VBS
D went to Vacation Bible School from 9-12 this week at her Preschool church. Each day she sang, heard a story about Paul, made crafts, played games, and ate snack. When she came home she could explain what she did and the basic idea of the story or theme for the day. She loved it ... especially the interaction with other kids. My extrovert daughter has missed this during the summer.
On Monday she came home saying she got to make a "plus" and proudly showed me her foam cross. I tried to explain it was called a cross but she couldn't grasp why it's a cross at church but a plus with numbers. She even proudly asked her VBS teacher if she could hold the "plus" for the day. You can imagine the laughs this brought.
Yesterday a farmer came with some animals for the kids to pet, brush, and feed. D insisted there was a camel until I asked if it had a hump. She said "Nope ... maybe he left it somewhere." I went on to explain the animal was actually an alpaca but I'm not sure she believed me. She also got to pet and feed a couple of the goats. At pick-up S got to see the animals. He loved the goats and was mad he couldn't get to an especially furry bunny who was fenced in.
Today she got to say the blessing for the whole VBS (preschool-5th grade). She was so excited because she got to use the microphone. She informed me that she said the blessing she learned in preschool and added she was especially thankful for me, daddy, and S. Her teacher said it was very sweet! At the end of the morning there was a short program where the kids sang some songs they had been working on. Afterwards we had a picnic then D played and showed us some games she played during the week. The theme was Athens so the games were Olympic type - javelin throw, disc toss, beanbag toss :) B was off today so he was able to go with us!

It was a good trial run for preschool which starts at 9, five days a week. That's going to take some getting used to and good planning on my part. We made it on time but it was rough. Hopefully practice makes perfect on that!
