Clue

We played a game of Clue after school today, right after a quick snack.  With all this mystery going on, why not?  By the way, it was Mr. Green.  Madison loved playing this game and can't wait to do it again - Mommy got the right answer, by the way.  It was just in time so we could turn around and get ready to go to ballet.

While Madison was dancing, Mommy and Daddy were doing a bit of Christmas shopping.  We've got a lot done so far!

Tonight, we got home and did a lot of studying for a social studies test on the turn of the century here in America.  Talk about some great events in world history.  We were studying George Washington Carver, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and a few Presidents like McKinley and Roosevelt. There were cattle drives, General Custer, Ellis Island, Angel Island, Pittsburgh Steel, price incentives, The Spanish-American War, and railway barons.  Quite a bit of ground to cover, but Madison seems to have it all covered.

We went to bed, full of knowledge, and ready to hear a bit more from the devotional and from the latest Nancy Drew book.  We said our prayers together tonight.  Mommy and Daddy are still somewhat in shock of what happened at a Texas church yesterday, and how something like that could happen.  We prayed for those who are hurting, grateful for what we have, and who we have.

Afterwards, Mommy and Daddy had a bit of a cheese-fest.  Mommy got all kinds of the best cheese, and we were sampling them with crackers, all while watching...

We watched Stranger Things, finishing up season two.  We definitely liked season one better, but it's been a fun series that everyone seems to be watching lately.  This picture above only makes sense to those who have seen season one.

Tonight, we saw that, and we watched a Danny Kaye Christmas special, which was a whole lot of fun.  We found a lot of old Christmas specials this year, some we've never seen before.  It's going to be a fun season watching some of this classic programming.  We were laughing pretty hard at points during this one - it was great stuff, that old live programming where anything could happen.  Nat King Cole came out and sang his great Christmas song, and Mary Tyler Moore was there too.  It was a really fun show to watch, the first of many during this Christmas season.

Okay, it's time to get some sleep.  And to all a goodnight!
