Wednesday night was our last Awanas for the year. We had a closing program and awards ceremony. For the closing program all of the kids went up front and sang songs, lots and lots of songs!
Kathleen and Caleb were behind taller kids for most of the songs. They were enjoying themselves, though.

Yes, I know I'm adorable and admired.
Kathleen was a little nervous to do the motions, but she did sing along with the songs.
Ian is getting into the motions and having fun.
Are we done yet?
Back in the action for "Pharaoh, Pharaoh" one of Caleb's favorites. He was so cute doing all of the motions.
What you don't see in the pictures:
-Isabelle who was over tired, refused to go up with the other kids, and spent the time pouting in the front row.
-I managed to make two kids cry. (It's a special talent that I have.) One was a boy I moved after he repeatedly kicked Kathleen in the shin. He proceeded to melt down, and his dad had to come up and get him. I also made Isabelle cry by not doing exactly what she wanted.
-Stephen and I were sitting on opposite sides of the room, and after the first 10-15 minutes Caleb repeatedly ran back and forth across the front.
-For some reason Ian was crying and had to sit with Stephen, but he managed to recover and join back in for the last few songs.
After the closing program we went to our respective rooms so that the parents could see what we usually do each week. (Stephen and I work with the Cubbies- the preschool age. I love that age. They were such great kids; I will miss them when we move.) Then we went back to the auditorium to hand out awards, which was mercifully brief.
I have enjoyed Awanas, but I was ready for the year to come to an end. The driving back and forth, as well as the late nights were getting to me. There will be a summer Awanas starting in June, and I think just Stephen and Ian will be going to that one.
In other non-Awana news- We may be finished with the adoption mid-June. Stephen wrote about that on our other blog.
Our field trip to see the Harlequin ducks was snowed out, but we had a nice visit in Kalispell with the Orts. I took the camera, but never took any pictures.
