New Star Wars Poster

This is the new Star Wars poster for the next movie, by the way!  You can see everything is appropriately labeled, and in keeping with the theme of the last poster, the big question is, "Where's Luke Skywalker?"

Yes, Madison likes to doodle a bit.  We'll share this awesome freehand drawing she did of the character Sadness in a bit.  She has doodles everywhere, along with folded paper creations.  Daddy has a few tiny Origami Yodas in his office, and of course the cootie catchers.  Those are everywhere, to the point that we have a tub to put them all in.

So Daddy did have to work today, but it wasn't for long.  We got some things done for tomorrow, and a little bit for the Fear message next week, too.  Madison was doing some work of her own, including her piano homework, and working on that devotional - she's only got a few entries to go, and then she's done!  We're proud of her for both, as she's diligent to get the job done in both cases.  She's got just a little piano to go left for tomorrow, but that's fine.  We've got a little time to get that done tomorrow.

Of course, tonight we saw "High School Musical 3" with Madison, and it was the main event.  It was better than we remembered, although Madison really liked it just as much as the others.  It's been a fun little stretch here, introducing her to these movies - and we have a few more on the way as well.  

Meanwhile, we have finished the Rush Revere book, and are moving on to "A Diary of a Wimpy Kid."  That's a fun, quick read - with more pictures than I thought it would.  But it is pretty funny, particularly the haunted house that Greg and Rowley set up in the basement, charging neighborhood kids $2.00 a person to go into.  

Next book, however, will be a return to the classics.  Mommy found a lot of these abridged versions of classic stories, and we'll dive into these once we've cleared the first Wimpy Kid book.  We'll have a little balance there.  Meanwhile, Madison reads a lot on her own too.  She reads those books, and then there are some books from "Ever After High," and one with "Equestria Girls" as well.  And yes, there's the "Monster High" books too.  Daddy will be reading some of those as well, but again, there's got to be some balance, and it feels great to introduce her to some classic stories, like the Mark Twain ones we were reading earlier.

Shepherd's pie.  Have you had any of this marvelous stuff?  Mommy made some for us tonight, and it just absolutely hit the spot.  Such a good and creative dinner!  

Today we were doing a bit more Disney Infinity 3.0, which is something Madison and Daddy are kind of addicted to lately.  We've been working on our farm, using loyal farmhands like Chernabog.  There are these little sidekicks that help your character out in battling, but then in farming too.  So you have this representation of Chernabog here, the ultimate in evil bad guys, a towering ginormous and dark monster.  And he's small with a garden hoe and a farm hat on with a picture of a churro.  I am not making that up.  Yes, Chernabog has been helping us farm lately, and our crops have been mighty and threatening and … well, pretty decent anyway.
