Our awesome threesome with their offering for VBS.
This years offering went to a boy that lost pretty much everything he knew and loved during one of the recent tornadoes in MS. I was so proud of them and their willingness to give! The boys and girls all brought change and had a contest to see which teams bucket weighed the most. I am happy to say the girls won!
Boys counting their change. This also turned into a learning lesson about money.
Crazy hat night.
This beautiful rainbow shone over the whole church Friday evening before the Family Program.
Josh went outside with my camera to take pictures and found this reflection in a water puddle.
I love what my friend Shonna said when she saw this
"
Made me think- even in the pot holes of life, God's promises are still there." I loved it!
Tayler and friends performing to the songs they learned during
The Big Apple Adventure
Joshua in the middle singing his heart out!
So super proud of Brenden he was so nervous about performing and did an amazing job!
I would have clumsily messed up and Josh would have passed out.
I think the key for all three of the kids is having a place to worship and learn where they feel completely comfortable and at home!
This sweet little girl wasn't even in the big classes but was around enough to learn all the motions as well as the big kids. She is precious!
Joshua with his crafts.
During Big Apple Adventure I worked registration, and took care of little odds and ends. We had a blast. The kids learned so much and are still singing VBS songs and doing the motions.
Look what I found. I was on the porch filming Brenden doing a science experiment with water. After we were done I came into the house and... Tayler said "Joshua said he was bending(his word for curling) my hair around the bush and it got stuck". I said why didn't you get me? I was afraid I would get in trouble she says. Apparently Joshua tried to pull it out and it broke. She then tells Joshua get the scissors quick and cut it out. And this is the result. I told her I could have gotten it out. But it would have hurt was her response. Tayler is not into pain and would rather have her hair cut than pulled. What can ya do, but laugh and take pictures. Oh and put Joshua on scissor restriction for the rest of his life.
I am surprised that it really doesn't bother her. I would have been horrified at this age. I am proud that she said it doesn't matter what people say Jesus still loves me, it will grow back! She has learned what is really important as an 8 year old, a lesson I myself still struggle with.
