Every week we have a group of moms (and our kids) that get together and do something different around Tallahassee. Shout out to Jen Simmons for organizing it! This week we went to Zoinks, which is a sort of heaven on earth full of bounce houses and arcade games. But it's clean and wears the kids out. Tommy is very cautious in general, so when his friends Caleb, Dominic, and Nicholas were climbing to the top and then belly flopping into the bounce house, he was clapping and saying "Yay Dominic!" or yay to whoever was jumping.
Tonight, if it ever stops raining, he'll go with Aunt Sally and Uncle Bennett to the Fall Festival at Bradfordville Baptist Church. We are totally into the whole Halloween thing, and of course we'll take him trick or treating and all, but this is just a fun thing for him to do. I always wondered if trick or treating and doing the Santa and Easter Bunny thing would disqualify me from being a real legit patsor's wife. Guess not.
I'm really looking forward to tonight. It's one of my favorite parts of being a pastor's wife, actually. Dean and I get to meet some of the parents of a few college students at The Well. They'll be in town for Parents' Weekend, and they want to have dinner with us. Of course I love going out to dinner, but more than that, it'll be great to meet the families of some of our students. I love to sit back and watch kids' lives change. Then the kids get on board with what we're doing, take ownership, and talk to their families back home about it. It just really excites me. For whatever reason, God has allowed us to take part in this process and it's such a privilege. So we'll be off to Food Glorious Food!
