Return of the Penguins

It's been a while since Madison has seen these penguins, where now she's older and wiser.  And not quite as intrigued as she used to be either, apparently!  She really wanted to see these guys taken down from the top shelf in her closet, and when Daddy set it all up on the kitchen table, her attention span was pretty dismal!  She was actually complaining that it was a little loud, and maybe even just a little boring!  Compare that to a few years ago, when she could sit and watch these penguin sliders all day long.  I think she thought this was going to be a game, and her memory was a little fuzzy as to what this actually was - the box was actually up there right next to the Cooties game, so she was thinking perhaps this would be another fun thing to do.

Imagine our surprise when it wasn't the attention-getter it used to be for her.  Oh well, at least it was loved at one point, very much so.  And it will be loved again when we give it as a gift to some lucky toddler.  The funny thing is that the box says this toy is for kids six and up.  Madison is six now, and was sort of ho-hum about it.

Today was a huge work day for Daddy, still helping out with the remnants of the ONE Marriage Conference at church, while setting up for a final service tomorrow at the Big Top.  We actually picked up a few coupons for another circus in town this upcoming week, but it's on Tuesday and Wednesday, two days we just can't go near because of being so busy.

This Thursday, however, we are going to return to Ringling Brothers' circus at the Gwinnett Arena.  The neat thing about KidPak is that we've had this circus theme going on, and of course the ONE Marriage Conference had a similar theme as well.  There was plenty of leftover cotton candy, in fact, so Daddy smuggled ten or eleven bags out for everyone to enjoy on Thursday.  That is, unless Madison gets a hold of a bag before then, in which case it will be instantly eaten!

We did a lot of editing at work, and a lot of cleaning up too.  Madison had a good day at home with Mommy, the two of them relaxing and enjoying the day inside.  The weather has been rainy, to the point of flash flood warnings - and with the temperature so chilly, it's a good idea to stay at home and stay warm.
