In September we decided, as a family, to get involved in the AWANA program at our church. N is a leader in the boys group, I'm a director of the Kindergarten - 2nd grade group and all our girls attend. It's not only a fun time as a family, it's also a mid-week check in with D & E. We all love it. If I had to say, it's my favorite night during the week. It's chaotic, but it's the first activity we've been able to do as a family. There is something about having all our girls there that makes the night seem complete.
What is so awesome is how much D & E are enjoying it. They are memorizing their verses, making new friends, inviting their friends and just having a good time. Not only that, but they also want to participate in all the additional activities with AWANA. The first of those was Bible Quizzing. The girls are quizzed on things they've learned in their books. They could be asked to recite a verse from memory, hear a verse and have to recall where it's found in the Bible or they have to know things that aren't verses, but other work in their books like questions on why God gave us the Bible.
Bible Quizzing was always the thing that intimidated me the most. I never did it. So I'm totally impressed that both D & E wanted to do it. They came early every Wednesday to practice. It paid off!
Our girls placed 4th in their heat. Out of 3 girl's teams, ours were the only ones to place. They answered most of the multiple choice correctly and that was enough to put them in this place. We are so proud of them!
