Madison Haiku

Today was another day where the rain poured down, cold and dreary. Here below is my attempt at a Haiku poem with Madison:

Madison was cold

Hope for spring hangs in the air

Adventures untold!

Most of the day has been spent with work, but we did have time for another epic sith lightsaber battle: Madison found her red lightsaber that had been missing from the move. This would be the red one that she made down at Disney World. This lightsaber makes sound effects as well, so you can see how noisy this clash was upstairs. Mommy was running for cover.

Lightsabers flashing, clashing

Watch the furniture!

Madison has been very busy with her homework as of late. This new theme in her life is thrilling to Mommy and Daddy. Madison is like a sponge, soaking in all sorts of new education. Mommy has been very patient with her, reviewing counting and letters - and the sounds they make.

Schooltime has arrived

Madison's learning, earning

Give her a sticker!

This has been great. Not-so-great is Madison's sudden appreciation of Barney the Dinosaur. Of course, we don't mind that much. Though he's somewhat annoying to Daddy from time to time, it's clear that Madison enjoys watching that purple critter!

Time for purple singing vile!

Let her watch a while?

Seriously, it's not that bad. Although Mommy and Daddy would like to throw B.J. off a ledge somewhere. It's been mentioned that today has been cold and rainy. It's also been windy. The weather has been quite unusual lately!

Thrilling variety!

Spring signals sun and hard rain.

Our gutters are gone!

We have new gutters on our house now. The wind and rain actually blew the old ones off. We were going to replace them anyway, but this sort of explains how hard it has been raining lately. The weather goes from sunny to pouring rain quite fast as of late.

Shadrach, Meschach, and

Abednego won't bow! It's

time God steps in now.

Tonight's movie was the Veggie Tales version of the Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego story, which Madison enjoyed. Story time was Daddy telling their story from the Bible, toned down a bit for younger listeners, yet still accurate. Unlike the Veggie Tales version: no flying carrots!

It's time to stop now.

This blog entry is quite through.

See you tomorrow!
