Vacation Bible School

...or "Bible Cation School" as Mara Kate called it today.

This week I am helping with our church's Vacation Bible School and I am co-teaching 4 year olds with my friend Katie. They also have a class for the 2 year olds that Mara Kate is in. This class is the cutest by far as their extra-small t-shirts still hang off of them. They get to participate it all the same activities as the big kids and they all had a blast! Mara Kate loved seeing her friends Ella Ann and Diego as well as several other sweet little two year olds. They all had their matching t-shirts on and looked so grown up. The 2's are called The Apples of His Eye, so sweet.

Our 4 year olds are called Kingdom Kids and our theme this year is Olympian---so all the teaching, decorations, crafts etc. have to do with running the race and being star athletes.

We made it through the first day with lots of questions, confusion and schedules running a bit late, but I think overall everything went well. I know by Friday I'll be exhausted, but I'm excited to be a part of making this year's VBS a success.

I snapped some pictures of our Olympian Training Center (classroom) and of Mara Kate with her class as well.

Enjoy!

This morning before heading to the church.
Mara Kate wasn't happy because I had to brush tangles out of her hair.
Speaking of hair, this picture also show off my new do too.
