Güiro

Daddy is even learning a thing or two in music class.  This is a güiro, a percussion instrument that Madison will be playing at the upcoming recital.  She's playing it as a part of a mini "orchestra" performing the song "Sneaky Snake."  We're blessed that Mommy actually has one of these instruments in her collection - we've been practicing with this song and others, getting ready for the recital.  

Today was church, of course.  We were at both services today, with Daddy upstairs and down, working all over the church.  Madison stayed with her class, but enjoyed it quite a bit.  

We got home, and went back to Paradise Falls for a bit.  But we also spent some time watching "The Secret of the Wings," mainly because Madison saw all that frost on the ground the other morning.  She wanted to see the story of Periwinkle once more, so the three of us made some popcorn and had our movie night with the Disney Fairies.

Speaking of frost, it looks like we'll be seeing some really low temperatures this week.  I think unseasonably cold is the best description, really.  Yikes!  No snow though.  But this is the year for snow, we're still thinking.

More in a bit...
