• VBS 2012

  

  Last week we had VBS at church and as always, the boys were ready bright and early on the first morning.  They were so eager to get out the door, that it was next to impossible to get them to eat anything.  It's a good thing they all got a snack during class or they might have collapsed from hunger before we got home in time for a late lunch.

  

  Each class was kept busy moving from one activity to another.  JJ loved the music times and he continues to sing the songs he learned this week.  Friday evening all the boys sang some of the songs for Dean.

    

  Justin and Jeremy were much more excited about the game time which usually included getting wet in some way or another.  This is their last year to be students and they're looking forward to being helpers next year.

  Even though I only got pictures of singing and games, the lesson times were the most important time of the day.  I was blessed to walk into my classroom each morning and find students ready to quote memory verses or to let me know what extra chores they'd done at home in order to win extra prizes.  All our lessons were taken from the book of Joshua and we were all challenged. 

  On Thursday, we left after classes and drove up to Pennsylvania to get corn. Thanks to my in-laws' generosity and the boys' diligence, we got a little more than half of it processed before we came home.  Of course that meant that we had the rest to deal with Friday afternoon after finishing up VBS and I was a little more than tired by the time it was done.  We had several things planned for the week that we didn't accomplish, but the week still goes down in the "good week" column.  

  Now we have less than two weeks before we start our new school year.  At the top of our to-do list is getting the water leak under the house fixed since it means we are dealing with no water most of the day.  At the top of the boys' list is time with cousins and grandparents.  When we were talking about summer activities, Justin stated that it seemed like a very short summer break.  Since it's the longest summer break they've had in years, it must mean that they've had a good time.
