Spider-man Popsicle

 

We haven't seen the ice cream truck - or heard it - all summer long, until today!  And it was perfect timing.  We've been hankering for a Spider-man popsicle ever since we've seen one in the recent movies, and so we hailed the ice cream truck to make a quick stop for us.  There was only one Spider-man popsicle, and Maddie was pretty happy to get it!  I wound up getting some chocolate, and the two of us enjoyed a nice little frozen treat before going off to taekwondo.

The day started out with us heading over to the chiropractor for a pre-school adjustment.  The three of us enjoyed the usual appointment, goofing off with Doc Williams as always.  Maddie had a plush character on the rocking horse in front of the door as he walked in, putting her own sandals on the horse's feet just to make an impression when anyone walked into the door.  It was a nice visit as we talked about the recent storms - it seems he lost a chicken coup because of a tree falling.  Indeed, the journey down there to that part of Forsyth led us past many, many fallen trees.  No wonder all these roads were closed Thursday - it must have been a mess!

We went to see Nana afterwards, and it was all business.  We had gone to the grocery store beforehand and gotten her some oranges, grapes, English candies, and the green tea she likes.  We changed the sheets while Mom helped Nana wash up some.  Maddie did a Mad-lib again - this will be an unusual collection of Mad-libs this summer, with words collected from Nana, Mom, Maddie and myself.  The results are pretty funny - we may type one completed story here.

Mom and I were dong some grocery shopping while Maddie was doing some taekwondo tonight.  We ran into some old friends, and that was nice.  They're going to a church that has services on Sunday night, and that sounds nice too - we may drop in for a few services.  Mom used to go over to her house all the time, just visiting and talking for a while about anything really. 

Tonight's feature movie was "Dr. Doolittle," but not the newest version or even the old Rex Harrison movie either.  It was the Eddie Murphy one from a few years ago.  Quite a few years ago, they had this deal with cereal box tops where if you sent in three and picked a movie from a list on the back of the cereal box, they'd send you that DVD in the mail.  Well, we got a few of them, and of course we never actually watched the movies... until now.  Yes, many years later, I finally sat down to watch the movie I got in the mail from a cereal box top offer.  Anyway, it's a fun movie - the three of us liked it.

Afterwards, we were ready to turn in though.  We read, said our prayers, and got to sleep at a reasonable hour.  No getting up early tomorrow, so that's a good thing!
