What a busy day for Madison! We went from one thing to the next to the next to the next, and finished just in time for bed!
Obviously, school took up most of the day. This morning was chilly again, so much so that Daddy had to go and get more firewood for the next few days. Spring technically starts tomorrow, and yet even then the temperature for us here is supposed to dive down to twenty-five degrees! Yes, that's more freezing cold weather for us.
Still, no snow this year. Two years in a row of being let down. But that one year three years ago was pretty ginormous for snow. I suppose we all miss that terribly - and the funny thing is that the people north of us have been enduring an enormous amount of snow all year long. Epic snowstorm after snowstorm, and they're no doubt sick of it. And here we are just wanting a little. Oh well - maybe next year. That's the mentality of folks in Georgia, as it relates to snow, and as it relates to sports too: "Oh well, maybe next year!"
Madison got home from school, and of course went straight to piano class, where things are getting a little more difficult with new chords and new songs. But she seems to be right there in the midst of it, ready for anything. The recital is coming up, and it has a Western theme to it: we'll be singing or playing "Home on the Range," which is one of Daddy's favorite songs for some reason. Mrs. Pam our teacher showed everyone an old version of the song, one sang by Alvin and the Chipmunks: "Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the cantaloupe play."
After piano was ballet, which Madison enjoyed as always - but after that was yet another event: a Daddy-Daughter event at the school! It was organized by the school, and was a nice event to go to for Madison and Daddy. We showed up about 5:30 with all the other dads and kids, and first went through a great big line to pick up some free food: there were hot dogs, burgers, chips, drinks, and cookies too. Madison and Daddy picked up some food from the tables, and then had a seat in the cafeteria, where Madison eats lunch every day. Next, we went over to the other side of the cafeteria, which was where the action was at!
Tiny hammers! We got our birdhouse kit, and the two of us went straight to work - Madison was so focused on the completion of her task. There was so much noise around us - kids hammering in their nails, working on tiny tables with their dads. Dress them like elves, and it would be pretty close to a scene from Santa's Workshop.
Madison and Daddy completed their birdhouse very easily, with no complications. Part of this is because Madison is so quick to learn what to do - she didn't bend any nails, and for his part, Daddy put things together correctly the first time. For a change!
As soon as we were done with our birdhouse, we posed for a few photos hoisting our completed project in the air. Then, it was off to the house for some more drawing, and eventually bedtime. We read bedtime stories tonight, some about Easter and some about vacation. Both are coming up soon - we'll be taking a quick trip to Florida coming up soon. Very much looking forward to a break - although today was certainly a lot of fun!
