every year, i wish i had volunteered to help - it looks like so much fun & i remember how much i loved vbs as a kid....and i know they can always use volunteers....but every year, i have to remember just how much i have on my plate & how insanely busy i'd be if i had volunteered & i have to think realistically....and it's not like we just sit around and do nothing while the kids are there - we make sure to use our free time wisely :0)
so far, they've already come home with some really cool crafts & some potted plants.....as well as plenty of stories of all the fun they're having & what they're learning!
corinn hula-hooping before she realized we were there watching
a super cute kitty glasses case that gabby made
last evening, curtis & i picked them up together.....ever since jaden's bday party when they all got new fishing poles, they've been BEGGING daddy to take them fishing.....with the busy week of vbs, there really hasn't been any time.....so last evening, he said what the heck & we took them AFTER vbs! yep, vbs ends at 8:30pm (right as the sun is going behind the mountains) & we still went - night fishing! :0) and we caught lots! it was fun & luckily there was a super bright moon out!
although, i think curtis might be regretting the fact that we got all 3 of them their own pole....as soon as one hook has a worm on it, there's a fish to be taken off another.....then another hook needs a worm....so on & so on! i help with the worms, but i'm too scared to take the fish off the hooks - i'm afraid i might hurt/kill them in the process - so i leave that to the pro ;0)

And how was everyone getting up the next morning?
well, during the summer - everyone's bedtime isn't until 9pm, so they got to bed about an hour late last night (we didn't stay fishing too super long & we did baths this morning instead of after coming home last night)....and that wouldn't b the first time - since it's summer, we sometimes stay up late with campfires & stuff - usually on the weekend, but sometimes during the week....this morning, jaden was up just as bright and early as usual (he wakes with the sun!), but gabby & corinn had to b woken up....no crankies, but they didn't wake up on their own like usual ;0)
Me too! I hate pulling the fish off. I just think of sushi and get grossed out!
now see, i LOVE sushi - just don't want to WATCH the fish die i guess ~lol~ curtis always does catch & release...sometimes we'll keep a big trout to grill when we r camping, but that's about it :0)
