T - 30

I can't believe that today is August 1st. Most of summer has already flown by so quickly. We had our 1st night of VBS yesterday. We are in charge of the welcome, Bible story skits, and the archaeological digs for treasure (an object to help the kids remember the them for the day). Yesterday's theme was that God Knows You and we acted out the story of David's annointing as King by Samuel. I played the part of Jesse (David's dad) and really enjoyed pretending to be an old man. We had a really good time with the kids and are really looking forward to being parents. Here is a funny exchange that happened during the play:
Andy (Samuel): "Jesse, Do you have any other sons?"
Sarah (Jesse): "Yes. (walking over to a kid in the crowd named Isaac) Here is my son Abinadab.
Oscar (4 yr. old): "NO! His name is Isaac! His name is Isaac!"
Sarah: "Ok. Abinadab, come over here and let Samuel take a look at you.
Isaac (7 yr. old): "NO!"
Well, I then had to keep walking around the crowd asking kids to participate. I finally got lucky on the 4th try when I asked the Children's Director's oldest son (3rd or 4th grader) to help me out. He was willing and we got to finish the skit. Kids are so weird. As Andy said this morning, at least 80% of Oscar's life is spent "playing pretend", but of course he couldn't go along with our pretending! It went well and was really fun though. We were both already tired from our busy days, so we were starved when we got home, but it was good. Tonight we have an appt. with Ann and then we're going out to dinner with our Texas friends, John and Lesley at Speak Easy's (BBQ place here in town. Really good.). I'll try to post some pictures of the dance camp and dinner later. Here's to a pleasant, fun, and enjoyable day. Only 30 days left! (Supposedly!!)
