "pasties" during a rousing game of charades. Don't worry, we had other words, too. Those were just the most outrageous.



We relay raced with t-shirts.

We plan on having an awesome year of MOPS in 2010-11!!





I know that is more than ten things, but it was a pretty awesome 24 hours.


Yet I still don't know what "the secret $#% challenge" was all about. But that table of women were laughing pretty hard!


Love ya like a sista,
SW
