VBS

Saddle Ridge Ranch
Grace was slightly confused by the name Vacation Bible School. When we pulled up to the church the first night she said, "Mom, this is not a school this is our church."

My children have started the habit of picking up more than Bible knowledge at VBS.... I am still scared from the nightmare experience we had last summer when Grace brought home lice (i can barely type the word without a shiver running down my spine). This summer was a different unwelcome invader- a virus. A really nasty high fever, horrible cough, wipe you out for 2 weeks kind of virus. Grace actually only got to attend VBS for two nights and then had to stay home sick. So, that was a bummer. Faith however went for two additional nights all by her big girl self. I was so proud! She cracked me up swinging her little arm doing the lasso action and saying, "I gotta go do that song." They were both proud of the cowgirl vests they made.

I enjoyed helping in the two year old classroom, which was different as I have always been a teacher. But, this was a great match for me this summer with having a small infant. Titus did great in the nursery (even though he was up late). I am looking forward to our family being more fully involved next summer!

Titus' First Cereal






I think the pictures pretty much tell the story- my little baby is getting all grown up!

Super Why at the Library





This month our local library hosted a SUPER fun event. Super Why, from the PBS Kids show "Super Readers" visited. The girls both love this show and highly anticipated the event. They got to see Super Why and listen to a few stories being read by the hostess from PBS.

We also had the excitement of showing up on the local news. While we were waiting for Super Why to arrive (he was a little late) I pulled out some of our library books and began reading to my kiddos. My goal was to keep them occupied while they waited, but this was the perfect film clip while the woman at PBS explained the important of reading to your kids. While I wasn't trying to "get on the news" the girls thought this was a very fun bonus. There was a meet & greet photo op at the end, but as excited as they were they wouldn't get close. So, no great pictures....oh, well. I love taking advantage of free fun events like these!
