This week was VBS. Our church does VBS in the evenings from 6:00 to 8:30. This year's theme was a camping theme. Mr. Man and I were in charge of games. One night was a ring toss and they had to answer bible story questions. Another night was an obstacle course, set up similar to Survivor game, where the kids ran a serpentine thing, then through some rings, into a tent to find a puzzle piece that matched their team's color. They ran back and put the puzzle together, the puzzle formed the memory verse for that day. Another day was just fun times with water balloons and a water rocket launcher.
Friday night after VBS was over, I was helping clean up and the lady that was doing the Bible story center came to me and told me that they were learning about consequences for not obeying laws, etc. Spirit pipes up and tells the whole group how his mom got pulled over by the cops one night and got a ticket.
Thanks, son, for ratting me out!!

Which brings me to the next story... Thursday night I was innocently travelling down the highway...had my brights on (but I had the brights on because I realized I had a burnt out headlight! whoops) and pretty soon here comes a cop up behind me with his lights on. I pulled over. He came up to the car - I NEVER get pulled over so I was shaking and couldn't find my license. Then I find that but now I can't find the registration. After a couple minutes I finally find all the right documents (well, except our insurance JUST renewed and I didn't put the new card in the car yet and my defense on that one is that the car has been broken down for over a month and it just got fixed 5 days ago and it slipped my mind to put the new insurance card in there!) The officer asks me if I know why he pulled me over and I told him probably because of my bright lights. So he heads back to his car and after what seemed like forever he came back with a 2 point violation for "failure to dim lights". Meanwhile, Lefty is in the car with me freaking out that I am going to have to go to jail and all sorts of drama wondering also what will happen to him if they take me to jail. I kept telling him I would not be going to jail, but he wasn't buying it until that cop came back with the ticket and let us go home!

This week I got to have lunch TWICE with a good friend! We used to work together and we would go to lunch all the time. Then I got a new job and she became a SAHM which made it harder to get together so for us to be able to meet two times in one week was a wonderful treat! I miss those times of just chatting about silly girl stuff.

The ticket thing sounds terrible-I am sorry you had to go through that...we have VBS next week, and somehow I was drafted as a teacher. I wasn't planning on that-I was looking for a minute alone without kids...but I bet it will be fun...Theme is a crocodile-
What a cool idea to do VBS in the evening. Our church does not do it (yet :) but what a great idea! I'll keep that in mind! I'm sorry you got a ticket, honestly give a girl a break - right? Kinda funny about your boy though - rattin' you out and all!! Good for you on getting a lunch treat this week - it sure makes a difference those little treats once and a while to make us feel special huh!
Don't you love how open and honest children are?? It's so nice, isn't it?? " )
Boooooooo about the ticket!
I know who you had lunch with! I know! I know!!
I've only been pulled over once, and I about passed out it scared me so much!!:-)
Hope you have a wonderful Monday!
I was sitting here reading and chuckling about your cop story again and then...I got to the bottom of your post. AWWW! You are SO sweet! I feel the same way! We just don't get to do that much anymore. *sob*
