What a week!

Carrying their lunches on the first day of VBS.

The set of the main auditorium was "Transformed."

The girls met up with Viv for story and music time.

The rope helped out when trying to get a room full of 3 year-olds around.

I am amazed at how resilient Faith and Grace were all week to wake up at 6:00 a.m. and go non-stop until 1:00 p.m. before they crashed and napped for 2.5 hours everyday. Here are the girls' highlights for the week:

*Being in the big auditorium for worship time with Rob Biagi.
*Storytime and music with Miss Courtney, Miss Robin, and Miss Karen.
*Playing on the playground.
*Craft time.

*Having me as their teacher all week.

The best part about the week was the fact that I got to be with my kids and see them experience and maneuver their way through their first Vacation Bible School. Every morning on the way to church, they would ask, "Mommy, are you going to be my teacher again today?" When I replied yes, they would smile and say, "Yay!" Although it was exhausting to watch over 10, 3 year-old kids, I wouldn't have had it any other way. I couldn't imagine leaving my kids for 5 hours a day to someone else. I loved the undivided attention and bonding time that we had and realized even more that my kids need me to be present, active, and intentional in my parenting. They did so well and enjoyed the consistent boundaries and discipline they received in the classroom as well as on the playground. As a result, I think they were able to flourish and have fun in confidence.

It's been so sweet to hear them sing the new songs that we learned about Jesus. I am very proud of my little girlies!
