We're getting ready for our new series, "No Fear" next month, where many of our characters are dressed up for the Fall Festival at the end of the month. They've chosen to dress up as characters from "The Wizard of Oz," but on their way, their van breaks down. SO, that leaves them coming to call on the nearest house, a spooky old mansion with mysteries inside.
It's going to be a lot of fun - and a lot of work - but one of the funny things we found with some costumes was a Dorothy outfit that was Madison's size. We couldn't resist temptation: we gave it to her and she wanted to dress up as Dorothy right away.
In the spirit of things, we also decided to use our down time this afternoon to watch "The Wizard of Oz," which was a nice relaxing afternoon. Madison enjoyed the movie, and so did we. It looks really good on our larger television, and they've done an incredible job restoring it. One thing that we didn't really see coming was having to explain why part of the movie is in black and white. Can you believe that Madison hasn't seen a black and white movie yet? That will change this upcoming weekend though.
The morning's service wrapped up our Miracles series, where Madison got to see the story of a mute and deaf man healed.
JESUS: "Ephphatha!"
LANCE: "Bless you."
JESUS: "Thanks."
This series was simply incredible - it was educational, but it also spoke to spirits and hearts. Last week's message about the Easter story was very moving, and many children responded, touched by the love of our Father. This week was somewhat of a bonus week (the fifth weekend in the series), so Daddy returned to an earlier miracle, which our full cast did a marvelous job with. The day was a great success, and the series was one of our best.
This afternoon, after the movie, it was time for dinner and piano practice. The piano practice is rather repetitious, but that's a good thing: Madison is getting better and better. One tune in particular she can play with her eyes closed! That's "Fiddler, Fiddler." The thing about these tunes is that they get stuck in your head. First thing in the morning, you're singing "Clap Your Hands" or "The Royal March of the Lions" to yourself, and you can't stop!
Afterwards, Madison's request was "Lego Indiana Jones 2." Yep, we're still on that one too. Daddy is waiting to get anymore video games until Christmas or so, because we have so many it's simply impossible to get them all done! We're pretty blessed in that department. Still, there is a new Lego game out, and a new Disney one by Christmas - both of these look like a lot of fun for the two of us. These two-player games are a whole lot of fun together!
Before bedtime, we actually watched another episode of Scooby Doo, the one where we first meet Miner Forty-Niner. These are quick twenty-minute episodes, nice and short things to watch before bedtime, as you're enjoying your milk!
