My church had Backyard Bible Club this past week. A little more on that here. I helped with crafts most of the time. [This story is for you, Beth.] ---> One night as I'm standing & helping the kids with what they're doing, this girl leans against my arm & then immediately looks at me & says "I got wingworm." Um...excuse me? You have what? So I finally realize that she is saying ringworm. While I'm thinking & trying to decipher what she's saying, I realize that she's talking about how contagious it is. So, the kid knowingly tried to give me ringworm. My thoughts: thanks girl, I'll now be taking 12 baths tonight. (Like I need an excuse for another bubble bath...
Other interesting things that were said:
"This is VBS??? That's why we've been talking about Jesus all week? If I'd known that I wouldn't have come!" Sadly, this really happened. Not only is it said that he was so opposed to talking about Jesus, but also sad that it took him until day 5 to put that together.
"I can't play dose water games because I just got a perm & my mama say dat'll be fity-fid dolla down da drain." Now imagine hearing this 12 times a day. She was my favorite :)
And now, because I can't really put it into words...some pictures.
relay races at Rec
Delia & Karen helping kids with their picture frames
there was LOTS of water fun at Rec. which was great for the kids since it was 800 degrees & very humid. not so great when you had to calm them down after that.

Bible story time
favorite picture of the week. I just love that the verse in his hand is so clear...& that big grin...& the half-eaten apple in his lap...
it was hard for them to pay attention when it was so hot & everything was going on right around them...& they were SOAKED.
my mom & Michelle...the storytellers.
