We had a game of Clue tonight, and this time Madison figured out it was Mrs. Peacock in the Lounge with a Lead Pipe. It took a bit of running around the house, and a few calculated risks and careful deductions, but Madison always points out Sherlock Holmes' advice: "Don't just see, but observe!" It's funny that she can quote Sherlock Holmes. We had that soundtrack playing as we were sitting there playing. The version we have was purchased back in 1999, and it is in this collector's tin with little official pencils and pewter figures and weapons, and neat pads and envelopes. It's a fancy anniversary addition of some sort, so whenever we're playing, it's not some ordinary game of Clue. No sir! This is the deluxe version for opulent folks like ourselves!
Daddy did a bit of work today, and while that was going on Madison was practicing piano, but also painting rocks too.
She got this kit with suggested patterns and everything, so this afternoon she made a few painted rocks, spending a good deal of time with them. They turned out well! The other thing we were working on is the Rubik's cube. We've both figured out the first layer rather easily, and surprisingly, the cross on the third layer is simple. It's that second layer we need a bit more practice on. Daddy and Madison both have these cubes, and we're sitting there watching various Rubik's cube videos on social media, trying to teach ourselves the basics of solving a Rubik's cube. Maybe this is one of our goals for 2019. For now, the goal at the moment is layer two. We're not quite there yet, but one layer at a time!
We slept in today, as last night was a later night. Thanks to Mommy, we had a nice breakfast too. Daddy was off to work after that. Nana and Ye-Ye came by with carnations for Madison and Mommy, wishing us all a happy Valentine's Day. It was a great holiday, one with lots of wonderful stories and thought. We were all quite happy with it!
Today was more of a relaxing day, considering that yesterday was a bit more busy. Daddy got us pizzas on the way home, including a gluten-free pizza from the grocery store. For he and Madison, we had Little Caesar's pizza, mainly because we wanted the box for a skit tomorrow morning at KidPak. The service there wasn't ideal, and the pizza wasn't that great either. But at least we have the pizza box, which will make for a fun little moment tomorrow. Pizza, pizza! It wasn't bad, but it's not like any of us will be clamoring to go back and get some more of that pizza, even if it is right across the street from the church. The surprising thing is how inexpensive it is, which I guess goes back to the old notion of "you get what you pay for." It was okay. But it was kind of nice, all three of us eating pizza Daddy picked up on the way home. So many families do that sort of thing more often, and it was nice to give Mommy a break from cooking, if only for a bit.
After eating our pizza, we were off to bed tonight a little earlier. Tomorrow is an earlier morning, with a big second "Romans" service. Lots of characters will be here, and it will be a lot of excitement and learning and fun. Can't wait!
