We got back and were able to rest for a little bit and then we went to a meeting with the boys' council. This is a group of three of the older boys who work together to plan things for the littles and work to be good leaders and role models. They were so sweet as they planned a pancake breakfast and special morning for the little boy's and girl's day.
After dinner, I was able to go to one of the cottages and play cards and listen to their mama do the devo before bed. It was so much fun to see the silliness of those girls!
One thing I've learned about all these kids it that they LOVE Star Wars! All of the older kids have seen episodes 1, 4, 5, and 6. And they know every detail. I am so glad that I have three brothers who have always loved Star Wars so much and gotten me to watch the movies so that I have some trivial knowledge to talk about with them. They also think that it is so cool that my brother's name is Luke like Luke Skywalker. I see a lot of light saber fights in my future, which I've had a lot of practice in so I'll be ready!
They also ask all kinds of questions:
- What's your birthday? I've already found a boy with my birthday.
- What's your favorite color?
- How many sisters/brothers do you have?
- Who's your favorite Star Wars Character?
- And plenty more, but my favorite question I've been asked so far: How many grandsons do you have? This question was met with lots of laughter from the rest of the kids at the table and lots of confusion from me. :-)
These kids are great and I can't wait to get to know them better and better!
Thank you all for all of your prayers! It means so much!
I haven't been to good about taking pictures yet, but I'll try to post some here or on Facebook tomorrow.
Lauren :-)
