This week has been a long and tiring one for me and it's not quite over either! Our church is doing V.B.S. (Vacation Bible School) and I'm one of the helpers. I was a group leader for the 10-12 age
group, but I switched to helping Emily in her group of little kids. Our group is averaged fifteen little kids. Yeah, I'm sleeping good tonight! It can get a
little chaotic at times but I love every minute of even still! Little kids are so funny and cute and there's never a dull moment with them, that's for sure!
Here's a couple pics from the week.
Kenny the Clown was there to make sure the snack break didn't get too dull. ;D
Kenny's sidekick maybe? Yeah, he is a little weird. The little kid in the white shirt seems to be saying, "Stay away from me, you creepy fiend!"
Object lesson class; Boys...
Against girls. I won't say who won though. :P
Snack time, mess hall style! I think this was my favorite part. :D All the leaders got cookies. Alright! :
Crafts. Hmmm... Fifteen little kids and bottles of glue. Not a good idea. We went through a good deal of paper towels that day. :D
Game time, freeze tag!
Is this some apparition I see before me!?"
One of my favorite little girls, Breanna (with a sucker in her mouth). She's the cutest thing!
Ah, another one of my favorites, Trey. He's the kind of kid who's found the secret to perpetual movement and has passion for making mischeif. Yup, that's Trey!
I love working with these little guys. One sweet little girl named Sophia asked me if I would be leading her group again tomorrow. "Yes," I replied cautiously. "Do you want me to?" "Yes!" was the emphatic answer. During crafts one of the boys needed help with his project. My helper went to assist him but he specifically asked for me to help him. It's funny the way kids'll latch onto certain people like that. In another case, Breanna drew a picture of two stick people hugging each other and presented it to Emily (who is also in my group) and said, "This person is you and the other is me."
I'll be kind of sad when V.B.S ends, but then I think of my bed which is just waiting to be slept in on. V.B.S. ends this Friday, so I'll be sleeping like a brick Saturday morning and no amount of poking, pulling or pummeling with pillows will wake me (hint, hint Em). :P
