Dr. Grant and Company

This morning we were out there promoting our "At the Movies" series again, once more all dressed up as characters from movies - and a tub of popcorn.  I to to be Dr. Alan Grant this time, which went with the dinosaur theme that was a little stronger this week.  You can see two inflatable dinosaurs and then Daniel there with the baby dinosaur puppet once more.  The kids love that thing that Mom made, always running up to pet it or try and figure out how it works.  

It was a good morning at KidPak with a good message from "Spies in Disguise."  Next week we'll visit with "Raya and the Last Dragon," and then move on from this series.  But this has been a good break for us.  Maddie's Princess Leia outfit has been a hit.  It still fits, and that's great because she looks good with that, and it goes well with Camille, dressed as Rey.  Maddie has had a few people pose for pictures with just her, and yes, that's her real hair there.  She's wanting to get it cut before school and wants a particular style to it as well.  That said, she'll be heading to a stylist soon enough, a whole new world for me.  

Mom wasn't feeling well this afternoon, after we had lunch together, so we scratched our plans to go out.  But I went to Middle Zealand for a bit, walking on the treadmill there.  I chose today's destination based on all the Narnia that's going around here lately - we've been listening to the Radio Theater version of "The Magician's Nephew," and talking about messages from Narnia for KidPak.  We've talked of returning to that cafe in Buford, the one where you enter it through a wardrobe.  And tonight, we once again watched the movie, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."  Afterwards, we even watched a half-hour special about the props that had a visit with some of the actors of that same movie.  

All of this is in preparation for a Narnia series, which I'm all aboard on.  It's going to be fun to write all this.  I'm wanting to get a lamp post for the woods outside now too - wouldn't that be cool?  Pointless, but cool.

Anyway, we read tonight, and we said our prayers.  It was a restful, quiet afternoon, but it was a good and decent day.
