Vacation Bible School was fun this year. I worked with Kindergarten so I could be in the worship time with Kadyn. What fun to get to watch her worship! Truly, to be in there with 3, 4, and 5 year olds as they sing to God- what a blessing!
Kadyn would have sheer delight on her face during the worship time--one reason...... look below!
Pop played the roll of Klondike Keith. He mainly spent his time in the grade school worship time, however he did make an appearance on the last day with the preschooler's. He was in a tent-- and would snore-- LOUDLY! The kids would yell loudly to wake him up and he would come out making a big fuss! What fun this was! The huge smile on Kadyn's face is the moment she realized it was Pop!
The theme for the week was Artic Edge. Kadyn is doing the motions and here she is doing the motion for Edge-
-trying not to fall off!
This is Mrs. Pauline- she was great at leading the preschooler's each day. Mrs. Karin said she was better than Ms. Pattycake! How true this is-especially when getting the wiggles out!
Mrs. Karin would lead the kids each day in the motto for the week as well as their Bible verse for the day. She also came to different classes and spent time with the kids. Kadyn loves Mrs. Karin and Mrs. Karin loves her! She has a wonderful heart!!
The next few are shots from the worship.
The picture below shows the time of the offering. There was a competition between the boys and the girls to see which group could raise more money. The boys beat the girls by a few hundred dollars- but overall, $5000 was raised to help others--all of this by children! Kadyn is in the middle of the group below taking the girl's offering for her class.
Kadyn and Dylan spent each morning with me before the other kids arrived. Dylan loved to crawl in and out of the tent. Kadyn- such a good big sister played with him, laughed with him and loved on him! I happened to catch a still moment with Dylan!
We can't wait for VBS next year!
Just when you think things are going well--of course that is when something breaks! Eric was trying to be so helpful. I was keeping 3 other kids on Sunday along with my own. All together there were 2 five year olds, a 21 month old, a 13 month old and and 8 month old. We were at my mom's house helping some friend's out as they moved. Eric wanted to help get some things done around the house and well I am so grateful for this--however-- it did cost us. He tried to wash some things that should not have been put in the machine. I smelled something burning from the laundry room. I called him quickly and after only a moment- he pulled the seat cushion out and there were burn marks along the edge. Yes, it was stuck. It burned the motor up and well we do not know what else! Yes- I panicked. This is the week I have to wash Kadyn's camp clothes each night. Well, David, Eric's brother used to work at an appliance company. I called him- after about 30 minutes. I had to calm down and think rationally in order to think about calling him! He came over at about 10 p.m. He and Eric were up for a bit draining the washing machine and letting David look at it and assess the damage. Needless to say- we have another machine today. In order to fix the old one- well it was the same as getting another-- was there really a choice? Thank you David for helping us out! Here are a few pictures from last night that we will laugh at one day!
