VBS Fun and More

Aylin: "Mommy, lets be crazy drivers!"
Hilton: laughs hysterically... :)
We kicked this week off with our VBS at the Southaven church of Christ.  Our theme this year was Great Feasts of the Bible.  It was Hilton's 1st VBS because this time last year I had not yet taken him to services.  He did not like it! LOL He whined and cried every night.  I think he might not have felt well because he normally loves Bible class and he loves his teachers.  But then he cried the first 5 minutes or so Sunday morning too and then last night at Nesbit's VBS he cried for the 10-15 minutes, so maybe we are going through that separation stage?  Aylin, on the other hand, loved every minute of VBS like she always does :) Here are a few shots from the week:
 
 
 
Aylin's Nana, Bobby's mom, wanted to know about VBS from Aylin's words so this is what we came up with the idea to take her picture with her craft and write down what she said class was about:
We also had another swim day with the Wilkes' family :)
We celebrated Krispy Kreme's birthday with our doughnut friends (Risters)
We dressed liked cows and went to Chik-fil-a for free food!
Hilton started pulling up on almost everything...YAY!  He did this on the day Aylin and I had some weird 24 hr virus.  We both had fevers and I literally felt like I had the flu, my whole body just ached.  It lasted for about 24 hrs and then was gone.

(right) Aylin did great on her school work this week.  Throughout the summer we have been reviewing over some of the things we learned this past year.  We bought a couple of fun workbooks and every other day she chooses one and does a couple of pages out of it.  They are geared towards working on cutting, pasting, and coloring.  She really struggles with scissors and the kid can't stand to color - lol.  I found a book that does color by letter pictures and she seems to like it, so maybe we can get past this "no coloring" phase.
We also had a CHAOS event and a MASH event this past week; it was a super busy but awesome week!
