YET ANOTHER UPDATE!

Okay, the date has changed, the place has changed. Sorry about all of this, guys.

The Extravaganza will now be on Sunday, November 4th at 4pm

The partying will be at Ainsley and Dave’s farm in Whately, in their awesome greenhouse.

I think I will have Ainsley post directions to the farm in the comments, so check back.

Can’t wait to see everyone!

PARTY!

September 14th, 2007

Okay, girls, it’s time to start planning the Third Annual PVPG Birthday/Halloween Bash! Woot!
Seems that the weekend of Oct. 27 and 28 would be best for those I have polled; does anyone have a day or time preference? I was thinking 4pm to bedtime, Saturday or Sunday.

Corrie suggested the Universal Kids indoor playground in Noho instead of the traditional Florence Civic Center. I’d love to hear opinions on that as well. I will call and see what the pot luck food situation is there, as well as fees, etc.

Please post a comment here on the website. If you don’t seem to be able, email me at traci at olsendesign dot net. If you don’t remember your password, there is a button at the log in screen that will email it to you. Your passwords are private, so we don’t have access to them. Sorry if that’s a pain.

Happy Third Birthday to those who have already made the leap; and congrats to all of us who have made it through without going completely insane!

I can’t wait to see everyone!

Petting Zoo

May 15th, 2007

Hi girls-

Does anyone know of a good, close by-ish petting zoo? Audrey cried all the way home today, saying she wanted to pet the cows, and the sheep, and the pigs, and the cows…. you get the idea.

Could be a PVPG field trip—let me know if anyone wants to join us, the more the merrier.

Happy Spring, everyone!

Free ID Kits for Kids

April 22nd, 2007

Our local grocery store, Big E’s in Easthampton, will be giving out free ID Kits for Kids, including photo and DNA, on Saturday May 19th from 10:00 am to 1 pm. Often the kits contain a fingerprint kit and you can have prints made at the local police station. I feel sort of squirmy about this- the whole “my kid is going to get kidnapped” paranoia, but when I was traveling alone with Paddy the security team at the airport asked if I had any ID for him and recommended that we get some!
