Monstrous Regiment



Tonight was a return to the Disc World for Mommy, Daddy and Madison.  We met up with a vampire, an Igorina, and of course DEATH.  We saw a production of "Monstrous Regiment," which we got tickets for some time ago with our season pass.


It was a decent play, and it's always good to be in Discworld, but it is in fact Daddy's least favorite story by Terry Pratchett.  That being said, it was decent - but there are so many other Terry Pratchett books that could have been better choices for a play.  Still, it was good to visit Discworld again, and we all had a great time out at the theater.


The Igor character may have been everyone's favorite.  Or, at least we learned right away that she's an Igorina.  Regardless of her gender, she was a fun character, as was the coffee-crazed vampire.  These sorts of characters are very popular on the Discworld, along with the Night Watch, and okay, a whole lot of others.  I can't wait for Madison to start getting into these books, but that's much later on.

The rest of the day was a bit of a blur.  Madison got a lot of her tests back today, including one she actually took today on some vocabulary words.  Daddy and she were practicing this morning, spelling and defining words like quadrangles and milligrams.  She got a perfect score on that, a 98 in math, and a 104 on her social studies test.  She's just cruisin' along!

Daddy was helping with the ONE Marriage Conference at church, taking cell phone pictures of happy couples, and also handing out Hershey kisses.  Madison and Mommy picked him up to go to the play, and together the three of us were off to the theater afterwards.

It was a good day, certainly a warmer one.  The trees are blooming, and the wildlife seems to be in on it:  spring might be on the way.  Weather people say it will be cold again soon, but we're loving it this week.
