Busy fun day

Thursday was a very busy day for Madeleine and I.  We were up and out the door early to get the car serviced in kirkland.  Our service coordinator was great... He put extra people on our car so it would be done early.  Then it was play time for Madeleine at kid's cove at Bellevue square.

Then it was time to go pick up Daddy for work and head out to Gran and Pappa's house.  Naptime happened enroute.

While we were waiting for Gran and Pappa to get home and Madeleine assured me she wasn't "tiwerred" we went to the park.

We walked around the lake at the park too.

Finger Painting Adventures

Madeleine received a whole collection of finger paints for her birthday.  I'd been waiting to use for a raining day and when she wouldn't be inclined to try and eat the paint. Today we finally tried them out.

You might be able to see some blue painters tape underneath all that paint.  I was inspired by a pin on my favorite idea source Pinterest.
