Chun Li on Stage

Madison joined us on the stage in the main sanctuary this morning, and pretty much the online community of the world as well because this was being live-streamed.  We were promoting KidPak, and the upcoming Fall Festival as well, and so we had a little skit written out to have some fun on stage.

Madison and the other characters came out, interrupting Pastor Lance each time he wanted to share something about the upcoming events, and it was all done for comedic effect of course.  It was fun and simple, but then again, anything done upstairs for the main service in front of thousands of people tends to get a bit complicated and convoluted.  But it all worked out well, going well and getting a lot of laughter too.

We raced downstairs, and Madison was a beautiful sight after the second time, racing with a sense of urgency, all so she could get to class and hear the message this morning at KidPak.  That's right - she raced from upstairs straight downstairs and across to the other side of the building, getting changed and getting to the KidPak auditorium just in time to hear the message there.

It was a relaxing day afterwards, and the clock is winding down somewhat on October, but we got in a few more fun things.  For one, we were watching "Hocus Pocus" on our screens.  We had the option of going to the theater down in Discover Mills to see it, but that was a bit too much of a drive, and besides, we could stay at home and do things like carve more pumpkins, which is what Daddy did.

This is Hades, based on an idea I saw online.  It turned out great - I was using my official tools that Mommy got me, feeling like a professional, or at least a member of royalty.  It's a nice little kit I've got, one of my favorite gifts ever for my birthday, because it's just right for carving with.  This is my first carving where I never actually puncture the surface of the pumpkin with the carving portion.  The top is obviously open and the pumpkin hollowed out of course.  Anyway, it turned out pretty good!

Tonight, we played a few rounds of "Escape from the Haunted Mansion," with Mommy winning, and then Madison too.  It's still  fun game, actually.

We had soup for dinner tonight, perfect for this kind of weather.  We read at bedtime, and the mystery of the old attic is still perplexing - whodunnit?  Will Mr. March get his son's music sheets?  Will the culprits be caught?  We'll be finishing this book this week some time, I'm sure.

It was a good day today, with a great service and a nice, relaxing afternoon afterwards.  October is waning, but it's been good!
