yo, guess who?

its me! Chris! everyones favorite funky dude is back for more wondeful blogging action! now let me tell you something awesome. im hoping you've been keeping up with my blog and you know that we're having a vacation bible school (VBS) type thing in our back yard. and so far its going awesome. the first day we had 4 kids. they where all between 9 and 11, except for one little dude who was 5, so technically he wasn't supposed to be there. this thing is for ages 7-18. the second day we had 2 girls, so what if it was half the group we had before, it was someone. i'm surprised anyone actually came, so i'm happy no matter what. and then today i could not believe it, we had 9 kids! so what if 3 kept leaving, and so what if them and 3 others took off as soon as we were done eating, we still had 9 at one point. so now i will do my best to tell you about everything, very breifly.

on the first day, after some fun practicing and teaching sarah the evanescence drama (my personal favorite), we went to eeden (a nearby mall) and did a awesome performance, dancing and doing dramas. the only problem was that the second line dance we do, none of us really knew that well, and, well, i'll say it bluntly, we STUNK! and to make it better, we where dancing to a 5 minute song...oh, well. comedy always suited me better anyway. then we did the evanescence drama and, don't tell sarah i said this but, sarah did awesome! she picked it up so quick, and did it so well! but like i said, don't tell her i said that. and so that was cool. and then that night as we were walking in to town to hand out fliers we met up with liis and maret, who had been planing to come at 4 anyway, and when we told them we were going to hand out fliers they came along too. liis was like super flier hand out girl, it was awesome. and maret had a broken leg so...yeah. and then after a fun time handing out fliers we got home and had 3 kids show up at the door pretty fast, which was wicked cool. and then we knew there was a little girl living a ccross the street so we had liis go and give her a flier, and so soon she was over here too. the theme for the night was "be strong". so we did all sorts of strong type things, like tug of war! which just about ripped my hands off but was still fun. and then that night sarah started teaching us "river dance", which of course made me look like a retarded leprechuan, but was awesome fun.

so then next day in both the morning and the afternoon we went to hand out fliers, and again we performed at eeden, doing better this time. and this time only the girl from accross the street (whos name is "etthel", like ethel in english) and her friend came but we still had fun. the theme for the night was "listen" so we did the evanescence drama, becuase in the drama kristel has to choose who to listen to, the evil one (me, of course) or the good one (sarah). and we continued to teach them the line dance, which we had started teaching the day before. and so we had tons of fun with that. and then since it didn't rain we roasted marshmallows, which was wonderfully tasty! and sarah, liis and veronika dragged me over and made me do more river dance, i'm getting better. then that night me, sarah and maret walked liis home and underestimated the distance, so we didn't get home until almot 11:30. man we were dead tired.

so then today, once again we handed out fliers, did a great performance at eeden, and had people come. only today was cool becuase the girl etthel came and handed out fliers with us, which is great becuase people would much rather take a flier from a nice little girl than from a big creepy dude like me. and then tonight our theme was "follow me" ("me" being jesus). and so we had fun playing all sorts of games, and having to run inside to avoid rain. and then we did a craft where we made cross's and as we did that kristel read from a little book about jesus dying on the cross and everything. and so now we just finished watching "america's next top supermodel" (eva won!), and are now watching "monk". which is hilariously funny. so i'm gonna go now, becuase i'm so tired of typing. bye, Cya.
