Sticky Situation

Today I had double duty with children's church in both services and then I observed a kindergarten class during sunday school. The first Children's Church went well, we had three kids. 2 boys and a girl. We talked about the burning bush. And the color sheet to me instead of a burning bush looked to me like cotton candy. And when asked what it looked like I blurted out my response and after that the two boys wanted cotton candy and everything to them was cotton candy. It was so funny!
The second Children's Church came around. We had one little boy who is 3 in the class. I sat down and talked to some of the other kids. We had 10 kids total I think. It was a handful! The three year old, I had him in his seat with the other kids during story time but then he wanted to get up and move from his seat. After story time, he was running around the room and I saw him going around the tables. I knew he was heading to the door so I quickly maneuvered my way around the kids and got to the front of the door the door before he could make his exit. I grabbed him and swooped him up. He said, "Whoa!" Oh yeah! I was so good, he was a bit shocked that I stopped him from making it out the door. Also I was running around in heels which to me made it even more impressing. I had to pick him up a couple of more times to keep him from playing with things he shouldn't be messing with. After I put him under someone else watch I was able to visit with some of the other kids. One boy, I don't know what it was but he just loved glue and markers. I caught him gluing a marker. Yeah! Weird! I took the marker away from him and he was rubbing the glue all over his hands. I said, "Ok, I think it's time you go to the bathroom and wash your hands." So I went with him to the bathroom making sure he washed every bit off. I know sad day when we have to clean-up. Anyway once he was clean I walked him back to the classroom. Only to get back and find another boy whom I had to escort to the bathroom for clean-up duty. Boys! By the time I was done with clean-up duty it was just about time for the kids to go home. It was good and kids definitely keep you on your feet. That 3 year old had me and a helper chasing him around the room. Goodness! But I wouldn't change the chaos for anything. :) I miss hanging out with kids!
