VBS...is over!

The VBS day4: Thurdsay went much better, although no nap afterwards made bedtime, well, not great. My energy just plummeted about the time Emma decided she didn't want me to leave after I put her to bed. But somehow it ended up well...Emma put me to bed...tucked me in, turned on the 'rain,' and then went and put herself to bed. I also got to talk to Steven which helped me relax enough to go to sleep. 

VBS Day 5: although I woke up not so great...part of the adrenal fatigue...the day ended up being good. I had a very energetic helper in my group who Emma knows and loves. And we really had a great group of kids. I'm so glad I got the group I did...I know most of their moms, the big kids were great with the little ones, and everyone seemed to have fun. Overall, VBS went well...no incidents with any of the kids all week, and cleaning up today went super fast. Our chapel staff really did a great job getting ready for it, helping out (they were all there the whole week) and being flexible. It is nice to be part of their team, I couldn't ask for better people to work with. 

Tomorrow I promised Emma we would spend the whole day together, just us. We are going out for breakfast, and we can play Uno, do puzzles, watch more shark shows. I finally put her blackout curtains back up, so maybe we will even get some extra sleep...we definitely need it. I am looking forward to having the next few weeks to relax, go to the pool, and just enjoy the summer. 

Eileen has a loud, teacher voice. She always got the kids to yell out their "wow God!" Too loud for the rest of us. Emma usually covered her ears.

These 3 usually sat out the games. Sometimes that meant I had to play, but it was fun. Thankfully today my helper played, as I am on the verge of getting sick/losing my voice.

Emma was ready to go yesterday. She carried my stuff to the car. We brought my work stuff and lunch and stuff for her to do so I could work afterwards, but the computer wasn't cooperating, so we just left and ran errands.

Playing at home before going to dance class. For all we did yesterday we really had a good day...but we crashed and burned at the end.

Healthy snacks! I was not impressed with most of the snacks, but today they had healthy food! 

Ms. Elieen got them yelling again...so Emma covered her ears.

Last day, singing for the parents.

Side note: Yesterday we were talking about sin, and they asked the kids what sin was. Emma's answer: candy. (I think she also said 'something you aren't supposed to do,' but candy is what she told them.) And when they asked her if she knew what God's plan for her was, she said, "love." ❤️
