Making an Impact

Here's Madison using her superpowers at church - it's your standard Crimson Viper ground pound move, which you can see has stunned those around her.  I love that posture she has - Daddy didn't tell her to give the "Iron Man pose," but she sort of did that on her own!

This morning started with church, of course, and the final weekend of our museum series.  We'll miss that old dinosaur skeleton on the stage - he's been a great backdrop for the past eight weeks or so.  During that time, we did make it to a real museum, and of course watched the two "Night at the Museum" movies.  Then there was all the learning along the way - it's been a fun month at KidPak.

We got home this afternoon, probably a little later than usual.  Daddy and Mommy were a little wiped out, but we still managed to get out to pick up some mulch and a new scarecrow for the front yard.  Not that we have any problems with crows - it's that time of year, where you feel compelled to put a scarecrow in your front yard.  Who knows?  As he sits out there now, he's probably scaring away countless mischievous creatures.  While we were out, we also got mums, which Mommy likes to plant in front of the house.  We also got a black cauldron for putting candy into at Halloween.  Madison put this over her head in the store as we rode around.  She sat there amongst the mums with a cauldron helmet, cruising along like some unusual video game cart racer.

We got home and of course had a bit of homework to catch up on.  Also, we had piano practice to catch up on too.  It took a bit of time, but Madison is good to get all of it done without much complaining.  She's also good with her spelling list as well.

Madison got a bit inspired with the Play-doh today, making "pottery" for us all.  She was pretty proud of her creation, a white bowl masterpiece.  The next thing she decided to make were dots - white dots.  Now this was puzzling for Daddy, especially when she lined them all up.  But then she got the yellow Play-Doh and made her own Pac-Man, and it all came together.

We've sort of had Pac Man fever as of late (it's driving me crazy), sort of based on the new upcoming video game series at KidPak.  We had an old copy of Pac Man, so tonight we plugged it in so Madison could experience the classic game for herself.  She and Daddy did that just a few minutes before bedtime - it was a bit of old-school fun with Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde.  Can you believe those guys have been around for over 25 years?  Daddy had bed sheets with Pac Man when he was younger, and was a big fan of the game like everyone else on earth at the time.  Happy memories!
