Color in the Lines

Here’s today’s coloring at church, where Madison had to color in the lines. Evidently, she was in the mood for some purple grapes. Trying to communicate this, she colored the broccoli, carrot, cucumber and potato purple. Maybe she's channeling her inner Prince.

Actually she goes through phases with colors. Today was back in her “purple period.” What’s admiral is her coloring in the lines. Sort of. But certainly a great improvement from the past, and definitely when you consider that we weren’t around to tell her to give that a try. On her own, she colored this group of healthy vegetables a nice purple color. Good job!

Madison went with us to service this morning to see the next installment of our Pridelands series, but also spent time with her friends in the nursery area as well. Afterwards, she went with us for a bite to eat. Since Mommy had a coupon for Longhorn’s, we went that way and got ourselves a free appetizer with a friend from church.

We didn’t order much, but it must have been a difficult item to find, because we waited FOREVER to get the food. Fortunately, they stalled with bread – and the free appetizer. Between that, and the pleasant company, we managed to stay cool. Get this: it actually rained hard for a bit and completely dried off before we got outside again. If we didn’t notice it from the window, we’d have never known it had poured rain outside.

Madison colored more things in at Longhorn’s. Daddy was about to let her color in the table and chairs if they didn’t hurry up! But it was a good time had by all.

When we returned home, Madison was singing the theme song to the Mickey Mouse Club, so of course we had to plug that in. It’s funny hearing her sing – and hearing her say, “Oh, Toodles!”
