Lego Pirates of the Caribbean

Arrr! Here be another adventure for Mommy, Daddy and Madison: Lego Pirates! Daddy picked this up yesterday, and after "sampling" it yesterday, we thought we'd let Madison give it a try on the cooperation mode. A few hours later, Daddy and Madison were still playing a bit, with the promise of picking it up again some day soon. We got it to get into the pirate spirit of things, but I will say this: Madison picked up the concepts right away. She's four. She knew how to jump in directions, build things, ride animals, swim and move things about. Daddy didn't have to say much to teach her the basics - she just sort of figured it out all for herself. She loved it! All night long, she was saying, "Arrr!"

Tonight, Mommy and Daddy watched "Treasure Island" with Robert Newton. Great flick if you're looking for pirates! We have a lot of pirate movies, actually. We've been cycling through them as if it were Christmas time and we were watching Christmas movies!

Madison was at church this morning, and had a wonderful time, as usual. This past visit, she made clouds on blue construction paper, by gluing on pieces of cotton (Not Mr. Cotton, mind you). What was neat about this was when Mommy asked her who made the clouds: she said, "Jesus."

The watermelon and cantaloupe has been been SO GOOD right now. Perfectly in season. We've really been enjoying that - there's not much better than delicious watermelon on a hot day in May!
