Miles and Dad Chillin' Out

I just couldn't resist posting this picture. =)

The Purple Pinata Kitty

VBS 2008,Crooked Creek Baptist

Paper mache is fun. It's super fun. Especially when your purple pinata cat that you and your team have worked hard on all during VBS wins the competition!

Our purple paper mache feline did win the contest, the contest that all of the teens of Crooked Creek Baptist made their own pinatas for. But our team took home the prizes......giant Hershey's Chocolate bars.

The pinatas then went to birthday parties for families who couldn't afford party decorations. I would like to say that I was thrilled that our team had won. And I was--for the moment! But wouldn't you be kind of disappointed if your prized creation was going to be destroyed in a matter of weeks by some candy-loving kid?

Anyway, I had a great time and so did Cammie, Bronwen, and Silas. Lane and James didn't get to come because they were helping Dad build cabins at Grace Farms for their camp they were having in less than two weeks. Freddie Coile is the owner and evangelist and he spoke at our church recently. The boys decided to help him out as he was in desperate need of some help to get the cabins ready in time!

Last but not Least....

Last but certainly not least.....Miles turned 1 May 27th. We didn't have a very big celebration on his birthday as he wasn't feeling himself and was therefore crabby most of the day. You can understand why there are no pictures in this post. But we made him an angel food cake, anyway, and he cleaned his plate.

Happy Birthday, Miles! Crabby or happy, we still love you!
