sunday school picnic

Our chapel went all out for the Sunday School picnic!

A bounce house!

Kids LOVED!

We also had a fun Candy Toss.

Each kid got a large baggie.

The candy was thrown and kids went wild.

Kinda like a pinata without the pinata.

The kid's loot!

Yep! My kids are dorks! But, they're my dorks.

We had a fantastic time! The food was yum but I hardly ate anything, too busy was I to eat.

But, we had fun anyway!

after chapel

Marcail really enjoys playing with her little friends at chapel.

This is Nathaniel and Abby, they are brother and sister.

Don't let Nathaniel's frown throw you, he was being silly.

I really like chatting with their mama, Nancy.

stinkin trolley turned fun experience

We stood and waited for the Friday trolley

to come along.

We waited in anticipation.

A fun ride

and a bouncy experience.

 Once it finally came into view,

I hailed it

so we could get on.

However, it didn't stop.

It kept going.

Without us, to our hoped destination.

So, we turned around and went

to pile into our car.

Disgruntled and disappointed

that we had missed

our chance

at a trolley ride.
That stinkin trolley didn't even look our way!

I drove our vehicle to the Dollar Tree.

I allowed each of the

kids to pick out a toy

specifically for their chapel bags.

There are two aisles of ultra cheap toys

to choose from.

It took us probably

an hour to go through the whole store.

We {heart} Dollar Tree.

Naomi bought a tiny stuffed elephant.

Marcail chose two little mermaids.

Henry decided upon a fake Transformer.

The End.

happy!

I snapped this with my phone on Sunday.

Marcail was eager to get on stage before Sunday School to recite her memory verse.

Too bad my poor girl has stage fright.

She couldn't get the words out once she was up there, even with me right beside her.

their first chapel christmas program

Sunday night was the Christmas program at the church we go to. My kids were angels for the program. Their Sunday School class sang Away in the Manger. We had practiced it all week together using the hand motions. They had it down! I wasn't sure how they would do the night of since they weren't thrilled with putting on costumes. Marcail was happy to comply, it was really up her alley! Henry decided to put his angel costume after Marcail did and Naomi didn't want anything to do with a white robe. Thankfully, James talked her into putting on the wings and halo.

I knew it was asking a lot of 2 and 3 year olds to actually sing and do the hand motions to a song so I wasn't surprised when none of mine did anything but stand on the stage when their time came. I'm just so glad they didn't have meltdowns once they got up there.
