To teach or not to teach...





Ahhh the joys of 3's! My dh and I have been teaching the two's and three's at our church for over ten years. The first years when our children were that age, we bounced from the two year old's to the three year old's and back again. Now that my youngest is older, we've been sticking with the three's. They are a fun bunch of kids. We usually have about ten kids each service. Last week we had 25 kids, but the 4&5 year old teacher wasn't able to make it, so we piled them in with us. It was crazy, but fun.

As our kids are getting older, Mike and I have been wanting to work with the jr. high kids. We were all set to stop teaching the three's and go to the jr. high. However, our four kids have been helpers in the three year old class since they were three years old. They love it! They begged us to not stop teaching the three year olds. How could we say no? So, we are all teaching the three year olds first service, then Mike and I are in with the jr. high second service. We go to church for ourselves on Saturday night. Whew! Pretty busy, but lots of fun!

The pictures of the kids with the fish is of course for "Jonah and the Whale." They were pretending to be swallowed up!
