Our lovely costumes for a lovely week!(Well, almost lovely-maybe more busy)
Unlike what my mother says, VBS is fun...most of the time.This was what I was thinking when I met my group; Oh my goodness they're sooo cute! Uh-Oh, that girl looks scared. This girl only answers my questions with 'no' and raspberries. This girl is crying because she's scared of some of our Jr. crew leaders. This girl is completely spoiled rotten, she is really pushing it! Why is that Jr. crew leader only holding onto that girl when there are fifteen kids in our room?Other than that, though, I am enjoying VBS a lot. And my kids are sooooo cute! Except for the stinker But I am convinced that while Mother dear says two-year-olds are exhausting, four and five-year-olds are tiring too...especially when you have a cold and three times a day you are doing a workout. (By aworkout I mean worship. The worship team learns the worship songs in advance so that they can teach the kids, and it really is a workout!)
Getting to know my kids (ahem- not my, uh, real kids) was really fun. And almost all of them simply ooooozed sweetness! (Once again, except for the stinker)
Hear is a random note:
As I said, I am on the worship team. Since I work with four and five year olds, it is my job to keep them interested in the songs. (You smile really big, you jump really big, you do facial expressions really big, you dance really big, and you CRASH REALLY BIG!) Yesterday, we had pictures taken with us and our kids (again, NOT our real kids) and I began to feel a strange sensation around my mouth. I knew my smile looked cheesy, but I could not make it un-cheesy! There is such a thing as smiling too much...but not when it hurts...I was just out of real smiles!
A couple of days ago, someone asked me if I would be happy when VBS was over...my reply was "I wont be happy when it's over.......but I wont be sad either. I'll just think it was a good thing while it lasted...but now it is DONE!"
Although I most definitely will not be coming back next week for VBS, I will most definitely be back next year!!!!!

I never said they weren't fun...I said they were exhausting! And you looked FAB up front for worship....they were blessed by your "Bigness"! :)
Hehe... there's always one. I'm glad you didn't get too frustrated :) You were awesome this week! Looking forward to next year, where hopefully they'll let us work a group together! hehe
