VBS- Day 2


Okay, so I thought I would be able to post pics of VBS yesterday but I was too tired. It was so fun but it totally wore me out!! This week is HOT. I think Day 1 and 2 were a success. We added about 10 kids to our enrollment and everything went smoothly. Allie and Tyler were so active in the nursery that they both came home and slept for 3 hours...at the same time. That is an amazing thing.

We also got an update on Chris' job interview situation with Honda. He is still being considered but they still don't have a definite answer for us. They also told him it would be in Minneapolis rather than Chicago. Both are about the same distance from our parents so that doesn't make too much difference. So we are still in limbo. My planning ways are really being tested right now!

First Blog




Hmm, I have been inspired by my brother in law's blog to start one of my own. I think it will be a good way for my parents, inlaws and family to keep up with what is happening with Chris and I and our cute kiddos. :)

I have been preparing all week for Vacation Bible School. This is my third year coordinating it for my church. I was first inspired to coordinate VBS during my son's baptism. Why? I have no idea. I had just quit my full time job. I had been a volunteer coordinator for a few years and figured this would be no problem. Little did I know it involved singing and dancing to choregraphy (thank God I was a cheerleader) and generally teaching bible stories/verses to kids. Yikes! Quite a bit out of my comfort zone. I guess it went okay because they have let me keep the position for the last two years.

So I am fully prepared for Crocodile Dock to start tomorrow. Tyler loves dancing and singing the songs. Super cute if I do say so myself. Big Als doesn't seem as excited about it- probably because she will be spending 3 hours in the nursery tomorrow morning. I'll post pics tomorrow. So here are a few pics of my cuties ready for bed. I am heading there now.
