So today was playgroup at Annabelle's house. Jen hosted a very nice Easter Egg decorating and Easter Egg hunt playgroup. Maddy had such a blast. She loved coloring eggs and we will definitely be doing that this week! I will buy some tonight while at coffee night. She was great about not making a mess and really didn't need any help whatsoever. She didn't even get any on her clothes either! I was really impressed. She had a lot of fun on the Easter Egg hunt, too. It's nice now that she's getting older she plays by herself so much more independently that I don't need to run around behind her helping her. I can chit chat more with the other moms while just keeping an eye on her instead. It was great for both of us to get out!
Of course, we practiced before we went. I gathered up some eggs I've stuffed for our own Easter Egg hunt downstairs and emptied the majority of them. Then I locked Maddy in the bathroom (honestly, I did. But she knew something special was coming, so she didn't mind) while I laid out about 9-12 eggs. She came out and I handed her the basket and told her to go to town. I did leave about three pieces of dove chocolate in a few of the eggs since she can't collect all the eggs and not get anything! On top of that, I wanted her to be excited to get eggs at Jen's house. So she knew what would be in them.
The girl loves Tortilla chips. She just chowed down while at Jen's. She passed up cookies, crackers, cheese, even girl scout cookies and went straight for the tostitos. She's a girl after my own heart! I allowed her to have one piece of chocolate after we came back in and then I gave her another couple of pieces on the way home (it's a drive so I wanted to keep her awake so she'd nap for me today--which she is now).
Maddy was up at 8 today! I couldn't believe it! She was up at 5 for a few minutes but after a couple minutes of snuggles and a diaper change she was ready to go right back to sleep.
Tonight is coffee night. I am really excited for it. I get to see a friend I haven't seen in quite a while. I may venture out to Walmart quick before hand to see if I can find a couple of things I failed to pick up at Walmart when Maddy and I went. I also want to stop and look at Target's swimsuits. It's not that I actually want to try them on... but around here, you need to buy early otherwise they are all picked over. So I may try them on anyway given I leave the house early enough for both things before I am meeting my friend.
Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I picked up two cute skirts/skorts (skirts all the way around with shorts underneath) at Walmart for summer. One is khaki and the other is jean. Very cute. Then we went grocery shopping and I even splurged on some sushi for myself for lunch. YUM! I put together a three bean casserole and froze the majority of it and the rest is for dinner tomorrow!I love being done with making dinner a day early. :)
Ok, off to make some lists for this evening.
Tea of the day: RoT Holiday Spice blend and then I took a double Green tea with Raspberry with me to playgroup in a travel mug.
