Happy Monday! We went to the dentist last week and all 3 kids got great checkups!

I was super proud of all of them. There was no fussing, no complaining, no issues at all!

The movies on the ceiling help!

The dentist said Spencer’s injured tooth is still looking good and not loose at all. Yay! He said Samantha really should think about getting rid of her paci soon. Eek! He also said Maxwell probably won’t lose his first tooth for another 6 months or so (much to Maxwell’s dismay!).

Overall a great report! We love good dentist reports!

Summer nights

Just soaking up the last bit of summer…

Nothing better than ice cream on a summer night!

Still hulking out

Even though it’s been almost a year since Spencer’s smash-tastic Hulk birthday party, he still loves the Hulk! His Hulk t-shirts are his favorite to wear…

he’s pretty good at drawing Hulk…

as well as “the human of Hulk”…

and the costume is in constant rotation (closely followed by Darth Vader!).

Hulk seems to fit him as he has his own version of “Hulk Smash!” that he likes to use on his brother all the time! ha!

I sure do love my little Hulk-lovin boy!

Summer camps

We’re in the home stretch of summer! Only two weeks left until school starts. While I think we’ll all benefit from a little more routine, it’s really been a great summer – just the right mix free time and activities. I signed the kids up for a few camps and I think all of them were hits. At the beginning of the summer, Maxwell did basketball camp at Samford and Spencer and Samantha did Apple at their school…

Maxwell liked basketball camp fine. I think it was a little overwhelming for him so we’ll see if we do it again. The others had fun at Apple and Samantha got to do carpool for the first time! 🙂

The boys then did VBS. I can’t say they loved it…but they were with all of their friends and had plenty of fun.

Watching their end of the week performance was funny…Spence was up in front doing his thing while Maxwell was almost completely behind the podium by the time it was over! ha!

Maxwell then did flag football camp which he thought was awesome! I was afraid he was going to melt out there on that field every day but, thanks to some inside gym time and Gatorade, he did just fine.

Spencer and Samantha did another week at Apple and it was water week so that made it extra fun. Maxwell also got to take a water gun to flag football.

Finally, just last week, Maxwell did baseball camp at Samford. By far and away his favorite camp this summer! Being out on that hot field didn’t bother him one bit! He LOVED it!

I loved seeing him all geared up each day. He’s growing up so fast and I just love the kid he’s becoming. I mean, how cool does he look?!

Mix all of these camps with a few fun trips and the adventures with Mrs. Susan and it adds up to one fantastic summer! Let’s see what all we can pack into these last two weeks!

Loose Goose!

There are some geese that live on a pond sorta, kinda, but not really very close to our house. One day about two weeks ago we had been driving home from Target and saw a bunch of them in the median of the street. Later that day we went outside and one of those geese had made it’s way all the way to our house! So random!

Samantha didn’t want that goose anywhere near her! I don’t blame her!
