I have the greatest middle schooler in the world. Don’t get me wrong. He is still a middle-schooler, but he is the greatest! Now, everyone at church (especially those closest to his age) realize that he is the greatest! After all, how many guys do you know who have long hair and play a cheese guitar? And he’s funny and will still love on his momma and little kids!

I also have a really cool 8 year old. You’d have to be cool with a name like Will Smith, though! He figured out the cool way to wear his bandana, but he’ll still participate in all of the VBS activities. He’s also good at Momma hugs!!!

Princess KeKe-Doll is way more about the fashion, but she loves to sing and dance, too! She has made a ton of friends because of her big smile. Funny how every time I saw her, she had the team sign in her hand. Somehow, she fanagled that! Maybe just a little, bitty bit manipulative. (I don’t know where she gets that!)

Then, there’s Jia, my attachment. She had to be moved up to the older group because she was in my class, and she wouldn’t let go of my thigh. When I would hold other children in my lap, she would tell me that she didn’t like it. There was no room for her! She did great in the older group, though. She had her best friend Cayden with her. (Each time we leave Cayden, Jia says in the saddest voice, “I’m never going to get to see Cayden again….” Maybe a little more manipulation!) She also LOVES to dance!

We did have a great time at VBS, and besides the cold that the little munchkins gave me, we have nothing but great memories! Until next year…I’m done with teaching preschool!!!!! Yee-ha!! (As they say at Avalanche Ranch VBS)
