Lillian had such a special day today. She went to Vacation Bible School for the first time. She was so excited to go all day today. She woke up excited to go to church and Sunday School this morning and was counting down the minutes until VBS which didn't start until 6:00pm tonight. :) Lillian even told me she was going to take a nap today (which she hasn't since she was 3 years old) because she knew she was staying up late tonight and didn't want to be tired. Do you think she napped? NOPE! She was in her bed singing Hannah Montana and High School Musical songs the whole time she was in her room. Then, she screamed out, "Mommy, I am ready to come out of my bed now. I took a good nap and I am not tired anymore!" What? She never even closed her eyes! She forgets I have a camera in her room and can see her every move! What do you do?
It was perfect timing though because daddy was online and had his camera set up for the first time. We were able to see him for the first time in three months and Lillian was thrilled. She said, "What?" when she saw him for the first time. She didn't understand. I explained how it worked and she told daddy that she liked his room. Rich couldn't see us due to technical difficulties, but we are working on that thanks to the help of a great friend! :) Lillian told me, "I got to see part of Iraq today!" It was so adorable!
Then, it was time to get ready for VBS. Lillian knew what she wanted to wear and how she wanted me to style her hair- with a bow of course. How else in this household? She ate her dinner in 15 minutes including dessert!
Finally, the big moment arrived! We were ready to go to VBS. We got there a few minutes early to register and pay for her VBS t-shirt. Getting a t-shirt is always a big deal for Lillian and she can't wait to wear it. Of course, she told me this afternoon that she didn't get it until the end of the week and that would be okay. But, I took her to her class and she wanted me to stay for a few minutes. Then, she played Duck Duck Goose with her friends and she was off and playing like a big girl. Lydia and I came home for bedtime and I couldn't wait to hear all about when she came home tonight. My friend brought her home because it didn't end until 8:30pm and little sis is in bed by 7:30pm.
I waited and waited and finally she made it home to tell me all about it! She LOVED it and can't wait to go back tomorrow. She was exhausted and was in bed 12 minutes after she arrived home and it was almost 9:00pm. She told me she learned that God was always with her wherever she goes and she learned about Chatter the Chipmunk. She also learned about Flash the Bug and wore boy shoes. I am sure what all this means, but that is all I got out of her in the few minutes she was awake. I am sure I will understand more in the morning light.
So, good night to everyone! Love you all!
