Take me to the Pilate

Here is just one of the costumes Mommy has been working on - Madison seems to approve. She's meeting Claudia, Pilate's wife, played by Mary Jo Castro, who has been a HUGE part of our children's ministry for quite some time. Madison likes her a lot - and pretty much all the characters.

Actually, she likes everyone at the church: choir practice was ending today, and all of the choir members had to come up and down this hallway. Madison made a point of hugging each one! One at a time you could hear the choir members: "Awwww!" It was fun.

We did some shopping for fabric today, but while down in Alpharetta, Daddy took Madison to the Disney Store. Madison loves running around free in the mall. We were at Northpoint, and she was pretty happy when she saw all the stuff there. The escalator is always an adventure, but so were the mannequins and the seats that were all over the mall. She's just got to sit in every one!

She's loves shopping. I think we're in trouble in that department!

While at the Disney Store, we picked up a stuffed animal of Stitch's counterpart "Angel," who is basically a pink version of Stitch. Zena and I first saw Angel at Hong Kong Disney - we've got a pin of her. Actually, we have pins of a lot of things. Pins are something you can get too much of at Disney. But the Hong Kong ones were unique, so we grabbed ourselves several souvenirs. They're great because they're cheaper than other souvenirs, and don't take up as much space. Along those lines, the pressed pennies are good too. Madison gets excited about using a pressed penny machine. It's gotten to the point where I have to bring enough coins to make two pressed pennies for every machine, that way Madison can get her own pennies as well. Let's see...the last one she got was at the Atlanta Zoo, I think. There might have been one at that Miniature Train place up in Helen too. We put them all in specialized booklets, where they're all lined up to show off. We have about four of these booklets so far. Pressed pennies are really cheap souvenirs!

ANYWAY, we were there at the Disney Store to pick up our copy of "The Princess and the Frog," but I'm not sure when we'll have time to actually watch it. This week is really busy - in fact, I have to get back to work now on a devotional for EXODUS.
