7 Quick Takes Friday

June 25, 2010 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Family Fun, Minnesota Me, Special Events, The Faith 8 Comments

[Vol. XVIII for Me]

The “Help! I’m-Trapped-in-the-CVBS-Nursery!” Edition

~ Take 1 ~

CVBS I

Having taken last summer off to—oh, I don’t know, have a baby or something—I am back in the Bible School daycare this year as a volunteer.

~ Take 2 ~

My son is happy with this choice, as it affords him ample opportunities to flirt with the teenage helpers.

CVBS VII
~ Take 3 ~

I do my share of flirting too, especially with the owner of these big brown eyes.

CVBS V
~ Take 4 ~

This young man will have none of that.

CVBS III
~ Take 5 ~

We are nothing but helpful in the CVBS nursery. Is your infant hungry? We can take care of that!

CVBS IV

Alright, I’m kidding. That’s her son.

~ Take 6 ~

Good friends and strong coffee see us through. This past week has been busy in ways both beautiful and overwhelming…

CVBS II

~ Take 7 ~

…and some days I’m so tired I think I’m seeing double.

CVBS VI

That’s okay, though! They promised me I can sleep next week.

Visit Jen @ Conversion Diary to see all the Quick Takes from today, and have a wonderfully restful weekend.

    Thank you. That made me laugh (especially the breastfeeding caption). I needed that!

    This post gives me hope… hope that I might survive my week in the nursery during July. I have volunteered for our CVBS for many years doing all sorts of things (snacks are my favorite). I have always said I was willing to work anywhere, just not the nursery. It's a zoo in there 🙂 This year, though, I will have (gasp)three in the nursery and I just don't think I can in good conscience leave them there with those unsuspecting volunteers.

    I, too, hope the strong coffee and good company get me through a long week. Thanks for the inspiring post!

    What a wonderful week!

    I liked the "I think I'm seeing double" comment the best!

    Thank you (especially for making me snort coffee through my nose and) for a fabulous week. You are so creative and fun to be with. I'm so thankful for the friendships made, and the little blessings I met. The teen-aged girls were the best, weren't they?

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
