Pink Planet

Madison called Daddy up at work today to let him personally know the big news:  she bought the pink planet.  This was big news - that means she's read quite a few books online, and answered all the questions about them correctly.  She earned enough points to move her space room off one moon to another much more interesting planet.  Daddy sent a message to her via this online game (you can do that).  She'll hopefully get it at school, congratulating her, and asking her if the planet tastes like cotton candy.

Speaking of "at school," here's a picture that Madison's teacher took today.  She had each of the kids line up against the wall for a patriotic shot:

She's got the hula girl shirt on, but she's all about liberty.  Especially when it involves ice cream cone snacks!

Today was a work day for Daddy, and a late one at that.  Madison did do a bit of piano practice, but did a lot of reading as well, as described above.  We're really proud of her - she's doing a fantastic job.

Meanwhile, the harvest moon has been amazing to look at.  It's actually the Autumn Moon Festival time, which means going out to find a moon pie somewhere.  We're pretty busy today and tomorrow, so hopefully we can squeeze that one in on Sunday.  Mommy might not be able to eat a moonpie, but Madison and Daddy could.  We'll read some books about mooncakes and so forth too - Mommy has had Madison coloring in activity sheets related to the Autumn Moon Festival, as well as mooncakes.  She might even cook something up special for us!
