50's Day

Today was the 50th day of school again, and as such, all the kids - and teachers - get to dress up in their favorite 50's attire.  You can see Madison above, along with some others from another class.  Daddy was on hand to take pictures of the kids that participated.  It was nice - they play 50's music outside as kids come in, and it's somewhat of an educational moment.  I've never seen so many poodle skirts in my life!

And you may be wondering about this costume...

This week, the KidPak kids are asked to submit a picture of themselves in disguise - and reading our devotional.  Then they'll get the next clue, and see whodunit, or at least who didn't do it.  Madison was read the clue this evening.  Daddy also read the devotional entry for this evening, along with another two chapters of Nancy Drew.  It looks like Antin might have something to do with these exploding oranges.  If that sentence makes any sense to you, then you know which Nancy Drew story we're reading.  It's one with a mansion, and a visit to the Space Center as well.  Madison is enjoying this one.

It was a good day today - we had piano class for Madison.  Daddy has been writing new devotional entries based on "A Christmas Carol."  I'm not entirely ready for the Christmas season to start yet, as it is still October.  But I did need to get a head start on the next book.  So we were writing that a little today.

Nana and Ba-Ba were with Mommy, out shopping at Goodwill.  Mommy got some things for herself, and a few items for Daddy and Madison too.  They had a good time, shopping around.  As always, it's more about the time spent together.  It was nice.

Tonight before bed, we had dinner, and then went back to the Sanctum of Slime for a few rounds of ghost busting.  Madison is into the whole idea of Ghostbusters now, so we might be doing some of those movies soon.

Anyway, it's time for bed.  Something was all over the top of our house last night, or perhaps on the windows or something - it was 3am, and it was annoying.  We're a little tired today, so we might be hitting the bed earlier.  Besides, tomorrow is a big day with the Fall Festival going on.  It's going to be a great night!
