Weekend

Well we made it through VBS and had a wonderful weekend. It was nice to have a relaxful Friday afternoon after the week long VBS. The kids and I took naps. That afternoon we picked up Chickfila b/c I was just too tired to even think about cooking. We let Colby stay up late and watch a movie as a reward to finishing up VBS week plus he had a long nap so he wouldn't have been going to bed early anyway!
Saturday the kids and I enjoyed sleeping in! It felt so good not to wake up early and rush out the door! We had a leisure morning around the house then got ready and went to my parent's house to swim. We sure enjoyed the swimming and time hanging out with them! I always think we are going to swim so much during the summer but we end up so busy that we really only get to go like once a week! The kids are definitely warming up to the pool and I am anxious to see what they learn after swim lessons in a couple of weeks! That afternoon we came home and just enjoyed time around the house.
Sunday was church. Thankfully Austin was off and could go with us. It was nice b/c he and I were also able to go into church together. I love serving in the children's ministry but some weeks I need the renewal of actually going into church. It was a great worship service. It was focused on VBS and summer missions! 2 great things obviously! VBS saw 300 kids come through the church that week. Our church is also sending a group to Romania for 10 days this summer. I hope to one day do something like that! I think in a couple years when Lindsay is older Austin and I may try something like that! Also there was a baptisim so it was a great Sunday! This was also Promotion Sunday for the children. This means Colby will no longer be in my class and I will have a new group of kiddos to work with and teach next Sunday. He was promoted up to Jump Start into the kindergarten room. He was shy about it at first but I think he ended up having a great time! He is learning so much there and can always tell us his Bible story from the week! I am so glad he has such great children's things to attend! Lindsay did not promote this year. Since she is already in the toddler room she will stay there until next year. I am so glad they both enjoy church!
We rested that afternoon then went back to our Lifegroup that night. My parents kept Lindsay that evening. Colby loves going and playing with his friend Christiano. We started our new summer session and it looks like its going to be a great one!
It was a wonderful weekend and a nice change of pace to somewhat slow down! Now we are preparing for a different routine this coming week but a slower week which will be nice!
