A busy week

This week started off with her first time at a Track Out Camp...Science Camp! When I picked her up Monday, I'm surprised her face didn't hurt from smiling!!! But more on that later.

Monday afternoon, Madison got her costume for her dance recital in May. She's going to make one cute little orphan Annie.

Two Adorable Annie's!!!

Now back to science camp. She absolutely LOVED science camp. They must have kept them super busy during the day. In the evening, she could barely make it to 7pm!

At the conclusion of the week there were a few pictures sent home. Her face is priceless!!!

The thought was to take it easy over the weekend, but that quickly changed. It wasn't a SUPER busy weekend, but busy enough. Acting Saturday morning and then big plans Saturday night. Madison thought we were going letterboxing but instead we went to a drive-in movie to see HOME.

She had no idea and was completely surprised!!!

It continued to rain most of the day on Sunday, Best spent inside. A quick trip to the roller skating rink before calling it a Spring Break!!!

First Week of Spring Break

"What was the best part of your weekend?" I asked Madison as we are leaving Northern Virginia.

"All of it!!!"

Spring Break track out has been chocked full and we're only finished with the first week!

Nana and Papa came in last Sunday to watch Madison for the first few day of her break. From baking cookies to train rides, they stayed pretty busy.

I Love Chocolate Chips!!!

Riding the train

A trip to the zoo with her neighborhood friends on Wednesday gave Nana and Papa time to rest up for the weekend.

Madison's trip started Thursday morning with Nana & Papa. Jeff and I made the trip that evening.

We're on our way!!!

Friday was a bit of a free day giving the cousins time to play without a lot of others around.

Reading and hanging out

Making an early lunch

No trip to Target is complete w/o an ICEE

There was still lots to do for the party but with so little time over the weekend to squeeze in a visit with Uncle Gregg and Uncle Andy. My little social butterfly spent time with old friends and met a new friend, Quinn.

Uncle Andy's Pizzas were good but LOVE the cupcakes

While we were out visiting Uncle Gregg, friends of the Fairfax Station Sanford's snuck in with their two children, Ella and Evan. Excited to meet new friends, Madison was the first to wake on Saturday.

Our day began quickly and was full of activities before the party at 2pm. The children were very good at helping with the set up.

2pm...Party Time!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARKER!!!!

--------------- Happy Easter!!! ----------------------

And the fun continued on Sunday, Easter Sunday and Parker's real birthday. The Easter Bunny came for his visit while the children were at church. He left beautiful baskets FULL of goodies. Eggs dotted the lawn and kept the children busy for only a moment. The best part was checking out what was in each and every egg!
