Stinky McPootysprinkles

If ever there was a perfect definition of something lurking, it would be Irma.  This hurricane has captured everyone's imagination, only because certain meteorologists have described it as the perfect storm, this super powered beast that could be a category six, even if there are only five categories.  So these sorts of stories get passed around the internet, and then other meteorologists have to urge everyone to calm down, saying, "We don't know what's going to happen yet."  And that's where we are now, not knowing what's going to happen yet.  We know this:  no one wants to see Irma up close. Hopefully she'll migrate northward and out to sea.

Tonight is our big ballet day for Madison.  She was at jazz and ballet class tonight, as Mommy and Daddy were off getting more stuff for the LEGO suit.  Daddy spent hours today, cutting out patterns and materials.  And this was just for the pants.  Yes, this will answer that question, "Honey, where's my pants?"

Madison got a 100 on her math test today, and she probably did it without even thinking.  She is just naturally gifted with math, as it all immediately makes sense to her.  Literature is another matter, although she loves to read.  She has a book she's assigned to read, one called, "The Westing Game."  Daddy has to look that one up.  It won a Newberry Award in 1978, and Daddy and Mommy have never heard of it before.  How is this possible?  Well, regardless, we're going to hear about it now.  It sounds interesting!

That's her required reading.  Not required is the nightly reading we're doing with the "Rise of the Isle of the Lost" and of course her nightly devotional.  We're meeting with Harry Hook in the first book there, and Daddy is reading his lines with an Irish accent.  Or at least a Scottish accent.  Not sure which one it is, really.  Regardless, it's fun reading this book with so many different characters to work with.

Madison had her art class today, something she rather enjoys.  Her art teacher is Teacher of the Year, and just loves Madison, who came home with the enrichment classes schedules.  Enrichment is that after school class students can take on Wednesdays.  Last year, Madison took nothing but art for her enrichment class.  She wants to take art again, so we signed her up for that one right away.  She loves her teacher.

And so ends another good day.  Madison closes her day out with a Rufio-Peter Pan battle of insults to Daddy.  It always starts with a polite, "Goodnight Stinky McPootysprinkles!"  And Daddy says, "Goodnight, Little Mrs. Armpit Breath."  It's all fun!
