Bible School, Last Day

What a day!

The kids were excited about their final day at Bible School.  For different reasons of course.

Gracie was excited about earning the Sweet Frog coupon and proud that she had memorized verses all week. Thomas was excited about getting "on the stage" and singing.

We don't really have a stage in the sanctuary, and as I figured, there was no "up front" performance. You can't fit 300+ kids up there. So, Thomas was a bit disappointed when I picked him up from his classroom, but I reminded him he would probably get to "perform" on Sunday and daddy would be there to see him too!

Gracie of course was bouncing when I got her, since she had earned her Sweet Frog coupon. She didn't even seem to disappointed Thomas got one too. He of course can't read, and would unlikely be able to repeat back a memorized verse, but she is sure he earned it some how.

As I mentioned earlier in the week, Rebecca from preschool also goes to our church, and she and Thomas were not put in the same Bible School class. They seemed okay with it, but we moms thought it might be fun to let them have lunch together.

Thomas and Rebecca's friend Bryce was feeling kind of lonely this week since his daddy and his cousins are all out of town, so we invited them to come along too!

WE took the kids to an over-crowded Chick-Fi-A, but like most kids do, they had a great time despite the business.  After eating most of their lunches they were off to play before we all headed home.

And, since we were on a roll....we found even more Bible School friends tonight at dinner.

Daddy mercifully saved me from dinner duty and even treated to my favorite restaurant: Red Robin!

While we were enjoying ourselves anyway, daddy was an especially proud papa tonight.  Of course Gracie memorized verses, but even more exciting (at the moment) was that Gracie was helping our family be treated as VIP's.

Gracie's Bible School helper was also a waitress at Red Robin, and when she saw our daughter we were seated in 5 minutes instead of the 20 we had been told, and then we were given VIP treatment at the table. 

Mommy of course had to take a picture of Gracie and her friend--because that is what mama's do.

The kids had a great day, and we will save the Sweet Frog coupons for another day.
