After sending the big kids off to Brazil, the rest of us went racing with VBS .
REV IT UP! Full Throttle for God
We made the keys chains for Monday’s craft. On Tuesday they put together their candy bar racer (and took them home to eat!) and painted the empty TP tubes for their inedible race cars.
Wednesday's craft was a foam license plate. Thursday they put their TP tube race cars together. And Friday was a checkered flag placemat. Jill has the coolest toys tools ~ Check out the laminator! And the trophies came out of her Cri-cut.
Thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thursday was Crazy Hat Day :-)
And snacks too! Leah & Brianna were two of our helpers.
Monday we served slices of co-jack cheese and NASCAR-themed Ritz crackers.
My oh-so-clever-and-always-helpful Chief Snack Assistant Tricia came up with the great way to serve the frozen 'fun pops' {in a pitcher} on Tuesday ~ along with a bag of chips.
The Cattleman and the Popper helped by cooking the 120 hot dogs we served on Wednesday. It's not very often we can provide "all you can eat" snacks! The kids thought it was great :-)
For Thursday Tricia put together a snack mix of pretzels, m&m’s, car-shaped marshmallows and graham crackers, and Bugles.
Friday we had pizza! and a homemade cookie :-)
You might notice that I didn’t take pictures of our largest class ~ the 4 and 5 year olds ;-) The Popper and the Cattleman each had less than ten children in their classes usually. The 4-5yo and 1st-2nd grade classes, however, had 20-25 children every day. woo hoo! We had lots of fun with them all!
The Cattleman memorized enough verses that he and a friend had a show-down in a Sword Drill Sunday night to determine the final winner of the big prize before the final program. They both win big with those verses in their minds and hearts!
Afternoons at home ~ (when we weren’t shopping or visiting the chiropractor) ~ I let the kids watch some library videos (dvds, yah). Swiss Family Robinson and The Lone Ranger. Good fun.
Looks like a lot of fun!! I think my kids would enjoy that!!

Hey, Melanie--loved seeing your pictures! (Wish we could have helped with VBS, but pesky, pesky work...well, I guess I am thankful for a good job, so I will go to pesky, pesky work...) ANYWAY, you have a picture of my niece in your pictures--just darling, so thanks for snapping it! (The one on the right, right above the Popper eating pizza!) And, my two nieces that attended LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the hot dogs for snack, so that was a real winner! Tell your kids thanks for all of THEIR help, too, in helping you with VBS! --Christine
ReplyDeleteThanks, Felicity & Christine ~
ReplyDeleteFor some reason this morning I had the urge to *save* the empty roll from the toilet paper... ;-)
