AWANA Kickoff (& THE Bus)

Ok, as some of you know the AWANA kick off was this past Wednesday and they celebrated by having a drive in movie for the kids and everyone was encouraged to build a car to bring to the drive in. Joan and I teamed up since Harrison and Kylie are going to both going to Cubbies this year. We hemmed and hawed over what to build. We had the boxes from Joans bar stools but we didn't really feel like making 4 cars so that left the refrigerator box I found in the garbage. It was a bit too big to be a car and somehow it ended up being a bus. We wanted to paint the inside so it would blend better but considering that we were up till 2am the night before we needed the bus painting it that wasn't going to happen!






All the kids (well, almost all) checking out the bus.






Who knew it was going to be so hard to get a good picture of all the kids!


Reygann and Harrison (and Billy too) watching the movie inside the bus. Funny thing is we thought of all the kids there is no way Harrison was going to sit still inside the bus to watch the movie, man were we wrong!!



Deric and Brody


Dancing to the silly songs...

This is the car that won, great job but too bad it wasn't ours!

More dancing and being silly


Brody is dancing too!

Our bus might not have won the prize, but we had the popularity vote nailed!

Brody finally sat still for a few minutes while playing with this cup!

I think he liked the noise it made.

Playing with Brody

He likes the bus!


(Does anyone have any ideas what to do with it now?!? Deric said throw it out! I don't think so! Maybe we can rent it out...)

1. I'm actually surprised you didn't win. The winning car was nice, but yours is awesome! And i don't think I'm being bias saying that either.

2. Anyone else get a kick out of the "Please do not sit on furniture" sign?
