Agent Carter

Madison has been really crazy about Agent Carter.  We've gone through these episodes of Agent Carter (season 1) very fast this week, and tonight we wrapped it all up with the season finale.  She loved it.  She uses Agent Carter in the LEGO Marvel game, and compares other characters to Agent Carter.

Someday, Madison will be just like Agent Carter, or at least that's her goal presently.  Of course, not really.  But she has been hooked on the show, so much so that we've been binge watching season one this week.  In our defense, we did start the season before we left on vacation, so it's been a while since we started it.  Also, there are only eight episodes in a season, so it's not like it would take that long to watch the entire thing.

Regardless, she likes Jarvis and Agent Carter, and can't wait to see what happens in season two.  Daddy likes season one the best, but we'll see after watching it again soon.  Yes, we have season 2 now:  Mommy got that for Daddy as an anniversary present of sorts, both seasons of Agent Carter.  Too bad there aren't any more seasons.  This was one of those bad decisions made last year.

Anyway, Daddy was back at work today, with meeting after meeting.  We were planning out the college for the students coming in, while of course tackling what we'll need to do for Wednesday night and this Sunday.  Daddy is speaking to the kids this Sunday, so that will be nice.  It should be a great day over all.

Today was a good day too though.  We had Taco Tuesday once more, and once Daddy got home, we had ourselves a creative team meeting.  It was great - so great.  Daddy was trying to think of what to do for a devotional, possibly doing a story for the LEGO themed devotional in a couple weeks.  We haven't written page one yet.  So Madison and Daddy had this creative team meeting, and started planning out a story, writing it all out, or at least typing it all out.  Anyway, the point is that by the time we were done with our meeting at home, Madison and Daddy had come up with an interesting story that uses the some of Madison's LEGO characters, inserting them into Bricksburg from "The LEGO Movie."  We'll see how it comes out, but we have a good start, that much is certain!

The weather - can you believe it?  No rain today.  A day without rain.  We've had so much lately, and that's a great thing.  Apparently, we're still in some odd level of drought though.  This is simply because the lake is not full yet.  It's getting there, that's for sure.  The drought is going on - and this is a funny reason - because we're currently in a "dry season."  Tell anyone around here that this season we're in right now is a dry season, and they will heartily - and rightfully - laugh in your face.  It has done nothing but rain lately.

And we're not complaining one bit.  Or at least this family is not.  We need the rain, first of all.  That much we acknowledge.  The other thing is that the rain passes by.  It's loud and nearly violent at times.  But it passes, and it stops raining for the rest of the day.  And all along the way, the cloud formations are dramatic, majestic, and awe-inspiring, particularly around sunset.

Tonight we continued our reading, in the devotional, and with the current battle against the Mandarin.  he seems to have the upper hand, but he's certainly been outfoxed by Tony Stark thus far.  That trend will no doubt continue, and it has been fun reading about it.
