Dragons Dreams & Daring Deeds


This is a bit of artwork Madison made on the computer today - she was using an interesting little program that let you make shapes, and then color them in.  The wording at the top suggested the topic to draw, so Madison created what you see entirely on her own.  And then she printed it out as a gift for us - this dragon appears to be upset at something.  I wouldn't recommend getting it any angrier.

Also on the computer, she fooled around with another program to move around Disney Universe characters on different environments with different props.  This reminds me of the colorforms we had as children.  Here, take a look:


Jack Sparrow has captured a star, Madison told us.  He's grabbed hold of one - and the rest of the story is up to our imagination.  The theme of the day was art:  Mommy got for Madison some dinosaur stamps from Fernbank, and just today gave them to her as a surprise.  For a good part of the afternoon, Madison was spending time creating her own prehistoric dramas on the kitchen table.  Take a look!





It was "Jurassic Park" at our house today!  Daddy had to work, of course, setting things up for tomorrow.  The strep throat is getting better, although we did not go to the Dragon Boat Festival this morning.  Hopefully tomorrow we'll make up for that.

Daddy's bright spot was seeing everyone drop by the office.  Madison wore her crown today, still ever the fashionista.


She went to bed early tonight - right after dinner in fact.  Although dinner was actually later this evening than usual.  Mommy made the crust and served up some more chicken pot pies.  Madison was pretty ready for bed tonight, and we're glad to get her in early, as tomorrow is a big day.  Also, we were eager to pop in "Back to the Future Part Two."  Still can't believe we're only two years away from hoverboards, flying cars and sleep inducing alpha rhythm generators!
