Finally Friday!
Yes, I’m still here. This week has been kicking my butt! But, today’s Friday! One more day of work and one more night of Vacation Bible School. I know I may have complained a bit about my group and while they are very challenging, there are some great kids in it, too. I’ll be sad to see some of them go tonight!
As for the upcoming weekend, we have a whole lot of NOTHING planned. Tomorrow we’re sleeping in as late as we want, having a big breakfast, Brady’s going to play in his pool and we’re just going to relax. I will need to do some housework as I don’t think I’ve used anything containing bleach once this week and Brady will be getting a haircut. Sunday we have Sunday School and church and that evening we’re having an ice cream social after the evening service. It will be a fun day and I know we’ll be talking about VBS a lot.
Hopefully I’ll have some pictures to post next week from VBS! Have a great weekend!

Hand Motion Impaired
You know how when you were a kid and you’d learn songs at camp or church or school and they all had hand motions to go with them? You’d wiggle your fingers to represent the sea, raise them up to represent the sky, etc. And remember that kid who was always doing the wrong motion at the wrong time? Yeah, I was that kid. Apparently I’m that adult, too.
We’re learning a bunch of songs at VBS and I swear, I’m all over the place. I hope the kids aren’t following me too much!
I can hear it now “I’m sorry, you can’t help with VBS anymore because you can’t do the motions to the songs………………”

Vacation Bible School - Day 1
Vacation Bible School started last night at church. Our theme is Power Lab! It’s science-themed, lots of experiments and teachers running around in lab coats. The kids are loving it. I don’t know about you, but I have some really great memories of VBS when I was a kid. Lots of generic sandwich cookies and kool-aid, learning fun songs, playing tag and red rover and a craft involving blue feathers. Those were the days!
This is my first year to help with VBS and I’m in charge of the 1st and 2nd graders, 20 of them to be exact. 12 boys. My word! I’m hoping the first night is the hardest since I’m still getting to know everyone and figuring out who will need more attention (or supervision) than others. My job is to lead them from music to crafts to games to snack, etc. Thankfully I have two helpers who can make sure we don’t lose anyone along the way.
One boy (not in my group) broke his arm in the gym last night. I felt so badly for him. I also felt badly for our coordinator because I know that’s just how she wanted to start off the week, with an ambulance pulling up to the church. My group was on their way to snack time in the gym, so we had to hold up in the hallway while they tended to the injured. Of course, some of my boys started asking “is his arm going to fall off? Is he dead??” Good grief.
They have a mini-class for the 2’s and 3’s, only if you’re helping with VBS. Brady was having a ball. I’d pass him in the hallway walking with his class and he’d wave at me. He even got his picture up on the screen at the end! It just warms my heart to see my little boy having fun and learning about Jesus and starting to make those memories that I experienced as a child.
