It was all about Monsters University today. Mommy was a tiny bit under the weather, and the weather was pretty cold and wet outside - so we went for a trip to MU. And a trip to Fear Tech as well:
Madison has grown attached to Archie the Scare Pig. Okay, so we literally played video games all day today. This may be one of those things listed on "Bad Parenting," but Madison and Daddy were having such a good time with Disney Infinity that we just didn't know when to stop! Yes, we TPed Fear Tech's campus and hung up "Monsters U Rules" posters on their buildings. But the thing Madison enjoyed the most - and I'm talking really enjoyed - was setting traps.
One minute you're walking up to a kiosk with bulletin boards and papers hung up on it advertising for college events. The next, a ginormous joke hand comes out and slaps you forty feet down the sidewalk! This in itself was hilarious, setting traps for each other, but then other random monsters would fall into the trap as well, each one getting launched skyward with lots of noise and fanfare. But that's only the beginning. Soon, we discovered that you could set a trap exactly where your hapless victim landed from the previous hit. Meaning, you can chain two traps together. And then yes, we discovered you can chain even more. I think our most was about nine traps - there were monsters flying everywhere. Each one on one side of Fear Tech's campus, when suddenly... WHAM! They get hit, and fly forty feet. And then they get hit again! And fly further. And again, and again and again. Just a casual stroll across their campus, and you'd see airborne monsters left and right, soaring across their beautiful (and toilet-paper covered) campus.
THIS is the thing that Madison loved the most. She was laughing so incredibly hard at this, and it was hard to stop. She was having such a great time!
SO... regretfully, we didn't do much else today. At the same time, I think days like this are a little fun every so often. We did just get the game for Christmas, after all!
As for Mommy, she got better quickly, so that's good. Tomorrow we're planning our last service of KidPak for the year, and our "Second Annual Golden Cat Awards." It'll be a look back on the best videos we've done over the past year - we do a few per service, so that's a lot to look through. But we're nearly done with that, and I think the day is going to be fun, and casual. Almost casual - we'll be all dressed up like for an Academy Awards Ceremony. I've specifically instructed one of our girls on stage to not wear a swan dress.
Although on second thought, that might be a little fun, wouldn't it?
