I LOVED the idea of a special dinner & theme when I saw it on THIS BLOG and really thought it was such a grand way to kick off the school year. So, we had ourselves a fun evening of a nice dinner, making crowns, announcing this years theme, a prayer of dedication and special gifts for everyone. It was loads of fun and got everyone excited for the new beginnings.
Our theme this year is: "BE PREPARED."
I was really struggling with coming up with a theme. I almost stole Nie's theme, but thought that a bit unorthodox! So, the Sunday before we were starting school, John's dad preached a message at church on Rehoboam and how he prepared not his heart for God. It was just what I needed! The whole story of King Rehoboam was such a great picture to me as to how I am each and every day cultivating the hearts and lives of my children. Even though this was a negative example, I thought we could take the positive spin for our theme. Preparing our hearts before God so that we are ready to be used of Him.
Jack is showing off his new Playmobil knights that he will add to his quiet play time container.
Caiden's first pieces to his own Playmobil collection. The 1-2-3 toys are perfect and safe for little hands (and tasty curiosities!).
Caiden adorned his crown for about 20 seconds. No hats for this boy!
Ready or not . . . here we come!!!
