VBS -- Day 3

We are on the third day of VBS and our theme for the day was the forgiven debts. The kids all had an index card with their name and they colored it in red to signify the blood of Jesus washing away their sins. Then they glued their name to the cross. The craft for the day was a cross necklace and they did really well with the beading of the necklaces. The snack was brownies with red frosting for Jesus blood and we decorated them with white chocolate chips to show that we were made as white as snow through Jesus blood. The small group game was bucket bonanza with sand pails and ping pong balls. The kids were given a prize no matter how many balls they got in the buckets. The large group game was water balloons. It was really funny. The kids carried them carefully until we let them have a huge water balloon fight and they threw them at everyone including us and the nannies ( Linda managed to stay dry since she had the camera:) We had fun playing witht he kids before we returned to the infant house. In the afternoon we played with the infants that we are all assigned. We took them for walks and played on the trampoline. This is the only time that they really get any individual attention. We were thankful that the heat was not quite as bad today, but we do have some folks that came down with "Haitian Happiness" and that is not very pleasant. Linda is feeling better and so is Tori, but Kim V. and Emily K. are feeling like 'shita' (this is the Haitian word for sit - but in this case it means something a little different). All in all it was a great day!!

Hopefully pictures will be posted tonight!
