June 14-18 was VBS week at our church. G was old enough to participate this year, and I helped head the nursery crew which W & C got to be in. We all had a really great week, but I am glad that it is finished and that everything went so well.
They assigned kids of all different ages to colored teams. The theme this year was Jr Heroes of the Bible, and also incorporated the armor of God.
G was very happy she got to be on her cousin G's team. They were doted on by 2 ten yr old girls on their team who assigned themselves as their buddies - very cute.
Our nursery group consisted of 7 three yr old boys, an 11 month old girl and C (17 months), so we were made into a team all by ourselves and got to participate in most everything, which was really fun for the boys.
Little C helped Auntie C organize her crafts one morning. Auntie C was in charge of all the crafts for everyone and did an awesome job with the 250+ crafts!
We had one other member of our household participate in VBS - our garage-sale-find puppet, Mr. Moosey. His name became Bert and was used in a puppet show to introduce the kids to their lesson each day.
G got to help model the armor of God for the program along with a friend, A.
Pastor J gave a little overview of the pieces and G and A did a great job helping!
My mom and S's parents were able to come to see the program. (G waved to them when the whole group got up there to sing, and the leader actually stopped and had all the kids wave to their parents. =)
C kept a close eye on the program and danced to the songs in the back with me.
We have a fantastic pair of music leaders for the kids in our church and the kids did such a great job singing...
...and had a ton of fun, too!

A pause in this uplifting post about VBS. By Friday, the 5 days of getting up early, the 30 minute drive to church, the breakfasts and lunches in the car, and the sheer exhaustion of all the activity of the week hit. W & C had a positively awful Friday morning, as well as all of the other little kids, and therefore I almost hit my breaking point as well (and almost called off all the weekend plans we had to have everyone over to celebrate birthdays and Father's day)! Thankfully, my Mom came up on Thursday so it was nice to have her extra help. Also G got to go to Auntie C's house Friday afternoon (K & G got to have friends over between VBS and the program - hats off to you, C, for being able to do that! G had a great time!), so by the time the program rolled around Friday evening we were all a little more rested and ready to go. Now back to our regularly scheduled post...

I didn't make the connection until your post pause that VBS probably stands for Vacation Bible School. Sounds like it was a fun week! I am amazed you were able to keep up with that schedule!
I'd rather host 250 crafts than 9 babies any day of the week ;) kudos to you, too!
