We've had an extremely busy week this week with VBS. It's the first time my kids have ever been part of VBS and another reason we're so thankful for this church. I'm teaching 5th and 6th grade this year and get to work with a very nice lady...the pastor's wife. Rachel is really enjoying her class and Bradley thinks he's such a big boy going to his class of 3 or 4 with two great teachers. He gets to do alot of "big boy" things like, play on the playground, eat snack in a special room, play games, make crafts, etc... They both really love it! Trent has done great too! It is the first time I've left him with anyone, and even though I am in the same building with him, I still miss him. I just go nurse him when it's been about 2 hours and the very kind, nurturing ladies in there are doing a great job of rocking him and keeping him happy...which makes me happy! My 5th and 6th graders are lots of fun...really and truly a precious group of sweet kids. Most of their moms are working somewhere in VBS, so that shows what wonderful parental involvement they come from. I'm really glad I have gotten to work with such an older age group since that's so different from what I do everyday at home!
Written AFTER VBS:
One of the biggest obstacles this week was getting us all ready and out the door ON TIME every morning. It was quite challenging. I got up at 6:30 each day and tried to get ready before the kids woke up. Sometimes that worked and sometimes it didn't. Trent is the most unpredictable since he still sleeps and eats whenever he wants. Another obstcale was our broken A/C from Sunday-Tuesday. It was SO hot and uncomfortable! I never realized how spoiled we were to having a cool house. But, we made it, our A/C was fixed on Tuesday afternoon and we slept great and felt refreshed the rest of the week. VBS was an absolutely wonderful, uplifting, exciting experience and I'm so thankful that we got to be a part of it!!!
