So I'm a little out of order, but that's they way I am. The kids Spring Break was the week following Easter and my niece, Maison, was here to enjoy it with us. It was still pretty chilly here in Chicagoland and we even had some snow. Here are a few pics of some of our outings over Spring Break.
While Maddi was at dance, Cade took Maison down to play in the basement. They were playing really well and they came up to show me that Maison was a princess. She was so proud and thought she looked so beautiful. Cade had helped her get dressed up like a princess. It was SO sweet. It should be noted that Cade would much rather have me put his clothes on him every day than dress himself so for him to help Maison get clothes on was a huge surprise. This was early on in Maison's visit when Cade enjoyed having a 2 year old around and was sweet to her and didn't argue with her all day!
We went to watch Horton Hears a Who. The kids enjoyed it and it was Maison's first movie at the theater. The movie wasn't great, but it had a good ending.
Maison's first taste of snow. She LOVED to EAT the snow. There wasn't a whole lot to play in so I guess that's why she was really only into eating it.
I think she ate as much grass as she did snow!
One night Cade and Maison enjoyed reading a story together. He let her look at the book with him but he would not share his pillow or blanket. She had to get her own. Even though Cade is 5 1/2 years old he still acts like a 2 year old at times. Cade had to learn a lot about 2 year olds and having another kid in the house who was "the baby". They enjoyed each other at times, but were very easily annoyed with each other a lot of the time.
They were playing airplane. Maddi was the pilot telling them to fasten their seatbelts, etc. They took turns being the pilot wearing the head phones. It was so fun to see the 3 of them play together. Maddi just loved having a little one around that she could mother and Maison loved having big kids to keep up with.
Cade was playing games on the computer which started the whole "airplane" game with the headphones. Playing games on the computer is one of Cade's favorite ways to "chill out". It was a fun Spring Break that went way too fast as usual. We all have such fun memories of Maison spending our Spring Break with us.
