Love bugs

Since we have all been going to Vacation Bible School this week, I have been trying to balance keeping the boys busy, and letting them rest. We've taken it day by day.
On Tuesday, we went to see Wind in the Willows at Imagination Stage in Bethesda. The play was so boring!!! You know it was bad when the boys tried to lay down in their seat and take a nap! When it was over, I asked them, "What did you think?" I guess they didn't want to hurt my feelings because they said, "It was good!" NO IT WASN'T!!! ha!

Leviticus VBS

Our VBS this week is based on Biblical feasts such as Passover. Jason has been doing the lesson each night for the kids. Last night, he laughed and said this may be the only VBS based on Leviticus. Luckily, the kids seem to be really enjoying it. Here Jason is about to pour water over this poor kid as he taps on the the rock. Later, he pretended to saw this poor girl with a REAL saw. She was the sacrifice. Like I said, the kids seem to really enjoy the stories!
Last night, I kept sneaking into Ethan's room with the camera. I wanted to make sure that he has some VBS memories on record!!!
He posed for me each time I came in!
Link didn't mind posing during crafts!!! The kids have become much more comfortable with us. Tonight, they were even a little WILD!!!

Self Timer

I took some pictures with Bob's camera when we were in town a few weeks ago. Bob sent some of the pictures along with the boys this weekend. Here are two of my favorites.

Shake it up Cafe-VBS

I am so excited that the boys are back! I was missing them so much! They made it back in time for Vacation Bible School! Lincoln's best buddy, Trey, went with us again this year. They had so much fun playing together today.
They were side by side most of the night!

Daddy was a big help tonight. He helped a few boys feel comfortable tonight. He also helped Lincoln see the props during the story tonight.And.....look how cute he looks in his apron!!!

Father's Day

On this Father's Day, I will spend it will the best Daddy ever! The boys are spending it with their Pappy and Nate's Pappy!
Before the boys left for Memaw's, they gave Nate their Father's Day cards and homemade gifts. Ethan colored a plastic football helmet in Steeler colors for Nate two months ago and has been hiding in his room for him. Today he signed a card for Nate and got his helmet out. Before he handed it to Nate, he said, "OH NO! I sealed the card up and I need to put some money in it for him!" It was so sweet! I smiled and told him he didn't need to do that for Daddy! The helmet was enough! And....it was! Nate loved it!

After Ethan's graduation, he ran around and asked some of his Kindergarten friends to take pictures with him.
