Only 2 more days to go! Woohoo! We are more or less surviving this week of VBS. Normally I love VBS, I love getting to be silly with all the kids, sing songs, teach them about God. This year I still love it, but I am wearing thin. We basically come home and crash every day. I knew this week would be exhausting, but having other issues is complicating things. I'm pretty sure I have adrenal fatigue, and despite the fact that I want to do certain things, I just can't. With Steven gone we are just in survival mode. If I push too hard, I can't do a good job of taking care of Emma, so lots of other things may have to wait.
Emma was pretty tired today, so she just wanted to stay with me and go with my group, so I let her. She has been napping every day, but I think pretty soon we need a down day...just staying home doing nothing, not even cleaning. (Gasp!)
She took a picture of me blow-drying her hair.
Waving the torches around like Gideon's army!
Part of this game was pouring cups of water into a Baggie that I held over my head. Emma loved this game, as you can see...so did the other kids. Yes, I got wet. But then I got to chase them around and sprinkle them with water.
Emma and Ada playing with their toy things. Emma is 4 1/2, as she will tell you. She is really too big for the preschool class, but since she is not 5 yet, was not put in with the kindergarteners/big kids. We keeping having this problem...at school she is with the bigger kids, but everywhere else puts her with the younger ones. Oh well...she does adjust well, as she knows lots of kids in both classes.
Post VBS nap, day 3...she made it to her bed!
