Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Color week – again!
Gray (or pink) Monday…
Brown Tuesday – and his birthday!…
Black and White Wednesday…
Purple Thursday…Maxwell didn’t have anything purple so Baby represented!
and ANY color Friday!
I think someone was a little more excited for Friday than the other two! 🙂
School days!
Hope you’re “hanging out” somewhere fun today!
We sure are!
Enjoy the day off! See you tomorrow!
Catching up on things around here the past week or so…
A huge thank you to Susan for the awesome birthday gifts! Captain America, Hulk, and Cinderella! 🙂
Another huge thank you to GJ for making the incredible Avenger masks! The Captain America and Wonder Woman masks were the party favors at Maxwell’s party. The Hulk will be used for Spencer’s part in October and the Wolverine and Iron Man were just for the boys. GJ’s the best!
We loved having all of our favorite people in town last week to celebrate Maxwell!
In other good news, Samantha’s teeth are still white!! Woohoo! After the unfortunate fall, I was really worried her front teeth were going to turn gray but, we’re past the 2 week mark and they are still white so we should be in the clear. We went back up to the dentist this week and he was able to get an x-ray and good look at them and said they looked great. Phew!
In other not so good news, Samantha’s second day of school did not go so well. 🙁 She was having plenty of fun with brother before we left…
and she looked awfully cute in her new red shoes…
but she just didn’t have a good day. She was crying when I left and the teacher said she was just very clingy to her all day and could never really get happy. She didn’t even eat her lunch! They were worried that she was maybe getting sick but, nope. She was fine by the time we got home. When I picked her up at school, she didn’t even smile when she saw me but actually started crying – it was almost as if she was just overwhelmed with everything and was so relieved to see me that she just couldn’t hold the tears in. Break. my. heart. Oh, sweet baby. I guess the only way to get her to like school is to keep going – so, we’ll be back next week and will be hoping for a better day.
That’s it around here. Have a wonderful long weekend!
Well, it was good to be Maxwell on Tuesday! He turned SIX and celebrated big! The day started with a giant cinnamon roll six…
He then headed off to school with awesome Captain America cookies (NOT made by me!) for his class…
Meanwhile, back at home, the Bobbsey Twins thoroughly enjoyed the cinnamon rolls and birthday decorations!
After school I got to hear all about how he got to be KING that day! He’s been waiting his turn and what better day to be king than on his birthday!
That night, we went to Cocina Superior (Maxwell’s choice!) and Robert had them sing to him. I would not say he really liked that! Not sure he could have sunk any lower in his seat…
Spencer thought it was awesome though! ha!
We then went home for cake…
and presents!!
We now have a stealth ninja in the house!!
And we’re all getting to take a fun trip to Legoland and Disney to celebrate our favorite 6 year old! Now that’s how you turn six!!
What a fun day! Happy Birthday Maxwell!
On Monday it was finally Spencer and Samantha’s turn to go to school! Spencer was ready, he had an ice cream date with his new class a few weeks ago so had met a few of the friends that will be in his class…
Well, I say he was ready but he sure wasn’t ready for photos that morning! Don’t they both look so excited?
Ha! Spencer finally perked up a little when I told him about his new green camo lunch box I got him for school!
Samantha didn’t know what was about to hit her but, gosh darn it, she looked cute in this little apple dress!
and her matching bloomers! 🙂
I could just eat her up.
Ta da!
When we got to school Spencer walked right on into Mrs. Rollins’ class, showed her his new lunch box, and took off playing not even saying bye to me! Good for him! I then walked Samantha over to her room to meet her new teacher Mrs. Laura. She was clinging pretty tight to me for a while.
I finally managed to get her off of me and was trying to get her interested in the toys…
then Mrs. Laura tried to make friends…
But, nope. Little Miss Skeptical was having none of it! ha!
Tootie. She finally found an Elmo doll that distracted her just enough for me to slip out. I think there were plenty of tears once she realized I was gone but Mrs. Laura assured me she didn’t cry for too long. Both she and Spencer sure were happy to see me at 1:00! I think they both had a GREAT first day!
Now let’s see what happens Wednesday when we go back and Samantha knows what’s about to happen! eek!
