It was a quieter Saturday than recent ones, the decision based on the fact that there weren't as many events out there right now, and we're coming up on a busy season soon enough, one filled with festivals, apple picking, and all sorts of fall activities. Besides, today we had a bit of shopping to do for costumes and props for our new series, "Toy Box." We went out to Goodwill, and even checked the Disney Store. No luck at all with the Disney Store, which seemed to be a bit more crowded than usual. Goodwill, however, had some items that Mommy can use for costuming. On our way back home from the trip out there, we also made another stop at Walmart, in order to pick up a few things, including a copy of "Descendants 3" and some popcorn.
The movie premiered last Friday, but we were simultaneously watching the two-hour season finale of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", so we decided to pick up this movie and watch it later, given the fact that we were probably going to buy it anyway. So tonight, Madison was excited to see the last of the Descendants movies, and this one wasn't bad. She said she still likes the first one the best, and we'll have to listen to this soundtrack a few more times to see where that stacks up with the previous two. This has been a big part of Madison's life since 2015 when the first movie came out. Each October, she's dressed up as Mal, Evie and Uma. We've had the soundtracks memorized. We've watched the animated shorts, and everything else related. We've had our own stage productions involving these characters at KidPak. And it all wrapped up with tonight's viewing. It was bittersweet in many ways, a happy ending mixed in with all kinds of goodbyes. It was somewhat of an event in our house, a big moment!
Earlier today, Madison was doing homework of different sorts. She's been working on an autobiography, at least the first chapter. It is all about her first memories, and one of the first things she can remember at this point is dressing up in African clothing and attending a KidPak service, which would have been for our series, "Pridelands." I'll ask her if we can post what she's written here, but she shared about a scary memory - her first nights in this new house, with her room so far away from our bedroom. This might be why she'd always get up first thing in the morning and run to our room to sleep in our bed next to us. She also wrote about her "cute" memories, one of them being her first lost tooth, and the visit from the "tooth fairy." She put the "tooth fairy" in quotation marks, because ... well, I guess she'll have to explain that one.
Madison did some practice on her piano for quite some time too, this being done while Daddy was taking some ginormous Buzz Lightyear wings over to the church. You'll have to see these - they're huge. They don't fit in the car. I literally drove eleven miles with wings hanging out either side of the car with the windows down. To infinity and beyond, indeed!
Madison finished chapter one, and we proofed it once - she'll be ready for Monday morning when it is "turned in." We read from "Dark Force Rising" tonight, and said our prayers once more. It was a nice day today, starting out with everyone sleeping in, and ending with a part three of one of the last of the big Disney Channel movie specials.
