2 More days to go!

Well, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now!  Tomorrow is the last day of VBS!  Last night we increased our numbers to 491 kids!!!  I'll bet tonight we break 500.  Wow.  My classes weren't too bad last night.  I made my daughter Katie (she's one of my helpers) laugh so hard that she had to leave the room, with her legs crossed!  After repeating the same stuff with 5 different groups of preschoolers, I just had to shake things up a bit or else I was going to blow!  We have a CD that has a medly of about 4 different styles of music (classical, a fast techno, polka and she'll be comin round the mountain)  I told the kids to just feel the music and move their bodies in the way that the music makes them feel.  It was great!  The kids were all over the place, and all their teachers were doing it and acting crazy.  Well, I was doing it too, and Katie was sitting in the corner totally humiliated, thinking that her mother had completely gone over the edge.  Every now and then she would chuckle at something stupid I would do.  Well, when the "she'll be comin round the mountain" part came, I started to lift my knees up and slap them with both hands, (and apparently I had a stupid grin too) and it tore Katie up!!!  She jumped up and took off for the door.  Well, I beat her to the door, and spun her around to see where she was going (all the while still slapping my knees) and her face was frozen in this look of hysteria with her mouth wide open, with little tears squeezing out of her closed eyes. She couldn't talk, just shook her head and went out the door!  I knew I looked silly, but good grief, I didn't know it was that bad!  Well, now I've got to figure out something else to do tonight to make her pee her pants!!  I have found some joy in teaching preschool music!!!
