Kinetic

Madison was quite kinetic today, a bundle of raw energy that exploded all throughout the day.  Sometimes you blame it on sugar, or being too tired - in this case it was neither.  She was just plain wired!  When Daddy got home he and Madison gave Mommy a little break by going to the library - why, you ask?  Well, Madison finished her fifty book goal, and she got to get a free book!  She picked an "Olivia" book, and got a certificate, and her name on a star on the wall.  She put it there, towards the bottom.  She also got a plastic bat ring, which might be her favorite gift of all (as soon as the free stickers are all used up!).

You may be wondering what these photos are on this entry today - they're photos that Madison herself took.  Yep, Daddy had left the photobooth program open on the computer, and along came Madison.  She actually took about a dozen photos of herself using the different filters.  Later on, Mommy and Daddy found these and laughed - she actually did a good job.  These are two of Daddy's favorites from the collection.

Rain, rain, rain.  We need it and we'll take it.  The air outside feels so humid, like we're on Dagobah.  Which happens to be a planet I've been to, of course.  The windows everywhere - at church, here and in other buildings - are all fogged up with condensation as if we all live in greenhouses.  It's the other way around, of course.  The greenhouse is outside, and we've all got our normal air conditioning on:  it's just so humid outside that you can't see through the windows.

Today's harvest of tomatoes was HUGE.  We're talking ginormous!  Lots and lots and lots of tomatoes.  You should see 'em!  Even Madison can't eat them all in one sitting - and that girl can pack 'em in.  She'll eat those tomatoes first and fast - you should see her with tomatoes.

Today was a big work day for Daddy again, but we did have time to spend with each other in the evening.  Madison went to bed early - we were thinking she was really tired or something.  Like I said, it was one of those days where she was bouncing off the walls!
