Vacation Bible School

Last week we had VBS.  This was Tyler's first time and he loved it.  I was his crew guide and he was with several friends.  The theme was Kingdom Rocks.  We got the CD of music ahead of time and Tyler still loves listening to it.  He learned all the motions for the songs too.  Everyday we started off with everyone, then we went to games, snack, crafts, epic bible (a bible story acted out), and chadder-another story acted out, but it was about a guy wanting to become a Knight, not a bible story, but he used the bible point to help him out.  Everyday the kids could bring money to raise money for Bibles to send to India.  Tyler really liked doing that.  He did several different chores each night to earn money to take.  I'm trying to think of other ways we can continue this giving spirit. 
Here are some pictures of the week. 

Tyler picked out our shirts-his favorite color is green!

My Crew.  We were the Red Falcons.

Duck Pond

We fed the ducks and turtles at the duck pond a few days ago.  The kids loved it!!

Last days of being a Kindergartener

The last week of school, they had lots of fun things for the kids.  Monday was board games in class. Tuesday was a kick ball tournament.  Tyler was absent that day, but his class made it to the finals, so he was able to play in one game on Wednesday.  His class lost, but second place out of six isn't too bad.  That afternoon, they had a water day.  It was lots of fun.  There were 6 stations/games set up and it was hot, so the water felt great.

Thursday they could take a pillow and blanket and had a movie day with their class.  The teacher ordered pizza for lunch.  They also had popcorn and cupcakes. 
Here is my 1st grader now!

Busy Saturday

What a busy Saturday we had!  We went to the park in the morning, then to Home Depot to build a lawn mower pencil holder, and then to Pet Smart to see all the animals.  They were having dog adoptions, so the kids were in heaven. 

This was Molly's first time climbing up this.  She did great!

Just hangin' around.  This girl loves to hang.

oooh,, what's under this rock?

It's a baby grub.  Tyler tried to convince me it was so cute. 

Panda Express was handing out coupons and they had this bear there for their restaurant.  Molly was so scared of it, poor thing.  She stood looking the opposite way the whole time, looking at the floor, and telling me, home, home.  She wouldn't hammer in any nails or help with her project.  She'd look over at him out of the corner of her eye every now and then, but was very worried. 

After Molly's nap, we headed to the pool.  Tyler went down the slide several times by himself.  And Molly went down with me twice.  I thought for sure we'd get to the top and she'd tell me no, but she loved it!  At the pool, we ran into her friend, Elliott.  I've posted before about Mike and Linda.  They used to live here, then moved to IN.  They love the kids and our dogs.  Their daughter Lauren was at the pool with her adorable son.  The two had fun playing together.

After the pool, we had a going away party for some friends that are being stationed in Korea.  I don't have pictures of that, but we had a fun time.
