Reflections of the HEART...: God is Love, God is the Creator, God is Holy.....

That was the theme of our Vacation Bible School this year.

Case really seemed to enjoy VBS this year. I noticed how much more confidence he showed this year versus last year. His independence was more evident this year as well, he stood in line with his classmates as they marched in, he wasn't hesitant like he was last year about going off to class with his teacher. And as long as Trace and I were not watching he would sing in Music class and do the motions. Case really seemed to enjoy crafts this year and participated more, he painted all of his crafts GREEN...wonder why???? Oh I am sure it has something to do with GREEN Tractors....HaHa

Trace was in charge of capturing pictures for VBS as I helped with Crafts. When we took our break for dinner the first night the ladies in the kitchen had a story to share with us about Case. Remember Case is picky about what he eats.... The ladies served hamburgers, chips, and cookies the first night. Well Case didn't mind telling them that he only likes hamburgers from Sonic!!! LOL He did try a bite of his hamburger but he said it didn't taste like Sonic hamburgers!! The ladies got such a kick out of him...he is Mr. Personality...and those dimples help him out of alot tight spots I am sure!!! :)

On last night of VBS we had parents night and the kids performed their songs and motions they had learned during the week along with the bible verses they memorized. They also had been learning each night about a Mission project in Bolivia and collecting an offering for the project...so they were to have a final offering that night. We gave Case $5 for him to put in the offering plate, we thought they would take up the offering before the kids performed.....NOT....so Case carried his $5 up there with him. I asked Trace to go up there and get the money...but he said "we will have to ride this one out" and that we did!!! Well, the kids performed 3 songs...the whole time Case played with that five dollar bill....we smiled at him, made motions for him to put it in his pocket, and tried to tell him to stop waving it around...nothing worked...finally I leaned over and asked Trace was he "enjoying the ride???" Everyone was chuckling about it before it was over, and close to the end I finally had to tell Trace to quit looking at Case because Case's lip was beginning to quiver, he thought that he was in TROUBLE!! It was too cute and those are the kind of memories that we are going to remember the most!!! We had friends from church come up to us after it was over and tell us that they thought they were going to have to get up and leave because they couldn't control themselves!! Gotta love that BOY!!! :)
