Maddie plays with her bank for awhile and then decides she wants more candy.

Maddie and Ellie

Maddie had a playdate at her house with a few other kids. This is a picture of Maddie and her friend Ellie. Both of them got really messy during lunch but Ellie took a spill on the driveway and added some blood to the mix.

Railroad Museum

We took a trip with some other moms to the Railroad Museum in Springfield. Maddie had lots of fun playing in a real train and ringing the bell on the locomotive.

Maddie and Maylee read a book

Maddie and Maylee (our next door neighbor) love to play together. This day they both decided they wanted to sit on some chairs and read books.

Zoo trip

On Labor Day, we took a trip to the Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield. Maddie had lots of fun as she is fascinated by animals at the moment. She sat on a (fake!) tiger and fed a giraffe a cracker.
