Our daughter is obsessed with making paper airplanes. We got her a booklet that shows her how to make all sorts of varieties of airplane, and she has set out to create one of each, and then some. She sits there watching television or during dinner or listening to a bedtime story, each time carefully folding an airplane. Our house is infested with airplanes. Instead of a trail of ants, you see paper airplanes in the corner, or on the table, or on furniture. Our kitchen table at one point looked like an air craft carrier! Anyway, we're just riding this one out - she's started out with origami, and this has progressed into this weird fascination with paper airplanes. Will she someday be an aerial engineer? Only time will tell!
So today there was piano class, which introduced us to quite a lot of fingerwork. Madison will be practicing pretty hard the next few days just to master this one tune. But we've got a nice reward for her on the way once she does - she's so incredibly close to completing her Jurassic World 'boardgame."
After dinner, we went to Cracker Barrel for the obligatory game of checkers - oh, and some food there too. Daddy is tinkering with his diet, as the dairy question is in the air. Yes, that's dairy air. (cue rim shot here)
But dinner was nice, although Daddy was immensely disappointed to NOT get to eat macaroni and cheese. What's up with that? Somewhere, there has GOT to be dairy-free mac and cheese. Please let there be!
We went to Goodwill shortly after that, with the goal of snagging some books. And wouldn't you know it? We found exactly what we were looking for! We wanted a book for a friend at KidPak, Mary Shannon, and we also found a Jack Sparrow book for Madison. But beyond that, we found uch more in the way of books, and even something else little for her for Christmas.
So we had a nice time while out. Tonight was DAY ONE, the premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., where we have all learned that fish oil pills have some bonus features not mentioned on the bottle. The series is off to a good start - Madison calls it, Daddy-Mommy Date Night. She goes off to sleep while Mommy and Daddy watch television together.
But of course we can't do that unless we do some reading first, right? First devotional time, and then a bit from the last Rush Revere Time Travel book, which is off to a good start. Madison likes these books, and Daddy's happy to see the time travel theme, along with a bit of learning from history.
It was gloomy and rainy today, which is the theme of the week. A hurricane is forming in the Atlantic, supposedly aimed at New York or Washington D.C. We'll see how that turns out over time, but we'll probably see more rain because of this. It's been a while since a hurricane made landfall here - I don't actually remember the last one, really.
We'll see how the week goes with rain. The Tower here might have to ground all the paper airplane flights due to bad weather!
