Mar. 7, 2008 - Bunko and Duct tape
We are in a new season. Our kids have social lives. Places to go, people to see. Tonight is a very busy for our children. Lily has plans to attend the Popcorn Theater at church for a showing of Toy Story, Davis and his friend are going to a free concert across the street , and Caroline (after we pick her up from dance) is going to a Middle School Bunko night at church.........we, the grown ups are spending the rest of our night driving around dropping off and picking everyone up! 
I actually am looking forward to it. I have a new worship CD I want to listen to!
I'm not sure exactly what Bunko is, but it is some sort of a game. To make the game night more interesting the kids are suppose wear Duct Tape fashions. I am basically lazy, so I suggested that we make a headband and a neck tie....or something easy like that. But instead my industrious, creative children designed and constructed a beautiful silver and blue duct tape dress! It should be interesting to see what other fashions have been created with adhesive!
*Update
WOW! The competion was fierce! Although Caroline's duct tape dress was totally impressive, hers was not the only awe inspiring outfit. One of the young leaders had constructed an entire suit out of shiny "chrome" duct tape. There were super heroes, a kitty cat, and even a rainbow girl whose dress was rainbow colored tape and hula hoops! I was glad that my kids didn't listen to me...it would have been lame to have showed up with only a neck tie and a headband! 
I'm still not sure what Bunko is...or what it has to do with duct tape...but, it was a fun time nonetheless.
Lily liked Toy Story. She had not seen it before. She has been calling the mean boy "Sin" instead of Sid. She often confuses names. This blunder is fitting, huh?
Davis and his friend had fun at he concert, although they said it was too loud and too long. I sure am glad I passed on that one. If they thought it was too loud and too long, I definately would've felt that.
As for us, in between drop offs and pick ups, we did manage to eat Mexican at our favorite place and listen to my new CD. It's a new season.

Amazing what a new dimension we add to our lives when the kids have evening activities, isn't it? Oh, you'll have to join us for a Moms' Night Bunko sometime. It is an absolute blast!
