In mid-July, we did our usual VBS (at the church that isn't our home church) and then a week of a county camp. We did both of these with several other families who are our closest friends. So I loved the two weeks of childcare and knowing my kids were with friends.
As they shared their excitement over the anticipation of cookies and lemonade, Mike shared his excitement that they may learn truths that matter for eternity.
This year's theme was "Everest". They had a great time and loved every minute of it. It's always sweet to see them singing such great truths at the end of the week presentation.
Aren't they cute?! Oh, the transformation over the years!
And a few pictures from home:
snuggles with these three
This kid LOVES, LOVES, LOVES some sensory hand play! And what is most readily available at our house? Cat food! He loves the canned food, grabbing it and squeezing it and smearing it. Good thing we have our old goodwill quality couch. And good thing this mama has spent years appreciating the skill that this really is.
He also loves the dry food and water bowl. There are endless possibilities here of scooping, pouring and mixing.
Sitting like a big boy at the little table that is much too small for my big kids now.
Goo has taught Ben the finger play song "Two Little Blackbirds". We only do the first verse of the video (but now will have to try the others!) and we use "Peter and Paul, sitting on a wall". Ben has picked up on it quickly and loves to show us his blackbirds. Here he is only doing one pointer finger but can now do two. It is beyond precious. We all love seeing his little mind learn new things.
I also think that song is why he so often walks with his hands behind his back.
Appropriately, he reminds us of Old Mr Bunny in Benjamin Bunny.
I can't kiss him enough!
Library time!
Water table time!
Our next door neighbors moved across the country. :(
We were so sad to see them go.
And we now have kids living next door- very similar ages to ours! Woohoo!
