David and Sarah were invited to their first Hey Kids Club meeting this evening. You might not recognize the name of this organization, it’s new and rather exclusive. I’m sure it will be wildly popular in no time. The founders are two sisters who decided they wanted to have a club for their friends. After much deliberation, argument and long discussion, they came up with this catchy name. I like it. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Membership is VERY restricted, although older brothers can sometimes finagle invitations if they side step the parents and go straight to the core members (ages six and eight). Clever and efficient. Tonight’s opening event included dinner and a movie. Special activities to come: Thanksgiving crafts and cookie decorating. I’m telling you, this is a great club.
Sarah has been waiting all week for tonight’s party.
With Joshua off at a sleepover and the younger three at the Hey Kids opening night, we had only Rachel home with us this evening. Not content to have a quiet meal alone, we had two couples over for dinner. Tim hired the children to help me get the house ready for company. It was wonderful! They powered through the entire downstairs. We even put Elizabeth (a visiting Hey Kids member) to work. The weekend is here and the house looks lovely.
Now if I can just use Saturday to tackle (wrestle to the ground would be preferable) my HUGE to do list, life would be good.

Project 365 – Day 292
Sounds like a great idea! I think we should start a “Hey, Moms!” club. Movies, dinners, games … My house, next weekend!
I’ve been up since about 3:30 a.m. powering through my todo list…. working for awhile and then treating myself to a few minutes of blog reading… back and forth and back and forth… work then read a blog, work then read a blog (LOL)! … I’ll have a solid 8 hours in before noon even gets here (LOL)!
You can do it, dear Katherine!
Love the joy in Sarah’s face at the prospect of a party. I often forget she’s 5 like Chloe and Anna. When I do, I understand just where she’s coming from. SO dear.
WHEN do you go to VA?
I love you. Aunt Kate
So what kind of kid can be a ‘hey kid’ member? sounds exclusive.
Sounds like a fun group and great job with the kids helping out!
