Vacation Bible School...recap

Vacation Bible School feels like an eternity ago...but really is was only last week. All week long. 9-noon every day. I had 20 kids in the preschool class and I was wiped out each and every single day. It's the boys that are so hard, if you ask me.

The girls both had a blast. Sophia's favorite part was Science Lab. They made snow one day. She tried to replicate it at home. This was her recipe: Put a little bit of sugar into a cup and then added some water. After you shake it for a while it will turn into snow.

I explained why that wasn't going to work and she insisted that it would. So she tried. We made ice cream in a baggie instead...and after I shook it for ten whole minutes...Lilly ate it!

We all got to decorate our very own aprons and chefs hats. Sophia made a recipe box and a recipe holder too.

Lilly was the youngest one in the class and she hung with the big kids great! I was so proud of her. She shared her mommy with 19 other kids. When she wasn't with me, she was attached to one of the youth helper girls, Banning or Sara Margaret. They both offered to babysit for me anytime.

When it was over on Friday and we ate lunch with everyone and I cleaned up and took down all the decorations, my friend, Jen, and I took our girls to the beach. Jen is Kate and Caroline's mom and she just happened to be Sophia's teacher this year. She said Sophia was a dream.

Can't wait until next year when the theme will be Ocean Commotion.
