VBS

This last week was Vacation Bible School at our church. The last 2 years I have just been the mom that drops kids off and doesn't stay to help. In my defense I had Abby who was to little to go the last 2 years also. This year since I didn't have any excuses, I figured it was my time to be a helper. I should have went into this experience with a better attitude but I will admit I wasn't very excited to be a teacher for the 3 year old class. I did it out of guilt and so that Abby would go.
Much to my surprise it was pretty enjoyable. We had a great class and I had wonderful teenage helpers! Abby did really well for the most part. She got a little needy and clingy as the week went on but I think 3 hours a day of structure was a bit more than she was used to. It was adorable to see the 3 year olds learn the words and actions to songs and listen to the stories.
Bryce and Caleb also went to VBS this week. They were in the Kindergarten class which from the sounds of it was a lot more wild than my little 3 year olds. Poor Caleb was so nervous to go everyday and most days involved tears for him and much frustration and stress for me. I don't know what happened to my laid back kid. He has turned into a nervous worrier. I have no idea where he gets that from. (ME) Aside from the crying all morning and abandoning him in his class every morning crying he said he had fun??? Silly kid!
It was a fun week but I am excited to sleep in next week.
