Wednesday Update!

Today was the best day yet at VBS! The Prince did SUCH a great job of sharing me and not having me carry him around all day! Yippee! I thank him and my back thanks him! He is almost 40 pounds now and it was very hard to carry him around the first two days. Today was Indian Day at VBS and we learned that "God is Strong!" I made a little Indian Princess head dress for Princess and she wore it all day. The Prince and the Knight were not interested in wearing one and I didn't make them. I did the Bible story again for all of the 50 or so 4 year olds and it went really well. The Prince was actually my assistant. I figured that he would throw a hissy fit if I went up on stage without him. It just so happened that we were talking about Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. I brought some blocks and had Will make a wall of rocks while I read. Then, when I gave him the signal, he knocked down the blocks! Then as I went on to ask questions at the end, he picked up the blocks without being asked! What a BIG boy! He went to SUPERSTAR today and we went to McDonald's after VBS. Just to set the tone, I never take the kids to McDonald's unless we are traveling to Iowa. It is a very crazy place to get to and the food is not good for you. The kids did choose chicken nuggest with apples instead of fries though! On the way home from VBS, Will asked if we could eat in a restaurant. Since he was SO good for me today, we went. Tomorrow is the Teacher's Luncheon to thank the teachers for teaching. They have childcare for this, so that is good. I need to pack lunches for everyone tomorrow. I pack a lunch for the Knight everyday because the little ones cannot last until 1:00 without eating lunch. We head for home about 12:45 every day. The Knight has had a rough start to each day. He cries very hard when I drop him off. I am assured that he recovers quickly though. On Monday I actually saw him playing on the playground. He didn't see me though. He was happy as a lark.

I have a Girl's Night Out tonight. I am looking forward to it - we used to play Bunco once a month and I actually liked those better. We are trying out a new restaurant - I hope it is good!
