color week

August 29, 2016

Wow! What a fun weekend we had! Maxwell’s party was fantastic. It really could not have gone better and we had a very happy birthday boy! Today is Spencer and Samantha’s first day of school and Maxwell’s actual birthday is tomorrow…no slowing down this week!

Last week at school was color week and Maxwell had a certain color to wear each day. I, of course, used this as an excuse to continue to take a picture of him on the porch every morning. Wonder how much longer he’ll tolerate it?

Monday was red. This picture makes me laugh so hard. Spencer was doing some little dance and Maxwell was having none of it! ha!

Tuesday was yellow…

This shirt is a hand me down from Katie and Anna and it’s saved us on more than one “yellow day”!

Wednesday was blue…

Robert walked Maxwell to school that day and Baby was very sad she didn’t get to go…I mean, she had her purse ready and everything!

Thursday was orange…

and that’s the end of color week! Or so I thought! Friday afternoon I got an email from Mrs. Solai with a whole new list of colors for this week…guess that means an excuse for more porch pictures!!  🙂

School Shoes

August 25, 2016

New school year = new school shoes! I originally ordered Spencer a pair of Nike Air Max for an upcoming surprise trip (shhh!) because they have a thick sole and I thought they would give him an extra inch or two he needed to ride some rides…

They did! and he loves them! He feels pretty cool with his new “tie shoes”.

I liked them so much on Spencer that I ordered Maxwell some Nike Air Max of his own…

he really loves them!

I don’t like how they make him look like a teenager all of a sudden but…that’s life.

I also got them each a pair of blue Sauconys just like the red ones they’ve had the past few years.

Can’t go wrong with those.

Samantha’s a totally different story! Girls shoes are more fun – and more challenging! My sweet girl can’t just have two pair of tennis shoes and that’s it now, can she? Only problem is her chubby foot won’t fit in a lot of the shoes I tried on her! But, we ended up with some winners…

We kept the See Kai Run tennis shoes on her right foot…

the pink Livie and Luca mary janes on her right foot…

and then found these Cientas that are great (even if they do come with a fruity scent that I could do without! yes, the shoes smell fruity!)

Everyone’s feet are ready for school! Spencer and Samantha start Monday – off to new adventures!
