I've already given away so many to my coworkers.

How old are your kids? Then you say, oh I have a 4 yr old too! Then talk about at home preschool stuff, etc. 2. Do you always go to this mass? I've seen you a few times; I'm Rosie. 3. (talk to their cute little boy/girl) ooh, I love your outfit. What a cute tie/dress/etc. did you get a donut because you were good in mass? I saw you praying really quietly! (parents love compliments and kids do too!) 4. The basics... Oh you buy target diapers too? (while changing babies in the bathroom) I feel like I am there every week! Or while nursing, I have that same nursing cover but he always pulls it off, how do you get your baby to keep it on? (people love giving advice and I love getting it), or other random mom questions that you are genuinely curious about (where to buy wide baby shoes, cute/affordable maternity clothes if they are dressed cute, healthy snack ideas if te kids are eating). Most moms are super nice back (and wanted to talk to you too but get distracted by wrangling kids) and if they are weird/awkward, oh well, you prob don't want to be their friend anyway haha :).Lauren and Joe O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512344004821390265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-502411438811832152013-08-16T12:46:39.402-04:002013-08-16T12:46:39.402-04:00I bet people knew that Cecilia has her own ideas a...I bet people knew that Cecilia has her own ideas about getting dressed!<br /><br />You might just make slings out of old stockings for the tomatoes.

Although it may seem awkward at first, odds are the other family is thinking just as hard as you are about how to strike up a conversation. More than likely they will forget how you began talking in the first place and be grateful they met someone that day :)Danielle https://www.blogger.com/profile/00076826470661207869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023711147176297629.post-33264177982904152552013-08-16T10:04:38.539-04:002013-08-16T10:04:38.539-04:00Number 4!

I need family pick-up lines because we're going to be moving and I need to meet new families...and what better place than church??<br /><br />How about just "Hey...you look like nice people and we need friends.
