The oldest son, 17 yo AnselAdams, has a dance coming up soon. It is an Antebellum Ball, and all have to attend "in character." The ball is for students and alumni of the worldviews classes which he attends. This week, they are learning some of the dances that would have been danced in the 1800's. 14 yo daughter has been recruited to go to the dance lessons to be a dance partner, so the guys in the classes don't have to dance with each other.
Our son has decided to go as Samuel Clemmens...aka Mark Twain. It promises to be an enjoyable and historic evening for all!
I thought that if I go as a parent chaperone, I'd like to go as Julia Ward Howe, or as a female spy :-).
Now we've got to get creative and pull the costumes together...or try to borrow from friends who used to participate in Civil War Reinactments. Here's hoping for some help, anyway!
The same day as the ball, AA and Dd and I will be leading worship a couple of times at a homeschool moms conference, so we will be very busy. I don't know why things like that tend to fall on the same weekend...we didn't know it at the time that we said "yes." We actually had to turn our own church down for worship leading for a Ladies' Day on the same day, since we'd already booked the other event first.
Normally, our family makes concerted efforts to keep some margin in the schedule, as much as is in our power to do so. It just doesn't always work out that way. I do believe that the Lord will supply the energy and effort we need to accomplish what He wills, as long as we line up with His will :-).

I hope you will take pictures of the ball! The girls and I are just green with envy (in the best possible way of course)!
