Downpours again today, although the rain hasn't been as frequent of late. Today sort of made up for things though, as it came down in buckets, or torrents, or like cats and dogs - whatever you think fits best. For this reason Madison pretty much stayed at home all day with Madison. There's no sense in going out much on a day like this.
A lot was scheduled for this weekend - it was a Saturday, and almost fall. For example, "Suwanee Day" was today, where our church was scheduled to be involved in a parade and hosting a booth. The booth was literally flooded at one point, as there was so much rain.
Daddy went to work for a bit today, and he also spent some time with his old friends in Cleveland, celebrating a few birthdays. One of them was Daddy's - we couldn't meet in October, so we did a bit of celebrating a little early. "Celebrating" usually means playing video games, which we did largely until it was time to get back home. It was funny though: at one point, we were sitting there on a game, and we saw Daddy's video game system come on from our house. Madison was actually turning it on, and playing at home at the same time, so we saw her turn the system on from where we were. Then we saw she was playing the same game as we were: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Out of the Shadows). Anyway, it was time to go home afterwards, and that's when Daddy got home to see the girls.
We've been looking at Madison's homework that has been coming home as of late - it's been impressive! She's a really bright kid, and doesn't have to work too hard to learn certain things. Sure, we'll drill certain spelling words a few times until she gets them right. But overall, she's nailed down spelling pretty well, and is above average for her age group. Math is similar. And check this out here:
It's the water cycle. Madison knows evaporation, condensation and precipitation! These are four-syllable words! There have been a lot of homework assignments coming back, and she's been able to explain a lot of things to us - things Daddy thought she wouldn't learn until next year or the year after. But she is such a bright kid! But then again, after this summer, I'm sure everyone here in the region knows the definition of "precipitation." We've been hearing it all summer long, and in fact we've had a ton today. And... there'll be more in the middle of the week.
