Wow. One house on our neighborhood went up for sale yesterday… and is already under contract. The market is definitely improving. The new houses being constructed in our neighborhood are fueling a bit of the rise in values for our house too, which isn't a bad thing at all. We were blessed and highly favored to be here a few years ago, at the tail end of things. And now here we are, enjoying this wonderful neighborhood. And watching it all bloom too - the flowers are all over the place. Madison is noticing daffodils - and other blooms - and remarking about the beauty of the green that is just beginning to appear on the trees.
Today was a big day for progress towards the Easter production. And there was church tonight - a lesson on obedience continued. This series has been a great one. We have some wonderful volunteers that help make KidPak a ton of fun.
Unfortunately, Madison could not go to tennis tonight. This is due to the one-car situation we currently have. Daddy was just too busy elsewhere, and we had to pass on tennis tonight. But I'll make it up to her: the weather will be warmer, and we have our own tennis courts to visit. There'll be plenty of opportunities to go play.
Although… it's not warm right now. It's rainy. And cold. And it is supposed to get colder by the weekend, actually below freezing again. That Periwinkle is just not wanting to leave so quickly - she's the fairy that is responsible for the frost on the grass. Daddy suggested swatting her, or at least using an effective spray. Madison's reply: "NO!"
We are doing all kinds of neat things for Summer Xtreme, by the way. Lots of planning there, including the storyboards for our upcoming "Tribes" cartoon. It will be fantastic. Daddy is playing the part of the cowboy once again, but this time as a 3D composite. It's a whole new level, one we're excited to be doing again for a third time.
Storyboards are funny things - they just sort of sketch out the story quickly. They run together, and aren't meant to be works of art on their own. They're just really, really quick sketches. And yet, they have their own fun appeal in their fast-paced nature. Here's a screen capture of the cowboy character, a drawing that Josh whipped out in less than a few seconds. In this shot, the Cowboy is is alerting others to a dangerous situation approaching from behind.
Of course, he's always in a good mood. And this is because the reality is that the "dangerous situation" isn't all that it seems. So planning on Summer Xtreme continues, as it will be here before you know it. Madison is a Gladiator this year, and this is the end of her year at second grade. Time sure does fly!
