VBA

Vacation Bible Adventure. AKA, babysitting boot camp. Holy moly. I'm exhausted. And I think the kids have never had this much fun. It's such an awesome outreach to the community. The kids have fun and learn about Jesus. They play games, hear bible stories,  make crafts, sing and dance. It was pretty cool watching 360 kids singing and doing the same hand motions to worship songs. It made me tear up a little.

I have been helping with crafts and bible stories for 4-year-olds up to 2nd grade. It has been an eye opener. I realized that Winter is pretty normal when compared to 3 and 4 year old boys. As a whole, the boys are just a tad disobedient. The girls aim to please. Maybe if I would just think of her as a boy, she wouldn't seem so hard to manage...

One day, we had to divide the boys and girls up into two rooms because the girl crafts involved more sequins and sparkles etc. Oh my goodness. The boys worked on their crafts for about 5 minutes then started a game of dodge ball or tag or played with some drums. The girls sat there for the whole 30 minutes quietly decorating their crosses while talking to their friends. Such a difference.

There's Mya, right behind the boy picking his wedgie :)

Winter hasn't napped in over a year. She napped after the 2nd day of VBA :)

Mya's eating her lunch laying down. We don't do that normally...
