Oh how I have missed India's kiddos :)
Being bedridden has really prevented me from seeing some of the worlds most beautiful babies. Then I remembered I never posted about Second Saturday!!!! Plus I thought you guys needed a break from the hard and honest truth and needed to read something a little more light ;)
Second Saturday is just like it sounds. It's the second Saturday of every month. ICM gets all the kids who are in our Covenant Children Homes together for a really long VBS day! It is so much fun! The kids are amazing of course and so great to be around.
Tressa and I ran this first Second Saturday together. We taught the kids some new bible songs (Oh Happy Day and If You're Happy and You Know It) and we told them the story of Esther. We gave the kids tons of coloring pages and they were so excited (apparently they usually only get one but we printed them out an entire booklet haha) Then we broke for lunch. Tressa and I forgot lunch (typical) but one of the guys that works with us offered us some of his Yellow Rice, which is AMAZING!!!! So far the best Indian food I have tasted yet. When the kids returned from lunch we played games. We had them split into boys and girls and we had them play a game of hot potato that was morphed with duck duck goose. Instead of getting out the kids would just sit in the middle until the next person got out. It was so much fun and we played some classic American tunes for them of course, which they loved!!
Finally we ended the day with some presentations that the kids had prepared for us! They were all so cute and I want to post all of them but I don't think my computer will allow it. The kids were so enthusiastic and wonderful, it was so much fun to watch!!
This post isn't really about reading its more about looking at the pictures :)
Please make sure you watch this video! Its possibly the cutest thing EVER!!!!! :)
