Can you believe there are only two more weeks until the Fall Piano Recital? True story! We had piano class today, and Madison seems to be doing really well here, coming along nicely with her recital piece as well. It's a lot more difficult at points, with two fingers going at once and with different rhythms... let's just say it would take Daddy a long time to master this one. Madison will be playing this for everyone in the room in a few weeks, although next week she'll be playing it for the rest of the class. She's marching along with it though - there were easier choices to play, but she went with this one for the challenge.
LIFE
Since we talked about the Game of LIFE on Sunday at KidPak, we had to actually play the game today, so that's what we did. We set up the Pirates of the Caribbean version, and of course Madison won it in the end. Daddy didn't throw the game either. Madison was just a little more pirate than Daddy tonight, and sailed into the lead with some big treasure scores.
Lights
We made some reservations today for Callaway Gardens in a few weeks. It's on the way down to Florida, so we thought we'd spend the night there, and maybe check out their Christmas lights as well. Hopefully the weather will cooperate - it's been raining quite a bit lately. The hotel rates are quite reasonable, and when you throw in the fact that there's admission to the Gardens, some place we've never been to, it should be something new and interesting for us all.
Lice
The school nurse gave Madison the all-clear to keep going to class. These lice have been a serious nuisance all year, starting with week #1. All the students keep facing them, and early trips home - it's just a constant threat. Fortunately, Madison is doing well. She was a little nervous to begin with, but the nurse said it was all okay. Thanks go to Mommy for the shampoos, the lengthy checks, the combing through her hair. It's a real trial.
Lash
So tonight we read to Madison from her devotional, and from "The Isle of the Lost." She's really into that book, and will be for another week or so - it's a longer one. After that, Daddy wants to hit a few classics. We actually got a few abridged versions of "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn." Also, a copy of "Swiss Family Robinson." Those will be fun to read, particularly if we head back to the Magic Kingdom any time soon. So after reading and prayers, Mommy and Daddy were off to watch "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." for 'date night.' And yes, this is the episode where we learn who the character Lash is. We won't spoil it here, but Mommy and Daddy had suspected this earlier. Not to say we're terribly smart at predicting things on the show - it's quite unpredictable at times. But there you have it. Hindsight will be fun when reading this, and looking back upon an old episode of a television series. The 'right now' moment is that we were a bit surprised.
So there you have it: LIFE, Lights, Lice and Lash. Not a bad day at all!
