Monday Update

We started Vacation Bible School this week! I signed the Prince and the Princess up and then decided that since the Knight and I would be in the car 2 hours a day (2 round trips) anyway, that it would be a good idea for me to sign up to teach and have the Knight go into the nursery. I do not regret it, but man! Monday was a tough day. I am teaching in a room full of 16 four year olds, including the Prince. Man! They sure do keep me on my toes. Unfortunately Monday it was just me and three 11 year old helpers. I was supposed to have another teacher with me, but she emailed and told me that she would not be able to make it on Monday. The logistics of delivering my 5 year old and my 2 year old to their classes and being in my class with my almost four year old before class begins and within a 10 minute time frame is a little tricky. One adult has to be in the classroom with the 4 year olds. We cannot leave an 11 year old to baby-sit. Today we taught the kids that "God is real!" We talked about real things versus fake things. I was actually proud of myself and got up in front of about 60 people and told the Bible story of the day. Talk about getting out of my comfort zone! Yikes! We have a total of 700 kids total at VBS this week. 700 KIDS! Isn't that amazing?

DadOf3's company went through another round of lay-offs on Monday too. Since DadOf3's team lost several people last time, they were spared this time. DadOf3 was not worried about his job but each time this happens it makes us think about where we are and where we want to be.
