Our bible verse was Jesus is the Light and those creative snack ladies made a cupcake inside an ice cream cone to look like a flashlight. It took me over five minutes to convince the class to take a bite. They thought the frosting was cheese.
Yesterday was a rainbow gummy over blue jello for a verse that I have forgotten. We were afraid to try this too. Luckily there was 1/2 a banana too.

My daughter, the child pied piper. She is very low key and everyone talked about how much calmer the preschoolers were this year.
We practiced for the show tonight. We also practiced at the end of the day with the other classes. By then 3 classmates were in the back of the church with me, refusing to walk up the aisle. 2 more started crying during the song. We are not performers. I did not attend the presentation and carnival tonight. Vacation Bible School wore me out!
Tomorrow I am going to a Taylor Swift concert! It is not really Taylor Swift but we are just as excited as if it was! It is at a minor league baseball complex and Gramma has sprung for seats on the raised deck with a table with an umbrella and wait staff who will bring us lemonades. It is by the rail and the younger ladies can still dance. My daughter, youngest granddaughter and her friend are going. I even have a Taylor Swift outfit. It's a t-shirt that says "I am in my Gramma Era".
Your Gramma Era! That is adorable. Glad you made it through the week!
ReplyDeleteI like how the name tags are on the back. I'm still trying to figure out the flashlight too; like it has a butterscotch coating on it. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteThese little ones are precious and you had me chuckling over those snack pics and the kids reactions! Loved the photos Miss Merry 😄❤️❤️❤️🙏
ReplyDeleteGramma Era ...me too but Great Gramma Era! Have fun! I understand how the little ones can tire you out..three is so little to go to VBS,
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your energy? This inquiring mind wants to know. It looks like bible school has been made fun for the kidlets.
ReplyDeleteWhat a week you had! Gotta love 3 year olds! Have a wonderful time at the baseball game, livin’ the life!!…lemonade service! … Cheers! ❣️Virginia
ReplyDeleteMiss Merry, you should be worn out. I don't know where you find the energy. But kudos for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely close to such an important week of meetings! You've said things and done things that will echo in those little lives for all time---a sweet Thank You or comment so right for the time and their age, even if you didn't know it at the time.
ReplyDeleteBrava to all the teachers, minders, helpers, and KoolAid stirrers out there, in June Churches all over the land!
My ganjin Era has been going on since 1985, with Grands from 41 to threeee, and my T-shirt might be shocking.
What an adorable group of kids doing adorable things.
ReplyDeleteVBS is exhausting. Just ask me how I know! Ha! Love the snacks and laughed out loud at the fact that they didn't want to eat the unfamiliar snacks. I found a brand new Taylor Swift mug-never used, at the Goodwill this week for my granddaughter. I haven't told her yet and I know she'll be thrilled.

Those snacks. Wow. Well done. And have great fun at the game!
ReplyDeleteWow. I went with my cousins once when I was little to VBS for one day. It wasn't very fun to a kid who had never gone to church and not fun because it was so boring. I love that the kids had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the concert.
"Gramma era" I like that. Maybe I'll use "Nana era". So cute. My Grands had VBS too, fun learning experiences.
ReplyDeleteDear Miss Merry, your photos are beautiful and captivating! Thank you so much for all you do to make others' lives enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteI bet that sugary treats had the kiddos really going wild.
ReplyDeleteI thought of helping out with our VBS which is combined with 2 other parishes and ends up with about 75 kids but I would have to go through the whole credentialing process. I thought I was done with all of that when I stopped working as a nurse...The finger printing, criminal back ground checks, the Safe environment training program and the code of Pastoral conduct all required by the state of PA. Once done , they are good for 5 years but I would not be able to get them done in time for this year's VBS...Thanks so much for all your visits and kind words and I really do want to see what your new hair cut looks like!!
