The Battle of The Frog Prince

We filmed some more KidPak games today, and these were pretty messy!  But it's a lot of fun, and these online services are getting a good amount of views, so that's nice.  Madison gets home from church each Sunday and right away she's watching these online too.  She hooks up the headphones and sits there, laughing at the chaos and fun.  There are messages there too, of course.  She's been enjoying it all - and it's just great to have so many different services.  Plus reading each night - we were reading Matthew tonight again, and it was about John the Baptist, who pulled no punches.  He must have been an amazing speaker, so much anointing.  The camel hair thing is a little odd, but I'm not going to judge.  I don't think I could eat locusts.  Honey, sure.  Locusts?  Uh... no.

Part of the game today involved one contestant moving about with these upside down goggles, these goggles that made everything look upside down.  I brought them home for Madison to try, and she immediately said, "NOPE!"  Meaning, she wasn't going to keep those on much longer.  They come with some sort of game, so we'll have to maybe try that soon.

She brought home her latest art project from school, a picture of a red panda that she's been working on.  She used a grid to map out each portion of the animal - she says it is her favorite mammal.  The picture is looking great so far, and we'll share it here soon when it is done.

Of course, we had taekwondo tonight, which is a regular thing - although last night everyone had off for the holiday.  But we had that tonight, and it was great to see Madison sparring again.  She loves doing that, and it was funny to watch her up against a rather energetic partner that had a little less experience.  He came charging forward, thinking that would work again and again, only to be repelled by a foot-fist fiesta. Madison has a great kick, so high, and so quick.

We got home, and tonight we read from the Matthew as I said earlier, and we read from "Scoundrels" too, which is just getting going, but a pretty good book.  There are so many characters working together that there was potential to lose track of each one, but thus far we've got things figured out.

Tonight, Mom and I watched "The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin," which didn't exactly cover the "bullwhip" part, but was nevertheless a pretty fun movie!  There's a therapeutic sort of thing with these old Disney movies.  Sure they're corny and predictable, but there's a lot of fun in them, and the two of us enjoyed this one upstairs in bed with the laptop resting on a pillow there.  It was just old-school fun.

At bed time, the Battle of the Frog Prince continued, and I'll have to get a video of that song posted here, because it was heard loud again tonight as Madison put her head back on the pillow.  She was surprised to hear it again!  As I was getting the garbage cans out on the driveway after bed, she snuck the Frog Prince to a place under my pillow, and sure enough, when I put my head down on it... there he was shaking and singing again!  And down the hall... you could hear Madison laughing...
