It was a Thursday, and the last one before Halloween, so why not go to Chick-Fil-A again. That's what we did today, as they were having their "Cowtoberfest" celebration tonight. Kids who dressed up in costume got free kids meals, but that wasn't all to the event. There were costumed characters going around greeting the kids, such as Anna and Elsa, Spider-Man, Cinderella, and even Captain America, who had the difficult job of making balloon animals for an endless line of kids.
We ran into friends from church there, and as you can see, Madison was wearing her new Evie costume, from the movie "Descendants." This was a great surprise moment for Madison, who earned the costume after doing all her homework and piano practice. The reward was a motivational tool, although she didn't know what reward she was going to get. When she saw the costume, she squealed - it was just the type of thing she wanted! Immediately, she put the costume on, and there she was the rest of the day, our little Evie.
We ate together, and picked up our calendars for next year as well. These are the calendars that have cards in them that give you monthly freebies. All in all, a nice visit as always.
We got home and went to bed shortly after that. Madison has had a few late nights recently, and has a few on the way the next couple days. We read our Bible, and we read "Descendants" again, and soon all was quiet in the house. Except for perhaps the television on the screen downstairs: Mommy and Daddy were watching "Ghostbusters II." It was during this movie that we discovered the next 'far-off' date to look forward to: February 14, 2016.
According to Elaine, a psychic, that's basically the end of the world. At least that's what she heard from an alien and a Holiday Inn in Paramus.
It's funny with these 1980's movies how far off years like 2016 was. Just like with "Back to the Future," and 2015, it was something we thought was so far off. And yet, here we are, right on the precipice of the end of the world! Somehow, I don't think there'll be as many "Ghostbusters 2" viewings on Valentine's Day. But you never know. We might...!
