This morning we had a Mr. Potato-fest, dragging out all the Potato parts, from Tony Starch to Chipbacca to the newest Elvis Presley one. Madison and Daddy had a ton of fun playing with all the different potato head parts she's got, but we kept the Indiana Jones potato head guy together. Lately, Madison has been learning the meaning of the fedora, watching Larry the Cucumber as "Minnesota Cuke."
Another fun movie for Madison is "Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure."
Of course, it all has to do with a Lego video game we started playing a little while ago. Madison and Daddy have been playing the first Indiana Jones lego game on and off for a few weeks now, having completed the pirate game. This has been a fun one as well, with Madison and Daddy working together to solve puzzles and use our thinkers. What a great investment! Eight dollars has gotten us quite a bit of adventure together.
You can customize two Lego characters, so Daddy made his: a character in a Chinese hat that sort of looks like the Spider-Man villain Tombstone. Madison's character looks like a ninja with a bullwhip. We got to name these characters, so Daddy named his Tombstone. Madison named hers U9rHnBerA.
Together, Tombstone and U9rHnBerA have had many thrilling adventures, although we've got a bit to go in this game before it is done. It's neat to have Madison into this sort of genre. We just might show her the Indiana Jones stunt show at Disney when we go - I think she'd enjoy that.
Although I don't think that show features Tombstone and U9rHnBerA.
After playtime, Madison went over to Ye-Ye and Nana's house with Mommy and Daddy. We had a nice evening chatting - and eating cheese. You see, they've recently returned from the Northeast, and brought back with them some cheese from a cheese factory in Vermont. It was actually quite good - we munched on a lot.
Meanwhile, Madison and Nana were constructing the world's largest My Little Pony stable area, using an immense amount of Lincoln Logs spread out across the living room. This was a colossal effort, but soon all the ponies were lined up and comfortable in their stalls. Playtime never ends, does it?
Nana and Ye-Ye watched Madison for a bit while Mommy and Daddy went to go see "Captain America" at the theater. Great movie! Funny how we're sort of going through a cycle today with heroes defeating Nazi bad guys: Captain America, Indiana Jones, Tombstone, and U9rHnBerA!
