Bible School

This week was VBS or known at our house as Bible School. We kicked it off with a fun day (minus the blazing sun) with Dora, inflatables and dancing the funky chicken with the Chick Fil A cow.

 Equally as important as Dora is a picture with Backpack and Map!

Daddy and Zane trying not to burn up...planned picnic got axed as it was just too hot! 

Summer was SO EXCITED for her first day of Bible School.  She was so ready to wear her new backpack and meet her teacher.  So excited that as we walked to the car she stopped to smell a blooming flower and bam fell to her knees.  Queue the tears and blood! 

This was after VBS.  They tried to bandage it for her as we didn't have any bandaids large enough but she said "Big Sisters don't wear bandaids." 

Day 2 of Bible School.  This afternoon she told me that she "missed her teacher" and that she "no miss mommy."  Wonderful! 

 Day 3 still loving school! Meanwhile, Mommy and Zane were grocery shopping, cooking new Pinterest meals (a future post), exercising, showering...however 3 hours goes by fast!

Last day of Bible School.  By this time we had our morning routine down!  We drank a spinach & fruit smoothie every morning, had our backpack ready and were out the door by 8:35.  Can't wait for the real Pre-School to begin!  Zane on the other hand...this was a character building week for him.  He had to learn to Go With The Flow.  Poor guy's naps were constantly interupted to get in the car to drop off and pick up Big Sister.   

In addition, I transistioned Zane to his crib this week.  Up until now he has been sleeping in a cradle (in his room) but I just decided to try the switch on Thursday.  It went terrible!  He was up 3 times in the night.  Next day he didn't nap at all, crying after about 2 minutes of being laid down.  I almost broke and went back to the cradle.  But then realized I didn't want to have to endure this Mom Torture again next month so I re-energized and stuck with it a second night.  He was up 3 times again.  Next day he napped better.  Third night he slept like normal, up only once. 
Sidenote: unfortunately for mom and dad, the night that Zane slept good Summer was up at 2:30 sick with a cold and couldn't sleep-lovely.

Summer likes to pull out her own clothes in the morning.  On one of the hottest days of the Summer she thought it would be appropriate to wear a long sleeve Halloween shirt and some summer leggings.  I helped her think that one through...like Daddy had to rationalize with her last Sunday when she wanted to wear her snow boots to church.
