VBS reflections

VBS is over. The Boomerang Express has returned to the station. The preschoolers sang their songs, and expressed their personalities doing so. Princess D decided she had to be the star of the show, so she centered herself on the stage in front of a mic. Si Guy was dancing away. Miss E. in my class first cried, then hid, then decided to join my daughter in the attention hog spot. It was cute. It was funny. It was a tad embarrassing, but all the other adults loved it. My favorite preschool song was "God loves us and he sent his only son Jesus."

Then it was on with the show! Our oldest had a part in the play, and our next to oldest was singing and dancing his heart out in between scenes. I credit Chip with not destroying the set, and sort of paying attention. The A-B-C's were covered, (Admit your a sinner, Believe Jesus came for us, Confess and turn away from your sin) and there were great numbers like "On the Boomerang Express, it all comes back to Jesus" and "Get on your serve."

My in-laws were there and we celebrated after on the playground.

Snacks we prepared for the week varied from coral reef mix to kangaroo kibble. Kangaroo kibble was a HUGE hit! I'm sure there will be some bouncing around our house for the rest of the summer.

Here's the recipe

1 c Enjoy Life chocolate chips
1/2 c Sunbutter
3 T spectrum shortening
8-9 c Rice chex cereal
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
1t powdered vanilla

Melt chips, sunbutter, and shortening in microwave at 50%, stirring at 30 second intervals.
In small bowl combine vanilla and powdered sugar. Set aside.
Pour melted mixture over cereal and toss to coat.
Sprinkle w/ sugar mixture and toss to coat. I find it works best in about 3 additions.
Cool and enjoy!

Wednesday night a new adventure begins, in ROME!....The Lord's work is never done. Have a wonderful summer all.
