I introduced Madi to the wonderful snack of pickles, cheese and crackers. Aunt Shelle and I ate those all the time growing up!
Madi's Girl Scout leader dropped off a huge bag of fun things for her to do and earn badges. These were all activities they were going to do together as a troop but this is the next best thing.
Baking cupcakes for Penny a girl in her troop!
Madi won't eat cake but she enjoyed baking and decorating them.
On Friday April 10th, we celebrated Grandpa Mayberry's 72nd birthday with a steak dinner!
Madi's friend Rylee surprised her with a note outside and 10 hidden Easter eggs out front.
Madi had fun finding all the hidden eggs!
Madi made a face mask from a bandanna in her Girl Scout badge bag!
Then she made the pizza . . .
Ms. Sarah has been such a good troop leader and her bag of badges helped keep Madi entertained during quarantine!
Easter was different this year for sure. We still hid eggs for our girl though before watching the church service.
She was a little tired but still found all 41 eggs in record time!
There were also 2 scavenger hunts left for her with fun gifts at the end!
Playing around with the make-up kit she got from the Easter bunny.
Madi said she wanted to do a theme night . . . so we had a Frozen II night on Monday.
We watched Frozen II on Disney + and picked our favorite pint of ice cream to enjoy!
I love when Madi braids my hair.
Being silly . . .
Friday, April 17th, Madi woke up to a sweet welcoming message from NCL!
NCL is a national charity league that Madi and I joined. I'm thankful they had space for her age group and that we were able to join.
We meet monthly and volunteer throughout the year! Can't wait to get started!
Tie-dying shirts for fun!
Facetiming with the Dodson cousins . . .
Unique way to curl her hair . . .
Cutting some of my old sundresses to make swim suit cover ups for summer!
On Sunday, we headed to Lake Alan Henry to go out on the boat with the cousins. But first we had to play with Tuck's new toy.
Beauty on the boat!
Happy hour via Zoom with the Foleys on Tuesday night. We talked for over two hours!
Bianca dropped of a gift on our door step earlier that day for Matt to open while on Zoom.
Adam made this face mask for Matt using his 3D printer!
Hilarious!
The cousins came to stay with us since Cody's grandma passed away on Saturday. I asked Tuck if he was comfortable like this . . .
We got a game of Dixit in before they headed to the viewing.
Madi and I making a fun Mama Mia video . . .
Heading out to ride her bike around the neighborhood . . .
Amy bought us all these cute Lubbock shirts and dropped them off on our porches. We wore them to our weekly Site Coordinator meeting so we had to take a picture together after our meeting ended. :-)
Friday night in the hammock . . . the puppies love having her outside with them.
Quarantine purchase . . .
We have one happy little girl!
Madi has been into making smoothies lately. Here's her latest attempt . . .
We are definitely adapting to our new normal. Hope it's not for too much longer though!
