The Army Ant

These past couple weeks, Andrew has really gotten into going to children's church on Wednesdays.  He sprung this one week and has been excited about it pretty much each week thereafter.  They had been practicing for a musical performance that they performed this weekend.  Andrew was an army ant in a story about bugs at a picnic and how they learned to tolerate the stink bug even though he smelled.  He had a blast ... mostly.

We saw this coming. About 2/3 of the way through the performance, all of the bugs distributed tissue paper flowers to every one in the audience. Andrew, being Andrew, was the last one to the basket and there were none left. Liz and I saw this developing all along, but, luckily, Miss Brenda (the Children's Church teacher) had a spare one on her which she gave to him. That seemed to work and the rest of the show went on without a hitch.
