What'll I learn at VBS...

Today was the first day of VBS and I am teaching with Marisa the 2nd and 3rd graders. They are so cute! The theme this year is Fruits of the Spirits and our class are the grapes. I must say that I am a little disappointed though, we hardly sang at all and the puppet show was, well lacking somehow. The kids now also move from class to class, so we actually had 3 different classes, that was interesting. We did get to make a really cute craft though, we made sand art suns. They were super cute and it was neat to see all of the kids being so creative, maybe that is the Activity Director in me though. They do VBS so differently now then when I was a kid but that didn't stop my blast from the past. One of my favorite things about VBS was always the yummy orange punch, I can't believe they still serve it, and of course the cookies are exactly the same. We didn't even get to sing the song "What'll I learn at VBS", we did however sing "I am in the Lord's Army" as well as "Joy, Joy, Joy". Love that song! I actually was just singing that to Gaite the other day.

The babies got to stay in the nursery with Lollie and Andrew, Mom didn't complain but I am sure Paige wore her out. I don't know what that girl's problem is but as soon as we get away from her normal settings, she completely morphs into this screaming and hysterical baby. No one believes me when I tell them that she is the less demanding child. Children, they always make a liar out of you.

Gaite by the way has learned to scream, and I do mean scream. I am soooo thrilled. He will start his screaming and whimpering and as soon as I walk over to him he immediately starts to smile. He plays me like a fiddle, or whatever that saying is. Anyone who says that babies can't manipulate you at the age of 3 months has not met my son. Yet even in the middle of these adorable tantrums, I find myself smiling. It really is funny. Those babies are so freaking cute.
