It's somewhat of a tradition of ours, after Mommy gives a zerbert to Madison. Obviously, it sounds like a big poot, and Madison yells out, "Daddy, you stink! You're a Pootzilla!" And adding, "You smell like a Stinkle in Time!"
We finished the book tonight, and it ends with a bit of a strong suggestion that there is another book after this one. And lo! We looked it up, and there is an entire series. Please don't judge us for not knowing that already. This is just one of those books we never bothered to read.
Anyway, the day was saved. I think. The Dark Thing is still out there, as it IT. I don't think this is the same IT as in the Stephen King books. That IT is a clown. This IT is a giant brain.
This to me wasn't terribly interesting. I think the author could have spiced things up a bit by making it Pinky, instead of the Brain:
MEGAN: "Charles Wallace! I know you're in there. Resist his power and come back to us!"
CHARLES WALLACE: "Narf!"
Anyway, that's our commentary on "A Wrinkle in Time" for now. Daddy thought it was good, and Madison enjoyed it. Mommy thought it was so-so. Daddy isn't exactly enthused about reading six more books like it, but is glad he did this one, as it has somewhat of a reputation. Also, it'll be interesting to see the movies now. We have the one, and old DVD from Disney some time ago. And then the new one will be out eventually and we'll be able to see that one as well.
Moving on! Tonight we went back to "The Lost World" again, visiting with our LEGO characters. We're set on getting more of these gold bricks and so forth, and doing a bit of exploring. Madison wanted to know if this character or that survived, so we may eventually get that movie as well. But as for now, she's anxious to watch the next one we have in our library, "Jurassic World," which we've actually only seen once at this point. Still, thanks to the LEGO bricks, she knows the basic story. Actually, you didn't even need that to know that dinosaurs are contained, and then they're not and they eat people. The end.
We had piano tonight, and Madison actually didn't get to play tonight. The other kids were doing their recital pieces, and there were so many adjustments being made for the ones that did get to do their recital that Madison never got to play. HOWEVER, she submitted a video of her performance, something we filmed earlier. It's a little rough. Okay, it's a lot rough. But it's getting there. It's not a complete stinkle.
It was an early night tonight: test tomorrow. But it was early for all of us. Daddy was tired too - it might be the cold weather or this pollen. Whatever it is, we all got to bed early tonight, getting a good night's rest, dreaming of pulsating brains, flying centaurs, and friendly furry tentacle creatures with no eyes.
