Back to the Art Gallery

We were back at the art gallery tonight - Madison's school had its annual fund raiser, where parents could buy their student's works, matted and framed very nicely.  Mommy loves this frog here - Madison named the frog Lilly, although I don't think she fully got the whole "lilly pad" joke.  I think she just named the frog Lilly because she likes the name.

It was a busy afternoon (and a cold one too).  We ate dinner before this, and before dinner was piano practice continued.  Madison has selected her recital song, "Stately Gavotte," which she can play pretty effortlessly right now.  It has about three chords in it for the left hand, and wanders up and down one octave on the right hand.  It's a fun piece, and it's catchy too.  Oh, and it's "stately" as well.  Whatever that means.  I think that means there's a bunch of "pomp" with it.

Tonight was an early bed time for us.  Mommy now has the stomach flu thing, which apparently is on a massive scale through about eleven states.  The states, however, are not all next to each other, which makes it somewhat unusual.  Daddy is feeling better, and by this time tomorrow, Mommy will feel better herself hopefully.  Madison, however, needed to catch up on some sleep - and tonight that happened.  She went to bed around 6:00 pm, when there was still sunlight out for another two hours or so.

We still read the Bible, of course.  And we're close to ending up the current Ka-Zar series, which means finding another comic soon.  This current comic ended with a cliff-hanger of sorts for Shanna, who Madison is quite worried about.  She asked if I could read her a bit from the next comic, just so she could see if Shanna was okay.  But that's the nature of cliffhangers, isn't it?

Speaking of which, just wait until tomorrow's post...
