Vacation Bible School....take 2

All year long I have been dreading vacation bible school? why? how can three simple words make a grown woman shake in her flip flops easily it's the memory of last years VBS I think Sophia, Helen, Olivia, Charlie and Maddie went only one or two days...and then Sophia came home and said that the girls weren't allowed to come back because they wouldn't stop crying UGH...now granted there is a HUGE difference between now and then first off VBS started right after we moved here so the girls didn't know anyone now they know everyone ok maybe not EVERYONE but we definitely know alot of people...
So this year we are all going Katie, Julie, Sophia and I are volunteers :D while Helen, Olivia, Charlie and Maddie are celebrating PandaMania ...It got off to a crazy start but once things got started it was exciting and fun not sure what the exact number of kids attending but I'd say over 100 and we have a lot of volunteers..I was really impressed with the number of teenagers who showed up to help out with the younger kids...it's one of the many things I first commented on when we arrived here at Storck Barracks was the number of teenagers who Charlie and Maddie were always playing with ...lol
Well if you have the opportunity I highly suggest bringing your kids over to VBS my girls just love it I am sure your kids will too....I am already looking forward to 2012 VBS no more dreading it here...

Jenni! I love this! I was pretty nervous that there wouldn't be enough volunteers but 89 adults and teens showed up to help out! What a blessing?! Can't wait for day two to start! :)

I have a friend who is a veteran. She was telling me about a new military website she heard about. The name is mymilitarypages.com. She told me that it lists local businesses that offer discounts to the military. I decided to go and look at it myself and found a great site. Not only are there discounts, but there is military related news, jokes and benefit information. In this economy, who couldn't stand to save a little money?
