The Five Days of VBS

This chronicles the five days of taking my three children to Vacation Bible School. Set to "The Twelve Days of Christmas"...beginning at, say, Day 8.

The first day of VBS was such a joy to me...
Got new bill$ to donate,
15 minutes early,
Three ironed outfits,
FIIIIIVE DAYS OF FUUUUUN.......
Four home-cooked breakfasts
Three smiling faces,
Too glad to get there,
And a minivan full of glee.

The second day of VBS was such a joy to me...
Some cash and some quarters,
10 minutes early,
Fluffed clothes in the dryer,
FOOOOUR DAYS OF FUUUUUN.......
Scrambled eggs and hot toast,
Three smiling faces,
O, so glad to get there,
And a minivan full of glee.

The third day of VBS was such a joy to me...
Nickels, dimes, and quarters,
3 minutes early,
Well at least they match well,
THREEEEE DAYS OF FUUUUN......
Everyone had Pop Tarts,
Three sleepy faces,
"Geez, when will we get there?"
And I nearly drove into a tree.

The fourth day of VBS was such a joy to me...
Three nickels and a penny,
1 minute early,
"Does everyone have shoes on?"
TWOOOOO DAYS OF FUUUUUN.....
Powdered sugar doughnuts,
Three cranky faces,
"Do we REALLY have to go there?"
Crafts are piling up to our knees.

The fifth day of VBS was such a joy to me...
Pennies and a token,
Driving in on two wheels,
"Just wear your pajamas!"
LAAAAAST DAY OF FUUUUUN.......
Juice box and a vitamin,
Three resentful faces,
"Next year we're NOT coming!"
"How come the minivan smells like pee?"
