future Navy spy

I had a good bit of work to do regarding our upcoming Vacation Bible School, so I took Dennis to the church with me. He happened to get spy toys in his Happy Meal today, and when we got home, he packed a "spy kit" with his new toys and a disguise (his fireman jacket, a pair of fake eyeglasses with no lenses, and a camouflage ball cap). He took this kit with him to church, and he spent a very happy three hours sneaking around. Every person that passed me told me about my child, the future Navy spy (today's future career choice) as he'd talked to every person around on his 'missions'. After both pastors remarked on it, Dennis came in to say "I talked to Brother Larry and Brother Brian. Did you know they both have offices upstairs?". He apparently talked to the Administrative Assistant about fingerprinting, to the Youth Minister about a spy team, and to one of the other Preschool Teachers about his work. She (the teacher) entrusted the spy on a secret mission to deliver a note to me, which he did, and I went to talk with her about her class that I'll be teaching on Monday. Then he recruited one of the Children's Minister's kids (his good buddy Grace) and her babysitter to play spy with him. They spied on everyone who walked through the hallway. Dennis had a fabulous day. He hated to leave the church to go to Taekwondo!

The graduation pictures were up on the school bulletin board as we were leaving earlier today, so I snapped a quick phone pic of Dennis in cap and gown. Sigh.
