She loved it!

The lock in was a success. She had fun, met nice kids, ate pizza and had a scavenger hunt that ended with ice cream, watch "The Brady Family (Bunch)" movie and learned about her bible. SUCCESS!!

Today after pick up, we went to the Franklin Farmer's Market where I spotted two celebrities. Not super star struck, but definitely star excited. I played it cool and didn't attack them or take their picture or anything, but I did want to...They deserve to have family shopping/normal time, right? Right.

Off to dinner with friends thanks to Living Social. Maybe we will see more celebrities? I know the Judds have been known to eat there.

More later...

First church lock in

Tonight is Lauren's first church lock in. All of the 3rd graders at our church were presented a bible last Sunday and tonight they will learn how to use them. I think it is a terrific idea! A bible can be a confusing tool to use, especially at first! She is very excited!! I volunteered to take a dozen cookies, so after school drop off this morning, Jack and Kate and I will be going to Sam's to get some cookies. Wonder if he'll try to get me to buy some for our house as well...bet I know.
