Summer Fun

For his birthday Cole asked for a water blaster. He was so excited to get one. Dollar Tree rocks.
One early evening, two water blasters, one bucket of water, and two excited kids makes for a nice quiet dinner preparation for mom.

 Tessa and Cole both participated in Vacation Bible School at the end of July at the same local Episcopalian church that Tessa did VBS at last year. VBS was actually one of the incentives for Cole to potty train back in May, and he had it down super quickly, excited to know that he qualified to go with Tessa this year. (He did not like getting left behind last year.) The staff, along with the teen volunteers, are so genuinely sweet over there. Although we are happy with our own church, it's really nice to have that sense of community, trust, and support with another nearby church. They do such a wonderful job with their VBS ministry. Tessa came home talking about trusting God and talking about Bible stories, and Cole, though he started to struggle with going toward the end of the week, came home happy every day telling me about the games and crafts ...and snacks.
Here they are posing with Paigey Lou in their VBS shirts after the first day:
