Spring is on its way, but you wouldn't know this based on the temperature outside. It's getting chilly again, and Winter keeps coming back to the room as if in the middle of an argument, walking in saying, "And another thing...!"
The marriage of hot-to-cold-to-hot-to-cold temperatures with all these new allergies has been bad. Allergies haven't traditionally bothered Daddy much, but now these last two years, both he and Madison have had to combat the effects of allergies with various medications. Also, nice warm lunches are good for the soul: we were enjoying variations of the corned beef from yesterday, which has become almost as treasured a tradition as Thanksgiving leftovers!
Despite the chill, we were relaxed today, starting out quarter four of sixth grade, the last part of the year getting started with a new art class, and of course the continued other classes that Madison has been taking. She's been looking forward to this art class all year now, mainly because she's been in art club since the beginning of the school year.
Tonight we were watching more of the adventures of the Freemakers, looking for those crystals that do such wonderful things in the Star Wars universe, like make lightsabers and Death Stars. All three of us enjoy these episodes - there are a lot of fun references and humor in these. Emperor Palpatine is easily the most fun character here, getting laughs with great quotes that may show up again in a future Summer Xtreme skit, perhaps. We're writing some of these down...!
We continued with our Neverland story tonight, learning more about this mysterious Sword of Mercy, one with the power to access a large trunk of star stuff. Will the Others get access to it? As we read, we're finding out more and more who is after it, and who wants to save the world from those who are after it.
It's been good reading these, the girls demanding that we read one after another. Sadly, there is just one left after this book, and we're done. Although we may read the authors' other collaboration, a book Daddy has been anxious to re-read, one called "Science Fair."
We said our prayers tonight, and snuggled under our blankets, going to bed at a reasonable time tonight. We were still somewhat tired from the huge weekend, and it was good to catch some rest. It was a good day though, and a good start to the fourth quarter. The days are about to speed up as we get into the busy season of Easter, testings, and preparing for Summer Xtreme. Here we go - hold on tight!
