VBS Kickoff

Tonight we had Vacation Bible School Kick-off! The kids had loads of fun. There were water jumpers and all three kiddos just got soaked! I picked up all of the stuff for my class. It is going to be very interesting to see how I do in a roomful of 15 four year olds! They didn't have the Prince in my class so I sent an email to see if I could steal him back. I want him with me! They had hotdogs and hamburgers for the kiddos to eat. DadOf3 and I opted out because we wanted to eat at home. The kids liked the hotdogs though and they especially liked getting a Sprite all to themselves! They don't get to have soda very often.

All dressed up with somewhere to go!

Our FamilyOf5 woke up around 7:30 this morning. The Princess and the Prince had a successful sleepover and actually slept in! Remember that the Prince is an early riser - he gets up at 6:00 in the morning willingly every day of the week. Sleeping until 7:30 is a treat! After breakfast we all headed to church. The kids went to Sunday School while DadOf3 and I went to the service. We used to try and take everyone to the service, but it just does not work. The Princess usually does pretty well, but the Prince and the Knight do not like to sit still at all! They want to get up on our laps and then they want to get down and then they want to go potty and then they want to sit up on our laps again and then they want to color. I think you get the idea. DadOf3 and I just don't get anything out of the sermon when we take everyone. PLUS they actually LIKE Sunday school! The Princess had a craft today and was able to do some coloring. The Prince got an animal cracker snack and made a picture of clouds using real cotten balls to teach him how "God is everywhere." The Knight got to go play with some kids his own age. His teachers have bubbles, and the Knight loves bubbles. They all had a fun time. Ours is a pretty big church. It has quite an expansive parking lot. The church even has men in golf carts driving around the parking lot looking for anyone who needs help getting to the door. Every once and a while, one of the guys will come and pick up our FamilyOf5 and drive us to the Sunday school area. If you are 3 or 5 in our family, this is the coolest thing EVER! The Prince not only gets to sit in the front seat of this golf cart, he doesn't have to wear a seat belt! Now that is being a rebel in our family! The kids were pretty disappointed this morning when we didn't get a lift to church. After church and after picking up the kids from Sunday school, we were literally 3 feet from Otis the van when one of the guys showed up and asked if we wanted a ride. After explaining that we were already at our van, he gave us a wink and asked if we wanted to take a spin around the church parking lot anyway. This made the Prince's and the Princess's day! The Prince got his favorite front seat spot. The Princess sat in between DadOf3 and me, and the Knight sat on my lap. Too fun! More later! DadOf3 is outside working on the deck and the Princess, the Prince, and the Knight are up for naps. It is a cloudy day so they just might sleep! Here's to hoping!
