Bible School (At Our Church) Day 1

I can not begin to tell you how exhausted I am. We had a full, wonderful weekend, but we also had 5 hours in the car, 2 hours in the pool before said return drive, and I have some SERIOUS sunburn! (kids are fine, I always get them and forget me!)

So, while I have been kicking myself for not signing up to help with Bible School (working on that whole "getting involved" and "putting myself out there" thing), I was so grateful today I hadn't. I need that three hours to vegetate.

I dropped the kids off, and they were exhausted, but excited.  And, I should have cleaned or done more unpacking--but I as a walking zombie. So, I downloaded pictures and rested.

Back to Bible School.

I forgot to charge the camera when I got home last night, so it wouldn't work for me when I dropped them off. But, I charged it while they were gone and I got a few at pick up time.

I was hoping Thomas would be in the same class with Rebecca, his preschool friend. But, there are FIVE preschool classes at Bible School this week! And, thus, they didn't get in the same one.

But, he seems okay. Both kids said they loved it. Not that I am surprised by him. He walked in not knowing anybody in the room and sat down like he had been going in that room all of his life.  That's my Thomas.

Gracie clung to me a bit as I walked her to the sanctuary--where she didn't know any kids in her class either. But, she seemed okay when I left her, and she was the first to announce she had a good time when I picked them up.

Today all the kids were supposed to wear blue.  Each day is a different color, and they get to wear their VERY neon yellow VBS shirts on Friday for the last day, and on Sunday if they come to church, for a performance of a song(s).

So, success!  And, the realization we totally shouldn't have waited 3 years to do Bible School!
