When Daddy got home from church late this afternoon, Madison was anxious to get ready to decorate! Mommy recently picked up some brownie pans in the shape of houses - and with October here, there's only one real way to decorate them: with spiders, webs, creepy eyes, pumpkins and of course candy corn!
What a fun thing at family time. Mommy had it all set up for us, and so all we had to do was start decorating. Daddy and Mommy helped Madison out a little, but once we got her started, she created a masterpiece largely on her own. Want to see it?
Meanwhile, Daddy was making his creation as well - here it is:

Madison designed her own brownie, complete with spiders, webs, creepy eyes and an entrance with plenty of doorknobs! |
Meanwhile, Daddy was making his creation as well - here it is:

It was this sort of afternoon - after piano practice, it was time for another first for Madison:
We finally let her see "The Nightmare Before Christmas." She got her customary large tub of popcorn (everything is large to her!), and hunkered down for a night in front of our movie screen. Everyone loved the movie - it's one of Daddy's favorites. She likes Sally, of course, and was immediately worried when Sally and Santa had to be rescued - but she knew that Jack would come back for them. Daddy's favorite character is the Mayor.
Here's a guy you can depend on. Sure, he starts to panic a little easily - but he's also a natural leader, and a guy who likes to get things done. Best of all, I've seen absolutely no negative campaigning from him. Sure, some folks might think he's two-faced, and just another politician. But having two faces is a good thing: you see both sides of every issue!
"What a splendid idea! This Christmas sounds fun. I fully endorse it - let's try it at once!"
- The Mayor
