Day 187 - mommy don't leave

We started Vacation Bible School at church today. The morning started off well and we made it to church on time. We took the babies to their preschool room, the same room they are in every Sunday, and they completely lost it. There was NO WAY I was leaving. It was heartbreaking and difficult. I think it was too overwhelming since there were many more kids than usual. The problem I had was that I needed to be in the sanctuary with the bigger kids since I was a crew leader. That meant that I had a group of kids assigned to me for the entire week. I was really excited about doing this, especially since Calista was in my group. When it seemed pretty clear that the crying (screaming really) wouldn't stop I decided to take them with me. That didn't stop the crying either. The damage had been done. I quickly realized that I couldn't lead a group with two little ones hanging on me and fighting for my lap. Luckily, my friend Keisha, stepped in and took over so I could return to the preschool room with the twins. I thought maybe I could get them settled and then leave but it never worked. They were attached to me all day long. I was lucky to even get this picture.
