Madi-So’s Easter Adventure
When Madi-So was Isaiah’s age, we got her her Sheepy for Easter - a giant stuffed lamb that serves as both friend and pillow. It’s big - bigger than she was, at the time, and not much smaller than she is now! This Easter, we got Isaiah his Puppy:

I wanted to take Madi-So on an Easter Egg Hunt, but you have no idea how hard it is to find those ubiquitous multi-colored plastic Easter eggs here!! After thinking about it a bit, I decided to take her on an Adventure, instead! She loves Dora the Explorer, and I found out that they let you print Maps so that you can create your own! Awesome!! She also likes the Backyardigans, especially the Pirate episode, where they go for buried treasure - “X marks the spot!” So, while she took a nap, I made a map and hid her Easter goodies.

The first place we went was the “tangly vines” that grow over the front of our house. There, she found a drawing pad!

Next, was the sandbox, where treasure was buried under the x!

She loved digging it up! She got candy, gum, crayons and cookies!

Then, back to her tent for final pics!!

Of course, ten minutes later, she wanted to go on another adventure, and was greatly disappointed when I told her I didn’t have another one set up.

What have I started? It was lots of fun, though!!!
