Okay, we're not talking squirrels in your pants - we're talking about ants. Today we tried out yet another new game - "Ants in Pants." This game is simple: you flick small plastic ant-shaped objects into a giant dog's pants. The dog happens to be in a firefighter's outfit. I'm not entirely sure of the connection here - perhaps they are fire ants?
Another thing: how does PETA feel about this game? First of all, we're hurling insects. Second of all, we're hurling them en masse at a defenseless animal.
Needless to say, Madison really enjoyed it. This was one of those tender father/daughter moments. Cue the soft camera lens and gentle acoustic guitar as Daddy patiently teaches Madison how to properly put her index finger down and send a plastic ant flying through the air. It took her a while to grasp the concept of aim, velocity, angles, gravity, weight, and myrmecology. But when she did, she applied basic physics and managed to get four of them-there ants in that dog's pants! Yes, today was another first: Madison's first ant in pants. Excuse me while I quietly shed a tear.
This morning, Madison tried another age-old game: shopping for a new outfit. Daddy and Mommy went to the pulmonologist (lung specialist), so Nana agreed to pick her up on the way to Goodwill. There, Madison met Aunt Shain and Hannah too - and everyone had a good time. They ate at Chick-Fil-A, and did a bunch of clothes shopping together. Hannah and Madison were trying on clothing, and looking in the mirror to see what looked best. Madison wore her final choice for much of the day - she was quite proud!
