Today we started the Breakfast Club up again. Pop tarts, cheese and ham croissants and chocolate soup! Mmmmmmm!
Yesterday, we learned about the need to show love to one another and the challenge was to buy a gift. So we put all the kids names into a hat and each drew one out.
Today, we went to the Reject Shop so the kids could find an economical gift for a sibling. They had lots of fun searching out something for about $5 that they thought their recipient might like. One or two were desperate to buy something for themselves too, which was not the point of the exercise at all.
Then we went to South Beach to run off some pent up energy. It was windy and there were loads of dogs walking that stretch of beach too, so the kids had a blast!
I only alloted 30 mins each day for a walk, but I think we did the whole week's worth today! It was fun though.
After lunch, we wrapped the gifts and the kids excitedly handed them out to each other. I found it very interesting that they shared some of their gifts with each other! I was so pleased!
Dart and Colt went to Youth Group for the first time of the year and loved it.
It has been a difficult week, and I have learned some lessons about lesson preparation ahead of time to lessen the impact of unforeseen issues, like no power. :)
