What we know about Noah

Today marked the end of our Sunday School's five-week focus on Noah's ark. That means, as part of the new lesson format, today was family day. The kids had fun doing a variety of craft projects and games, all with themes relating to Noah's story. That included making rainbows with glue and construction paper circles.

Also a dice game with animal picture taped on each cube side (roll doubles and you get to put that animal pair on the ark.) AJ and his friend Jace teamed up against Jeff for that one.

When the boys finished their game, they decided they wanted to make rainbows, too. Jeff wisely got involved when he noticed how enthusiastic they were with the glue bottle.

All together, we had six activities to choose from, some of which were more suited toward older kids. That didn't stop Sydney from attempting them however. When you're three, any time you have a chance to use a scissors is a good time. Noah's dove may never be the same.

Though, perhaps Sydney just didn't understand what she was supposed to do. She happily looked at me and said, "Mommy, I cut up the dove."

"Why, yes you did." Never mind that the instruction was to cut it out, not cut it up.

Next week we move on to Daniel and the lion's den. AJ's very excited. As am I, though for a different reason. I'm happy because I won't be teaching. At least for the next five weeks.
