Vacation Bible School

This week the kids went to Vacation Bible School at our church. Ali was very excited to go to "school". On the first day she told me that she was a big girl now and that she is big enough to go to school. She told me she wouldn't cry or bite anybody. Ali does not bite often but she will occassionally bite Sofia. The last time she bit Sofia I told her that she would not have any friends at school if she bit them. Apparently she must have taken my words to heart since she recalled them upon her first trip to school. Surprisingly Ali did better with the separation than Sofia did. The first two days Sofia was clingy at drop off and Ali was ready for me to leave. They both loved going to "church school" as we called it. The VBS was taught by six interns who are here for the summer. The kids loved their teachers. Ali particularly like Jeremy (or germy as Ali called him since Jeremy is apparently a tough name for a 3 year old to say) and Sofia would often talk about Hannah but they really enjoyed their time with all the teachers. I'm not sure how Ali will be on Monday when I tell her there is no more school for a little while. I guess I will start having to talk up the czech intensive school they will be attending in August for a week.

While the girls had school I took the time to get a haircut which was very overdue. I hadn't had a haircut in 12 weeks so it was a desperate situation. I ran a few other errands as well but mostly I got to hang out with friends. It was so nice to have just adult time. We sat and had breakfast and talked for hours. It was very nice. Here is a pic of my friend Joanna, me, and my friend Laura enjoy a leisurely breakfast. I had to copy the pic from Joanna's blog since I kept forgetting my camera every day.
