Springfield Community Play Day

Springfield recently hosted its annual Community Play Day at a local park. It was a lot of fun and Maddie got to do some crafts, play in sand and water, and climb on some blocks. We also headed over to the playground area after we ate our picnic lunch.

Getting dressed

Maddie has become a pro at getting dressed all by herself over the past few months. She can put on her shirt, pants, socks, and shoes. However, she sometimes puts her shoes on the wrong feet or pants on backwards as shown in these pictures. We are so proud of her though!

Maddie plants her "garden"

Today was a beautiful day for Maddie to plant her "garden" in a dirt patch on the side of our house. I gave her some extra seeds, water, and her gardening tools and she went to town.

Maddie likes to shave like Daddy

We bought Maddie a shaving kit for the bath. She loves to watch Daddy shave and wanted to try it too. I don't know why she decided to shave her chest, though..Daddy definitely does not do that!

Another Easter egg hunt

The Saturday before Easter we went to another Easter egg hunt. This one was inside and had lots of fun stuff to do. Maddie got a balloon animal, petted some baby chickens, and looked for eggs.

Coloring Easter eggs

This is the first Easter that we attempted to let Maddie color Easter eggs. She did such a good job and was very careful with the color cups and the eggs.

Easter egg hunt

We went to our town's annual Easter egg hunt the other weekend. It was a lot of fun (although a little cool for April around here). Maddie had fun with the other neighborhood kids collecting her eggs and opening them to get the candy. She also found eggs with coupons for a free Subway kids meal and a marshmallow Easter bunny. What a fun time!
