Boy, what a week!!!!  VBS Week-
*Larkin get's sick and has a 102 degree fever in the middle of VBS.  I thought VBS would be hard; but I didn't think it would be so very hard.  I helped another woman who was signed up to do the crafts last year.  I did prep work at home; helped set up and take down each night and it went well.  This year I helped another woman on Mon. and Tues. and then I took over as she had to go on vacation.  I didn't get any help on Thurs. or Fri. and it really would have been appreciated.

I did the prep work for the new set of experiments each day after we got our lessons done--the bare minimum--and then headed over to the church to begin setting up our posters and organizing our brains and supplies for the evenings events.  I will do a post just on VBS next; so I won't go into all the detail here now.  This post is on the bit of lessons we accomplished this week; in between the fever, the continueing illness, and VBS.  Although Dd didn't go to VBS on Wed. b/c she had a high fever and I didn't want her to share her bug with anyone.
