Our visit with Bob and Larry

What do you get when you take one life-size cucumber, a full-grown tomato, one trunk and one treat? Well, basically the makings for the last couple of weekends around our house. Caleb, a devout fan of Elmo has recently crossed over into VeggieTales territory. Now, grant it, we are thrilled. They teach Biblical principles, help instill Godly values, and let's face it, if you really sit and watch them, are downright funny. However, whenever something captures Caleb- it CAPTURES him, and that is the only thing, when it's time for a video, that he wants to watch. Sam and I can now sing you any song that you could possibly ever want to hear from any of their videos. You want "God is bigger than the boogie man?" know it. "Oh Where is my hairbrush?", done. "Love your neighbor?", even Caleb sings that one. So you get the point. Well two weeks ago, they came to Lifeway, and I thought he'd be thrilled. Off we all go, with colds, to see Bob and Larry, only to find that Caleb suddenly turned shy and wouldn't even smile at the camera. However, he did later sit at their feet like he was watching them on tv. So much for dressing him as Bob for Trunk or Treat. Maybe next year!
