Class parties
I forget that being a stay-at-home mom is still not the norm, considering almost all my friends are stay-at-home moms because of MOMS Club and all. So I'm always surprised when I'm asked to be "Room Mom" at my children's schools and help plan parties. This year, I planned both Jaina and Jayce's classroom parties. For Jayce's class, we had time to do an activity, so we decorated gingerbread men. For Jaina's party (that was only 30 minutes) I only had time to read to the class while they ate.
Hi Ashlan!

That's great you are able to volunteer in both children's rooms. I was very fortunate to have a great year with Joshua last year. I hope you can continue to be a room Mom for a lot more years to come. Jayce's party looked fun. Jaina's class seems very nice.
