Mother’s Day Treats

My three made all kinds of cute treats for me this Mother’s Day!

Maxwell made me the prettiest bunch of flowers ever, wrote a nice little note, and drew my portrait!

Samantha proudly gave me a potted flower in a pot she painted!

I got to go to school with Spencey for Muffins with Mom and see my awesome portrait and other art projects…

And then Susan helped all three make these awesome stones for the backyard! Love them!

Ha! that picture seemed fitting because I think we somehow end up at Target every single time we’re with GJ! Isn’t that what grandmothers are for? Toys at Target? 🙂

This one is a little cuter…

How did we get so lucky? Happy Mother’s Day to our 3 very favorites!!! We love you!

My favorite dress

This little pink dress was one of my favorites when I was little. It was smocked by GJ, of course, and pretty sure it was her favorite too!

I was a little older when I wore it because it used to be longer. Then I got it caught in the wheel of my BigWheel and ripped the fabric along the hem. Despite the torn hem, GJ saved it and, all these years later, was able to hem it up much shorter to cover the tear…and now it’s the perfect length for my perfect 3 year old!

I don’t think she could look cuter if she tried!

Happy Thursday!

Spectators

Of course, I have to recognize the very best spectators of the baseball season! Spencer and Samantha were troopers going to all of Maxwell’s games and, often, practices too. Maxwell was a good helper at all of Spencer’s games.

They were there in good weather…

and bad!

Thankfully they had some friends to play with at many of the games.

Spencer loved to go “climb the mountain” at Maxwell’s games and did that just about every week. He rarely actually watched Maxwell’s game! Samantha wanted to climb the  mountain as well but after I had to go get her off the mountain once, I told her you had to be 5 years old to climb the mountain from now on! ha! After that she tended to hang with me in the stands and play with any toys that she brought.

Of course, I think they mostly liked going to Maxwell’s games because they knew they’d get an Icee! Whatever it takes!

As crazy as it was, I’m going to miss these days at the ball park this summer!

Pretty sure they’re just going to miss the Icees!  🙂

Go Red Sox!

Not only did Maxwell have a great baseball season, but Spencer had a great t-ball season as well! He loved it and would get so excited for every practice and every game. He’s a good hitter off that T and has an excellent arm! T-ball is awesome – everyone wins! Can’t beat that! Again, I took my camera to two of the games and got some fun photos…

Spencer had a bad habit of throwing the bat after he hit and this time it just about hit Maxwell in the head! See it flying towards unsuspecting Maxwell back there? ha!
