We had our small group tonight again, and the third graders loved the message about "Descendants." Amazingly enough, they knew every word of the song "Rotten to the Core," which sort of opens up the whole musical. It was almost like a "Let it Go" moment, where all these kids were involuntarily singing a Disney song for three minutes!
But lessons were learned and there was much rejoicing. Again, Madison did not come tonight, as she has to get up pretty early in the morning for school. But there was a related bonus for her: Daddy got the soundtrack to "Descendants," and had it waiting in the car for her. On the way to school, we listened for a bit, and Madison was almost reverent in the back seat, listening to it and absorbing all the lyrics she could. I imagine this soundtrack will be playing for the next few weeks on the way to school. And other places too!
Personally, Daddy isn't a huge fan of "Rotten to the Core," but there are a few other songs on there that are somewhat catchy. It's not as solid as the soundtrack to "Lemonade Mouth" or the "High School Musical" movies, but it's something new and current and flashy. The costumes are probably going to be pretty popular for Halloween - just saying. I'm pretty sure if Madison had the option of being Mal, Maleficent's daughter, she would do that pretty quickly. She likes Mal's voice in the songs she sings, so I can already imagine we'll be playing that one song again and again.
Okay, so as for reading, we're facing a small dilemma. Basically, the next two books of the Jack Sparrow series are not at any of our libraries. Nor are they at the Hall County libraries. Not entirely sure what's up with that. So we're on a small break from Jack's adventures. But we'll pick up soon enough - no worries there, mate.
Until then, Madison is making her own book. She's got her version of Jack Sparrow on the cover, and she's written a bit on the inside, although I think it is more like a journal of his. It probably has the word 'savvy' written in it over and over again. That word was immortalized by Jack Sparrow, and I think I can say accurately that it is near impossible to say the word 'savvy' without thinking of Jack Sparrow. Savvy?
Anyway, today was a busy work day for Daddy. And Madison and Mommy did their usual routine with ballet and beyond. We met for a few brief moments on the ride home from ballet, and Mommy had a nice meal for Daddy when he got home. We all talked together, and Madison showed off her homework, which features a lot of multiplication and arrays.
Oh - we did get her school picture. I'll have to post that here in a bit, but it came out really nice. We generally like the ones they do in Spring better, but these are for the yearbooks, and they sort of all have to be of a certain look. So as far as that goes, these pictures turned out well. Madison is smiling much better, much more natural. It'll look nice in the yearbook, savvy?
