Area Resource Enabler. What that means is that we do age-appropriate Bible study with the campers during a pre-arranged block of time in their daily schedule. This year we chose First Campers (1st and 2nd graders) who opted for a short half week on camp. Sunday through Wednesday sounded like a good plan to our daughter as far as introducing Mason and Lucy Ann to a camp experience that only encompassed three and a half days. It was the perfect amount of time; for them and for us. While sowing camp seeds among the youngest of participants during the day I found myself "sEwing" seeds after hours... strawberry seeds; on wool! The handwork on this project has become my latest obsession; it's coming along nicely and will be done before long! It's the perfect portable.
And one final, funny, Masonism. While sharing living space at camp with my grandchildren I found myself closely observed in the mornings when I was getting ready and putting on my "face" for the day. I use an eyelash curler which likely appers to be some sort of archaic torture device to my almost 5 y.o. grandson!
Mason: "Nana, what's that?"
me: "It's an eyelash curler, it curls my lashes before I apply mascara. I place my lashes inside and squeeze it."
Mason: "Oh. Does it hurt?"
me: "No, not at all."
The next day he reached into my makeup pouch and presented the eyelash curler to me with a smile.
"Here, Nana, don't forget to use this" Mason happily prompted.
"Thank you, Mason", I responded, "do you remember what it's for?' I asked.
"Yes," he chirped, "it's the tool for rolling your eye out"!
Life is Good!

That is such a sweet story about Mason, so glad you wrote it down :) church camps are great fun for children, ours always loved to go...as do we.
TeeHee--isn't it fun how they perceive our world?
I love your strawberry project! Very sweet.
Out of the mouths of babes.......too funny. Love the details on the berries that the beads add.
You be careful with rolling your eyes out, LOL! Your grandbabies are precious to me, as I see them through your eyes.
Please be careful when rolling your eyes out! :) I love church camp and remember fondly the one time I got to go when I was a child. blessings, marlene
