Vacation Bible School

Filed Under Singing, Three Months Old- Taylor, Three Years Old, VBS, Video | Leave a Comment

Bailey went to Vacation Bible School this summer at another church. It was actually a great experience for her. The theme was something like “Bee a Believer” with bumblebees. Every day they learned new Bible stories and memory verses. They did a craft and ate snack and sang songs and played outside. And of course each day when I asked her what the story was about, she said, “Jesus.” Duhhh. She did learn the phrase “God does BIG THINGS!” and it was so cute to hear her say that. I’m not sure how much of it she really understands yet, though.

The last night of VBS they had a celebration service for all the families to attend. On the way there, she kept telling me she was not going to sing the songs. This video is so “typical Bailey.” She is fake smiling for the camera and talking through clenched teeth. She is also trying to get me to turn around and face forward. That child- the world is her stage. Click on the link to watch the video, it’s funny-

One of the highlights of the evening was meeting the puppets. The pastor took her backstage and let her see them up close. She had been obsessing about those puppets all week. It was the first thing she talked about every day when I picked her up. And apparently she asked her teacher all.the.time. when it would be time for the puppet show.

The classes took turns going out in the aisle to sing their songs for everyone. Obviously she went back on what she said and totally ended up participating. Bailey did a great job and it was so cute to watch her do all the hand motions she had learned that week. And the really bad singing voice is NOT mine. Mine is bad but I know better than to sing while holding a video camera.

Can’t leave out Taylor. He slept through about half of the celebration service, and it was LOUD. I wish I could sleep like a baby. That phrase makes so much sense. Once he woke up he was fascinated by all the kids running around. He keeps his eye on his sister. I think he knows she’s sneaky.

They also had popsicles and popcorn and stuff afterward. Bailey was twirling and somehow flung her pushpop up and it popped out of the wrapper and basically rained down all over her head. Oh what a sticky mess. I think this picture was taken about a minute before that happened.

Also bear with me as I attempt to add more video clips to this blog. We got a Flip video camera and I love it but lots to learn. I must be stupid because these are supposed to be easy!!

A few things my darling three year old has said lately-

Mommy, when we grow up, you can be a doctor. Daddy will be an ambulance, and I will be the ouchie girl.

To my friend Sarah who was over the other day: Miss Sarah, you want to see Taylor’s wee wee?

I am a Twisted Sister. This is my song. “Twisted Sister, let me show you how. Everybody haive, everybody haive!”

I am keeping my Ario (Ariel) underwear dry. Because I have my diaper on under them.

And along those same lines-
I don’t like to wear underwear. It’s for other girls, but it’s not for me.

I have lots of friends. Everybody loves me. You love me, and Daddy loves me, and Grammy loves me, and Grampa loves me, and Ella loves me, and Piper loves me…

I may never march in the imputry, ride in the cavarry, shoot the artillery… but I’m in the Lord’s army. Yes sir! (over and over again as she marches around- it’s so cute!)

Mom can we look at bows again on your computer?

I’m not going to take a nap. I’m not tired. I’m just going to lay in my bed so I can let my eyes rest a little bit.

To a woman wearing a shirt with a bright butterfly spanning across one breast: I like your b00bie.

As I was laying out Taylor’s outfit on Saturday: Oh, he’s going to be so cute in that!

I don’t like that shirt. It’s too yucky for me. It’s just for other girls.

On the way home from Target: Mommmmm, all that shoppin’ made me so tired!

When I was getting ready to get in the shower the other day-
Bailey: If I’m a good girl while you’re in the shower, I can have two licorices?
Me: What??
Bailey: I’m just tricking you, Mom. I only need one licorice!

Taylor, you’re my best friend in the whole wide world.

You’ll have to turn your head to watch this one too. I have never claimed to be great with technology. Someday I’ll figure out how to rotate the video files.
