We couldn't very well tell such an amazing story to a bunch of kids we didn't know and not tell our special kids from our street! Today...despite a lot of set backs and unexpected events...we managed to pull off Day 1. The kids had a lot of fun trying to create something with different supplies. They were quite bewildered at first and didn't know what to make.
It was fun to see the mess and the serious little faces trying to create something worthy of our praise! They loved hearing Good Job!
Thanks to my friend Jenny, we got a whole box full of fun supplies to use with the kids, including this rubber chicken! Whoever holds the chicken gets to be the one speaking! They thought that was hilarious!
After the story they decorated cute little bags with special markers! They really loved having these and creating these themselves!
They were each unique and special!
The game was a bit of a bust for the boys...apparently numbers are not their strong suit! Look at Toby...he was so dejected...okay all out crying about losing! Can anyone tell me how to cure the tears when you lose??? The game was called "Steal the Bacon." It was girls vs. boys and when you call out a number, that number runs to the middle to get the "bacon".
These three were spying over the wall wondering what all the ruckus was! I know they wanted to make their own bag...they were embarrassed that I caught them! But this is a regular event anyway...the neighbors love to peer over our wall and stare at us! Apparently we are very interesting! I hope it's the LOVE of Jesus that they see!
Our family's Poor Loser never did get over it. But he also managed to always seem to win in the end. Go figure.
