Anyway, our church did Vacation Bible School and I was the teacher for all the kids again this year (three years running now). John was roped into being the general runner/getter as well as official photographer each night. We were both exhuasted by the end of the night. As was William. Which is why I'm posting here about it. William loved VBS with all his heart, which is why I'm posting about it here. Technically, William is too young for VBS. However, there were only 2 little girls signed up in the preschool age group and the director asked us (yes, she asked us) if William could come a year early to VBS.
So, John was running around, I was teaching, teaching teaching, and William was running around with excitement until he would collapse on the way home. Several nights he even commented "I'm tired." which is unheard of around these parts. Amelia spent most of her time being passed between different moms who were helping with the various events. She was very spoiled by the end of the week. She forgot that sometimes it is nice to just lay on the floor. Or not be in someone's arms for hours on end.

William liked nothing better than to be on the stage in front of everyone else during the opening.
Playing games with the other preschoolers. Otherwise known as: not listening and making the teenagers in charge of the games mad.
A group effort to help William run the sling shot.
William shoots water balloons from the sling shot with some help. I'm not sure how I feel about him learning to use this at such an early age. His sister may bear the brunt of learning this skill.
A safer skill is blowing bubbles - still requires some assistance to ensure he doesn't eat the bubbles. The girl in yellow here is William's teacher, bless her heart. I think she was more tired than any of us by the end of the evening every night. She was wonderful with him and so patient!
Bubbles are fun!
