Beignets

Okay, so Fat Tuesday is coming up, and so after Team Edge this afternoon, we drove down to Cracker Barrel to get some beignets!  We had a coupon, and we had an appetite, so this made for a nice meal after Maddie's workout and practice this morning at the studio.  It was a pleasant meal, although service was really slow - the food was good, as were those beignets!

This morning Maddie had her practice at taekwondo, and she had a private lesson after that, training for the upcoming tournament that she'll be attending in a few weeks.  She's wanting to get her feet wet with the competition, just to try it out, and she'll certainly be a little more prepared now.  

Today is the first of March, and so we're ready for St. Patrick's Day season.  We've been listening to a few of our standard themed music selections, and tonight we even saw "Luck of the Irish," which features St. Patrick's Day and basketball, the other theme of this month right now at KidPak.  

It was a quiet day otherwise.  I got my walking finished, and the Revelation studies continue.  Maddie and I went back to LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, and that was fun for an hour or so.  Tonight in reading, Magrat defeated the Queen of the Elves, and that was pretty cool to see this meek character stand up against the villains.  We're nearly done with that story, and although we could move on to the next Discworld novel in this series, there's also the Kingdom Keepers to consider - there's a new book, and we've got it ordered.  A special signed copy is heading this way, this one now signed to me!  Pretty cool, huh?  We had the author sign the last one for Maddie, but this final book in the series will be hopefully signed to me.  Seems appropriate given that I picked up that first book so many years ago in Disney Springs... wow, that was a long time ago.  Anyway, we may start reading those books again next, just to catch up.  Meanwhile, let's finish up this one story from Lancre - the elves have to be completely defeated!

Okay, time for sleep.  Tomorrow is church, and it should be a good day!
