Meet the Little Splashers

So, vacation bible school has begun at our church. For those of you unfamiliar with VBS, you and your kids are missing out. It's a week (2 hours a night) filled with songs, crafts (yes, even for the teeny tots), sugar filled treats, games and activities. In short, enough to fully exhaust this parent after one night.

OUr theme this year is "Take the Plunge." So it's all about a beach theme, and our nursery class is known as the "Little Splashers." These are the little splashers, all 6 at the table at the same time and rapt with attention to their teacher, known to my kids as their adopted grandma MawMaw Donna. Nanny is an assistant teacher, who managed to pawn off most of her assistant duties on yours truly. Something about my handwriting being neater and me being a better cutter-outer. Likely excuse...
This is Emma not looking at the camera of course, but isn't her shirt adorable and beachy? Her cousin Robby is sitting beside her and he is rocking the cutest mohawk right now. He later fed Ethan some fishies.
Here are the kids just after craft time and just before snack time (the aforementioned fishies and nice sugary blue koolaide). Last night's theme was "Plunge into Obedience." I think Ethan missed the memo as he's the single misbehaving kid in the background with the green tube going over his head. Notice how Emma will sit nicely for a looonnngg time? Not so much with Ethan.
Emma and Bradley eating their snacks nicely at the table. In about 5 minutes the sugar kicked in from the koolaide and life savers and all the kids were running around like banshees. Fun times.
Ethan finally sitting still with his fishies. A "nack" is about the only time he'll stay seated. He was thoroughly disappointed that scissors were not necessary for last night's craft since he is the official scissors passer-outer in Sunday school, and he takes that job very seriously.
So, doesn't this look like fun? I know that Sophie, Max, and Hailey want to join us, right? And anyone else with kids? It's Buffalo Church of God, 6:30-8:30 all week. Everyone is invited! Fun, food, toys, and crafts. What more could a kid want?
