Dr. Seuss Costuming

You can see the Horton hat we got in the mail here, which is similar to the Lorax one that Daddy will probably be wearing on Sunday.  We made three t-shirts today, one for the Lorax, one for Horton, and one for Fox in Sox.  We used up the last of our iron-on transfer paper to make designs like this one here:

Daddy would make up the designs, and then we'd iron them on some t-shirts that we've ordered of the appropriate color.   Once you put the hat on, you've got a nice little costume, which you'll see when this Sunday comes.  We've got some nice looks for our characters.

Today the weather was really nice outside, wasn't it?  Of course it was.  But tomorrow is cold rain, and Sunday is really cold rain.  So we're enjoying it while it lasts.  In fact, there are rumblings about some amazingly cold weather coming next weekend.

But this weekend's weather seems to foil our plans to do a Chinese New Year celebration of sorts.  That said, we decided to stay indoors tomorrow - the event we were going to was outside.  Still, tonight we did a movie filmed in China, "The Karate Kid."  Madison hadn't seen it yet, but we all sat down together to watch it.  She liked it, of course, with a new appreciation because she's in martial arts herself, and quite competitive.  But the Chinese scenery was nice to see again, bringing us back to a time ten years ago now.  We'll be back, I believe.  I think Madison wants to return, in fact.

Daddy was working towards Summer Xtreme, towards this weekend, and even towards our newest series, "Romans" today - lots to do, and lots going on.  It can all get a bit overwhelming, but the best advice is just do one thing at a time and focus on doing that one thing well, and then the next.  At least until you're interrupted several times over by various other things that need to get done.  One thing lately is the influx of people interested in our material, which may increase even more exponentially as this year goes on.  It seems to be increasing quite a bit of late.  We'll see what comes of that, but until then, the plan is simple:  one day at a time.

Madison was practicing her piano some tonight, and sounding good with the songs she's been playing.  She is getting better and better with those tunes, as you'd expect from hearing her play them time and again.  But she's sticking to it, and that's good to see.  She's also making time to play around:  Daddy got home and she's working on some Minecraft project.  On top of that, she's watching some channels on social media that have videos of people doing various things on Minecraft.  She's still into that game, as well as the other stuff too.

Anyway, it's time to head to bed and do some reading.  Peter and the Starcatchers need some help with this Lord Ombra character!
