We had VBS for just one day last Saturday and it was a fun and long day!
I was in charge of the crafts, and usually it’s just me, but this time I had a helper who planned and prepped the second craft we were doing, then 2 days before VBS she got Covid! So another lady stepped up to help me and the way we do VBS is in “stations” so the kids have a teacher or two already and move around to the stations, we had 25 total kids in 3 groups, the largest group had 10 kids.
The VBS theme was Ephesians 6:10-18 put on the Armor of God!
Dan had cut out these shields in wood and we got gold and silver and black paint to paint them (we’ve used this shield before for a medieval themed VBS)
The other was a sword made out of pool noodles and a PVC pipe inside and then lots of TAPE and stickers!
The kids did great and had fun! Sonja and Anja participated, Bjorn and Solveig helped the youth group doing the “Arena” games! so we all helped one way or another! Oh and our pastor’s wife got Covid too, and she usually runs the VBS, so our church’s secretary- Brittney did that part 🙂
Brittney also homeschools, she was the one who really helped me when we decided to homeschool and then I found Sonlight! She uses Charlotte Mason with her kids and hosts a “scouting” co-op at her house, we participated last year and I’ve shown that Solveig started making and selling button pins for it, well now she finally finished a whole set of 12 to go with the scouting book-which Brittney wrote!
and now I have the whole set of button pins listed on Etsy!
I recently sent a quilt to my friend from Florida’s daughter who just had a baby! When I graduated after college in FL I got a job (not related to my degree at all) at a phone company and I met Nancy! her and I became friends and she had 2 daughters Maddie and Sadie who were 7 and 11, now Maddie is in her mid 30s, got married almost 2 years ago and now has a baby!! wow I feel old!! ha ha, I guess that’s life.
I’ve been making stuffed owls and eyeglass cases but I’ll have to show those in a post next week!
