V.B.S. Science Lab

We had such a blast at Vacation Bible School this week! The theme was Power Lab where the kids learned about God's power through different science experiments; The Pillar of Fire, Force of Gravity, Static Electric Shock ~ which made us all scream like little girls! The music Rocked with electric & base guitars added to the drums and piano. The kids got down with the music doing all the motions. It was an exciting week!
Makenzie loved being in Ms. Donna's group. Here she is on the left with a couple of the other girls in Crew 2. Boy did those funky neon glasses glow in the hallway lit by blacklights!
Francesco was in Ms. Sally's "Squeaky Beakers" group. They had a pet rat which was white with red eyes -ew! One night the rat got lost for a few hours. We finally found him in the Ladies bathroom; which Franceso informed me later was a good thing since HER name is "Princess"!
I was put in charge of crafts at the last minute, but everything went smoothly. It only took a couple of tries to perfect the "Oozy Goo" recipe! I think that was the kids' favorite craft - anything messy is always fun! This picture was the "Squeaky Beakers" on the 2nd night making a mobile. It was a great week but I think everyone was exhausted by Friday night (except for the kids~!)

Francesco's Preschool Graduation


I can't believe my baby just graduated preschool!! He had such a great year. His teacher was awesome! She had everyone in tears at the graduation ceremony (O.K. maybe just the moms). Especially when she played a slide show of pictures of the class through out the year and played the song, "Let Them Be Little".
Francesco the Proud Graduate with his Diploma!
Francesco's Best Buddies Elias and Carlos! Mrs. Roy had several funny stories to tell about these "3 Stooges"! Hopefully they'll all be together next year in Kindergarten, won't that teacher be in for a BIG suprise!!
