Football > Futbol

so today was my first day working VBS with the kids. we started out singing songs, and the kids got really into the hand motions. except one boy, Roma, didn't know what to do and kept holding my hand the whole time. after music we did crafts, the kids were painting little treasure boxes. i was trying to help a little girl, Nastya, pick colors, but it didnt seem like she understood english. then all of a sudden she points at her picture and says "redblueyellowpurplegreenred!!!!" then we bonded over the international language of crayon drawings.

after lunch we played group games with the kids. Nastya descided that she wanted to climb a tree and kept almost falling, so we just put her on my shoulders, then we couldnt get her to come down :) we played dodgeball and across the ocean.

after that i helped frame the second half of the sidewalk. the first half is poured and drying, the second will be poured in the morning.

after we all ate dinner, the kids started playing soccer in the yard. i went inside and brought out the brand new football we had had shipped over and started throwing it around. after a few minutes, the kids were throwing the football with me and the soccer ball was sitting in the dust, where it belongs :)
