Pepper Faces

This pepper is either very tired, or possibly very frightened of something.  I suspect it may be scared of the other pepper we found lurking in the kitchen, one that looks quite like a vampire pepper.

These peppers were some of the ones Mommy was cutting up today, all as a part of this wonderful salsa she made for dinner.  It had tomatoes from our garden, plus cilantro, peppers, onions, corn from Jaemor, beans, and even bits of pineapple as well.  We got the best chips we could, and thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful salsa at dinner time.  It was Taco Tuesday, so Mommy had tacos for Madison as well - we had quite a night at the table.

Madison had homework tonight, an ELA assignment that kept us away from the television.  Here we go with the school year, right?  She had to write about the five guests she would invite to a dinner party - any five guests - and write why she would invite them, and I think what they would be doing at the party as well.  I like the fact that she would invite Tom Holland to the dinner party.  

She had a good day at school, finishing up vocabulary for science, and I'm not entirely sure of the other events of the school day.  I was at work today, some place I haven't been to in a while - at the office.  We were there all day, and it was so great to be back again.  It feels like our starting up again is really going to happen this time, and that makes us all so glad.  I spent a good deal of time writing today, and getting things ready for a new series and everyone's return to KidPak.

Afterwards, we were at taekwondo again for regular classes.  These are the more populated classes, as everyone is continuing their journey towards their new ranking.  Madison's journey for the black belt is ongoing.  She''ll get a recommended belt in October, and then another testing happens in December.  Finally, her last test is in March.  But here we are already, moving forward to that new belt.  Gone will be the colors of the spectrum, as from this point on, it's nothing but degrees of black belt.  She's really enjoying it.

It was a good day today, but a busy one for me.  I'm back to work here, I think.  If I can stay awake... we said our prayers with Madison a bit ago, and she's trying to get to sleep early tonight, as she wants to get a shower in the morning.  She's setting the alarm a lot earlier in the morning.  Better her than me!  We said our goodnights, and threw plush animals at each other.  We also read tonight, of course, and said our prayers.  We'll all sleep well tonight!
