Summer Fun

This week Ben and Mollie Grace went to VBS at Desoto Hills Baptist Church. It should be designated the official VBS of CC. Nearly all their homeschool friends were there.

Since Annie and Emmeline were too young to go to VBS (you had to have completed Kindergarten), Emmeline came home with us at drop off and spent the morning. They built a bird's nest and were really sure that a bird would make a home in it.

Ben played 5 v 5 soccer Monday and Tuesday nights. Monday night he was a substitute for the U13 team because some players were out of town. He is the captain of the U12 team that played Tuesday night. They lost 6-4. At one point they were up, but made some mistakes that eventually cost them the game. The summer league is developmental and part of it is about having the players make decisions rather than a coach. As captain, Ben decides who plays what position and when and is responsible for substituting players during the game.

Tuesday Annie and I went with friends to the $2 summer movie at the Malco.

Silas goes to Desoto Hills and came home with us from VBS Tuesday and spent the afternoon.

Mollie Grace (who is constantly crafting something) made this rag doll herself. She sewed on the hair and face and made clothes for it.

Thursday Mollie Grace go to invite a friend home for VBS. She and Sarah Grace made chocolate pudding. Ben spent most of the evening swimming with the Simmons boys (more CC friends), who live down the road from us. Thursday was the only evening that he did not play soccer. He had games Monday and Tuesday and practice Wednesday and Friday.
