Yay! We survived! It was a fun week, but I am so tired. Now I can sit back, relax and wait for all this sickness to morph into bronchitis and a sinus infection. I think I'm on my way! Yee-Haw!
Today was good. The kids made picture frames so they could take home the photos we took earlier in the week, and they were pretty cute. I spent a lot of time on the floor during craft time, Cinderella-style, scrubbing up the encrusted paint from yesterday. Let me tell you, my right arm is going to be sore tomorrow! I just wanted to get it done, because I knew we wouldn't be able to stay up at the church all afternoon. My kids were in desperate need of naps, and I had to go pretty quickly after VBS was over. Luckily, we were able to get the room cleaned up, tear the decorations down, and walk out of the building before 1:30!
There is a really sweet family in our church that has horses, and they were nice enough to bring them to the church today for the kids to ride! Talk about adorable!
Check out the horse.
I guess it doesn't like Nicholas much.
He wasn't scared at all!
Once Ethan saw that Nicky didn't die, he decided to go for a ride.
Turns out, he really liked it!
I think this year's VBS was awesome! Total offerings from the kids were over $650...wow! Because of this (and the offering competition between the boys and the girls), our pastor and associate pastor ended the day by getting "pie" in their faces! The fact that the "pies" were made of beans, mashed potatoes, and who knows what else only made this event more disgusting. I'm guessing the kitchen staff was trying to use up the leftover food? (Hurl.)
Of course, the embarrassment of our church leadership wouldn't be complete without some photographic evidence! Heehee...
Bro. (Dr.) Bill and Dr. Edge
Check out those cocky smiles.
Yeah, those will disappear...
Oh, yeah!
Nice throw, Cole!
That's nasty.
Hope you guys didn't eat dinner prior to viewing this.
So, Saddle Ridge Ranch is over. I'm glad, because I'm tired, but I love working with the kids at VBS, so I'm already looking forward to next year! Whether I'll be brave enough to actually volunteer to work is still up in the air. Talk to me next week, when my arms aren't sore anymore and I'm feeling better. :)
I wish I'd been able to make it this week. Unfortunately, The Sick has been visiting our house, and I didn't want to spread it around. My nephews had a lot of fun on Monday, but got an offer to stay with a friend for a couple days, and decided to do that instead for the rest of the week. They had already done the Saddle Ridge Ranch program at my Grandma's church last week. I'm glad you had a good time with it. Hopefully you recover soon. I think we're pretty much all better now.
