Well, we made it back from Cordele. Tommy had lots of fun seeing Thomas, but he was also completely overwhelmed. It was set up like a state fair complete with funnel cakes and all sorts of attractions in tents everywhere you looks. And more kids under 5 than you can imagine. Of course we had to buy a huge mylar balloon in the shape of Thomas (which almost got away) for $8 and he got some sort of Thomas push toy. He'll probably play with it twice. I don't know what it is, but whenever parents take their kids somewhere remotely exciting, they turn into these souvenir nuts, fully knowing it will probably be in the back of the closet next week.
Just notice the top picture. That's Tommy getting his first tattoo. And he's really pumped about it too. It'll wash off tomorrow probably, but definitely fun.
Tomorrow is Sunday again. As Dean says, Sunday always comes. In our house the tradition is for Dean to plant himself on the couch for some much needed relaxation and football watching before the craziness that is Sunday. It'll be an interesting one for me too. I'm working in the nursery (Yay to all the Well Kids volunteers!) and I'm sneaking out halfway through for an interview on the Couch. A little nerve wracking for me since I'm not really a huge fan of talking in front of lots of people. Then I'll head straight to the keyboard to play O Tannenbaum for the offering. Yes, you read that right. It's a Christmas song. In October. But it's for a very important announcement that will be made regarding our Christmas service this year, so stay tuned!
