Rampage

There used to be an old video game called Rampage, where three players could simultaneously work on making a huge mess out of a city block. Debris and fleeing people were everywhere, and nothing could stop these little monsters.

We were just a few minutes away from Madison in her room, and we saw Rampage all over again. It was such a spectacular sight, I just had to post it here.

Look at this room - we're talking minutes here! Our little monster was rampaging through her room, leaving debris everywhere.

It was somewhat of an "off" day for Madison - we suspect she wasn't feeling all that well. Mommy just said moments ago that she isn't feeling well either, so there's a good deal of support for this theory. Fortunately, Daddy is doing all right for the time being.

Take a look at this calendar to your right. It now hangs on the playroom wall, an early Chinese New Year gift from Nana. The panda bears are nice: Madison has a huge collection of panda bears that you'll see here on this blog one day. Mommy and Daddy have been collecting panda bears here and there - not every one we see, but on occasion we'll see something neat that we'll pick up. Madison even has a panda bear umbrella that we purchased at the Beijing Zoo. That was the year "Kung Fu Panda" came out, so we were seeing a lot of our friend the panda bear. Both the panda bear and the ladybug are our mascots of the adoption journey and as a result, Madison has a fairly substantial collection of both.

Here's a photo of Mommy and Daddy just days before meeting Madison, taken in front of the pandas at the Beijing Zoo.

There were dozens of panda bears there, but the zoo officials wouldn't let us take any home with us. That's why we have the umbrella, which Madison enjoys carrying around. It's a tiny panda bear umbrella that she hoists above her head when it is raining, and it completes her ensemble just perfectly.

It didn't rain a bit today, but it did get warmer. We did some shopping at fabric stores and such, and came home early after our last stop at Goodwill. It was just one of those days where everyone needed to get home. Madison was a little moody, despite eating and a nap in the car, so we figured an early night might be best.

Hopefully, she'll be a little better tomorrow. Still hoping Mommy will be too.
