Last year Rose went to our church's VBS and it left quite an impression on her because she talked about it all year long. So this year I signed up Rose and Ava and I helped with crafts all week. They had childcare every day for the kids of the parent helpers, so Madeline enjoyed playing everyday with her junior high helper, Juliana. I made sure Ava was in the same class as her friend, Whitney, to help with her first "school" experience without mom. She did awesome!!! She didn't cry all week, but followed directions and enjoyed every minute of it. She never did learn her teacher's name, but just called her "teacher" all week, which I thought was cute:) Rose didn't really know any of the kids in her class at first, so towards the end of the first day after she saw me in crafts, she had a little bit of a meltdown, but did great every day after that and of course had many new friends by the end of the week. And whenever Rose, Ava, or Madeline saw each other in the halls, they would stop and give each other a big hug...it was really very sweet.

Each family was given a cd to take home of all the themed songs they learned that week. We listened to them every day in the car and the girls learned them quite well, even little Madeline. Here are some videos of their recent performances for Paul and me.
"Jump, Shout, Give a High Five"
"Son Surf Beach Bash"
"Meet Up with Jesus"
Hugs!
