On the day I stopped in at the church to witness the gigantic-chocolate-Easter-Egg-making-operation -- Maddie was visiting her Grandma (my sister Deena). She lives a couple of hours away, and was on Spring Break. Hey -- it seemed like a good idea at the time!!
But, after a long night of being the only child involved with this hard-working egg making crew of adults, the prospect of another day and night was no longer thrilling to Maddie. (don't worry, Deena -- it will remember better than it lived!)
 |
| Maddie DID have everybody's favorite new movie -- FROZEN....But Lilly was on her way to school... |
As we were getting ready to leave (I had both Warren and Lilly with me) -- Deena asked if I could take Maddie along. She could use a break.
 |
| NO PROBLEM. So, Maddie got in the car -- and asked if she could take a few pictures. I said sure -- and there were 30 selfies that looked something like this.... |
 |
| We took Lilly to school -- then Maddie went home with me. And NOBODY WAS MORE DELIGHTED THAN WARREN....She was terrific with him...he laughed and laughed. SUCH A GREAT BABYSITTER... |
 |
| Warren went down for his nap, and Maddie and I got busy making the Duff Tie Dye cake. This was one of the bonus items in the Hey Rita Tote when Rhonda returned it to me. MADDIE WAS DELIGHTED... |
 |
| The colors were so intense, the directions were precise -- and that cake turned out EXACTLY like the picture on the box! |
After we picked up Lilly at school -- the four of us went on to the Goodwill Store. Maddie had NEVER BEEN SHOPPING at the Goodwill Store. I loved listening to Lilly explain Goodwill Shopping. She said,
"here's how it works, Maddie. Anything you like, you put it in Grandma's cart -- because it's a possibility. At the end, you take everything out of the cart and line it up. Then you get to pick the ONE THING you really, really want the most -- and Grandma buys it for you. If you can't make up your mind, or pout about getting more -- Grandma will put everything back."
