We Survived the Week

So maybe trying to get back on the blogging wagon the week of Vacation Bible School wasn't my best idea ever.......it has been a LOOOOONG week, but a fun week.....and we have managed to survive! But I have to tell you the truth......I ADORE VBS! Always have! We were actually talking today about how much it has changed just in the last 10-15 years. Where we were only out of our class for a quick snack and recreation time, now the only time kids are IN the class is for 2 30-minute Bible study times. Everything else is done as a rotation....which is great for the kids....but it is a little surreal to be "so old" that I can say "back when I came to Bible school....." And I have some great memories! But, I have to say, the music that goes along with VBS now, well, it has my heart! The kids love it, the adults love it, it is fun, exciting, has motions....and every song drives home the VBS theme (another thing that we did not have....unless your theme could be "Learn the Books of the Bible" every year...again, not a bad thing, just a thing!)Anyway, tonight is commencement and ALL of the kids will be up on our stage singing to the top of their lungs! I can't wait.....to see it and, honestly, to know that the week is over!
(Sorry, no pictures today.....I just couldn't go there!)

Speaking of the week being over, I had someone ask me a funny question yesterday....they said to me, "How has your summer been so far?".....Ummmm, excuse me? Can you ask that question again?......I worked the first week of June and have been to VBS this week, so pretty much, I haven't experienced summer yet....and so I was telling H about this last night....to which he answered, "Yes, it must be terrible to get to be off for approximately 6 weeks in the summer, 2 weeks at Christmas, 1 week in the spring, all holidays.....yes, I can see where you are seriously mistreated..." Point taken, H! It takes his, um, "encouraging" sometimes to remind me how blessed I am to be able to be a working mom and have a few of the benefits of being a stay-at-home mom, just for a little while.

So, although you probably think this post doesn't have a point, and maybe, just maybe, you wonder why you even wanted me to post again, know that the purpose of this post is to say that I love VBS and I am so thankful for my job!

The end!
