Today was a short day at school, a half day for some reason. It is probably work-related for the teachers, and the students of course won't complain. Madison had a few library items to go through, a few of them related to DC Super Hero Girls. One was a movie Daddy reserved for her, and there'll be another reserved in a bit. She also has two graphic novels with the characters, so it's somewhat of a theme today.
And here's the other part of the theme: she put her LEGO creation together, which was something from the DC Super Hero Girls, a Wonder Woman play set. She put it together all by herself, which is something you'll see in just a little bit. We've been taking pictures from parents of their kids and LEGO creations this series, and posting them on the screens at KidPak, and on social media as well. Of course, Madison has her entry now too. Usually, it is done a lot quicker, but she was waiting on getting something new, which she of course did.
More of Harvey's rain came down upon us today, and despite the threat of fronts racing towards us through Alabama, the rain wasn't violent at all. Just wet. And we're good with that, of course. Harvey is making a tour through the country, traveling north and upwards. Meanwhile, another hurricane threatens off the coast of Africa. This one is named Irma, and there is already concern. Harvey was quite a shock, and everyone is praying Irma veers north into the Atlantic. We'll see.
We're still working on our LEGO mini figure costume for KidPak. Clearly, this is going to take a while. Just cutting out the pattern and the material is going to take a long time. Today, we were buying all kinds of material to use to make this thing, from foam camping beds to paints and glues. Tonight's service was a big group service, so no small group, which meant we could spend more time focusing on that costume. It will be good when we make it, but it will take a bit of time.
Madison spent time with the piano today, and time reading as well. She's got the graphic novels of the DC Super Hero Girls, which is such a mouthful to say. But she's also reading other things as well. Daddy was able to read a little this afternoon, both from the devotional and from the new Descendants book. Madison is enjoying this one, but Mommy is too. It's fun reading!
Madison will be Uma a few times coming up - she has the costume, of course. The first time will actually be just a few weeks from now, on Talk Like a Pirate Day. We hadn't thought of it, but why not where that pirate costume to Krispy Kreme? That'll be fun. Madison likes the character, and of course she's in the book quite a bit. This book is a prequel to the sequel, which is kind of funny to say. Basically, it's the "Shadows of the Empire" to "Return of the Jedi." Which is such a geek thing to say. In very simple terms, it sets up the sequel. Okay?
Anyway, we read for a bit, and then Daddy was off to church. Mommy and Madison had an early night tonight, getting to bed on time, and off to get a good night's rest. Back to a full day of school tomorrow!
