Dish Washer Gnome

Wish I had a picture to show you of this one. Madison didn't have her shirt on, but she did manage to find a Santa Claus hat from her costume chest. She put that on her head, and the thing stood up vertically to a point, just like a large elongated triangle pointing upward to a small white puff. Combined with her impish grin, it was the cutest scene she made in the kitchen as she saw Daddy unloading the dishwasher: Madison likes to help out, you see. She ran around with that hat on and no top, looking just like a beardless garden gnome, handing us plates and silverware to put away: she was our very own dish washer gnome!

Today's class was a lot of fun as well. Mommy and Madison went and had a wonderful time again - Madison really, really enjoys this class. There are so many games and things to learn, and yes: there's homework. Madison did some of that with Mommy today, as the two played with Madison's cat piano, bounding across the black keys. It is a quick hour, this class. But it is a lot of fun for her. And us!

Tomorrow, class continues, but Madison is also coming to church with Mommy and Daddy. There's still a lot to do for this upcoming series at church, and Mommy is helping out with that - and the illustrated sermon for the adults upstairs. Once again, it's Mommy to the rescue to dress up actors like soldiers on Iwo Jima. It should be a very thrilling weekend - and it looks to finally be a restful week next week. Finally, we can slow down a bit!
