Revamp the Wives Club!

So I really want to get together more often and on a regular basis. One of my friend's husband is in medical school back east and the wives get together a lot!! They have such fun ideas like auctions, craft night, cooking club, etc. Everyone is so talented and I know there is tons of things we could get together and do. So... to start out slow, I thought we could assign two days a month. One in the night for the wives that work and then one during the day for kid-friendly/stay-at-home during the day stuff (everyone is welcome to both of course!) I don't know if everyone is available for October so let me know what day/night of the week works best for you and what you would be interested in doing. This really will be so fun so let's get it started!

Here are a few of my ideas for adult activities:
-scrapbook night (bring a project you are working on and a treat!)
-card exchange (everyone makes x amount of cards and then everyone trades and you walk away with tons of new cards!)
-craft night (it would be fun to make a holiday craft together. I could show the example, everyone could sign up if they want to make it, I could buy the stuff, and then we can get together and make them.)
-recipe exchange (maybe again?)
-Auction night (Everyone brings a service/item they could auction off and then we all get a certain amount of little candies to bid on things.)
-movie night
-dessert or dinner night

Kid-friendly activities:
-Bounce U
-Lied Children's Museum
-Bellagio gardens and water fountains
-picnic and park
-swimming
-kid crafts
-Chuck E Cheese's or Peter Piper Pizza

So, please leave me a comment and let me know what you would be interested in and what day/night works best for you.

To get it started, I would prefer Monday or Friday days and Wednesday or Thursday nights.
