Life with the Poelstras...: The Past Week...

This past week was very eventful in one sense, and not so eventful in the other! For the first time ever, both kids were able to attend Vacation Bible School together!! And yes, that means I had five days in which they were both gone for three hours in the morning! I must admit, it was kind of nice! And they both had a great time, but were pretty worn out in the afternoons, so we didn't do as many fun things this week! But here are some snapshots from our week!

This was last Sunday as we were getting ready to head out the door for church. I just thought he looked so handsome and so grown up!

While we didn't do too much this past week, we did manage to go to the beach grill again with our good friends! Here Shane is playing, with Faith in the background.

At the end of the last day of VBS, the kids did a little program showing what they learned throughout the week. And the shocking thing is that Faith, our little singer and performer, did not want to participate!! So no pictures of her, but Shane did well!

The pictures are never good from these things, but you can get the idea! Oh, and the red mark on his head...he woke up with it that morning! It looks like a rug burn or something! We asked what happened, and he just said he bumped it! I think he may have been practicing doing somersaults while he was supposed to be going to bed as that is his new thing - somersaults!

Friday afternoon we did go to the park and for a short hike in the hills. The kids were trying to look for wildlife - specifically Bobcats or Mountain Lions!! They got that idea from the signs at the start of the trail showing pictures of them and describing what to do if you meet up with one! Thankfully, we did not see any!

Faith playing her computer games today. This was taking with my phone, which has a cool app to take pictures with "film" and "lenses" that make them look old! I have been playing around with it!
