No Cavities...and a Whole Lotta' Cooking Up God's Recipe

Isaiah had his first "official' dentist appointment today and did great thanks to his big sister Ava.  She went first and he liked watching her go through all the little things they do.  Ava LOVES the dentist and has never had an issues there.  When Isaiah's turn was up he wanted me to lay with him in the chair.  He did great and let them scrape his teeth, polish them, floss them, and take pictures of them.

Ava was all smiles!

Mommy with her brave little boy!

They especially loved the little goodie bag they got...it had toothpaste, a toothbrush, floss, and they got to choose a toy.  After the appointment we went to Ames to have lunch with Aunt Jody at Subway.  I have a cute picture of Isaiah typing at Jody's desk.  I'll have to post that later.  He thought he was pretty cool "working."

 This week our church is hosting Bible School with this really cute theme "Cooking Up God's Recipe."  The kids go with me for a few hours and they rotate through different activities.  All age levels start together first for songs and a message.  Then the preschool age kids rotate to story time, then games/snack, song/dance practice, and finally crafts.  The night ends with everyone getting back together again for songs and prayer.

Story time!

Relay race time...the kids took a pair of tongs, picked up empty water bottles, and had to put them into a pot of the opposing team.

More singing and dancing

Craft time!  Each child has a recipe box where they collect recipes throughout the week.  Each "recipe card" tells God's message for the day.  Today's message was about giving your time to help someone else.

Ava was looking forward to craft time all night!  Bible School lasts for the rest of the week...we'll be headed back tomorrow for more games, songs, crafts, and stories to learn more about God and Jesus.  Our church always has such a neat program and it's always creatively done. 

More pics later!

The Happy's are on the next post I did today.
