Marshmallow World

There has been a battle of epic proportions, evidently.  On the left, you see EVE and a Mr. Potato Head dressed as Elvis, accompanied by a snowman henchman.  To the right, there is Jingle, accompanied by Stitch and two Coca Cola Polar Bears.  Using festive-colored lego blocks as walls, they had an all-out war with marshmallow snowballs, hurling them at each other in an apocalyptic battle... that is until Madison came into the kitchen this morning.

"Oh my gosh!" she said.  She says that when she is surprised by something - and this morning was certainly no different. 

Today Daddy finally got some decorations outside, although the rain came down pretty hard throughout the afternoon.  It wasn't snow like much of the country was getting.  This was somewhat depressing, because it is so warm outside of late.  All that will change tomorrow though:  it's supposed to dip into some wintry temperatures.  Still not enough for snow yet.  Our marshmallow snowballs will have to do for now.  Maybe sometime soon in the winter we'll get snow, but remembering a few years back, we'll have to be careful what we wish for!

We visited the chiropractor again today, which Madison always gets a kick out of.  You should hear her giggle when they start massaging her back.  And then when Dr. Williams gets in there, it's always fun for her.  Afterwards, we went to Goodwill to look for "white elephant" gifts, although we didn't find much in that regard.  We did find a few serious gifts, some collectable things still in their packages, amazingly enough.  

We came home, and it was time for lots of piano practice.  Daddy and Madison hit the keyboard while Mommy hit the kitchen for another masterpiece meal.  I pity other people's houses sometimes because they don't get treated as special as Madison and Daddy do at mealtime.

Because piano practice went on for a bit, we didn't have as much time for a movie, so tonight's special was "Frosty the Snowman."  This is that movie that makes everyone talk like Jimmy Durante for a few hours afterwards.
