Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Maxwell is taking chess up at school on Monday mornings this year. He’s only had a few classes but is already loving it! He even got his own chess set and t-shirt to wear to every class. Our last two nights around here have looked like this…
and this…
Smarty pants! I’m so glad Robert knows how to play because I have no idea. Checkers is more my speed! You gotta watch out for Spence though…last night we found the two extra queens stuck in his garbage truck. 😉
I sadly had to miss Maxwell’s first soccer game, but nothing was going to keep me from his second game! On Sunday afternoon we headed out to the drizzly, muggy soccer field with the whole fam in tow! Maxwell and Coach Brown started working on some drills…
while I did my best to entertain Samantha and Spencey on the sidelines! Not the easiest task considering Spencey really wanted to be out on the field with Maxwell. We made it thanks to plenty of gummies! ha!
Baby Mantha was a good cheerleader. I had the go-pod for her…
But she only lasted in that about 5 minutes. Luckily I took the carrier with me so she was happy to hang out there and get a good view of the game.
It got most interesting when Spencey decided he also needed to be held at the same time for the last quarter of the game. Oh my aching back! But, it was all worth it to see Maxwell hustling out on that field!
I loved when he got to kick off from center field too!
Whenever Maxwell wasn’t in the game, Spencer would stand on the sidelines and yell “I want Max-cell!!” ha!
Please note he’s got even more gummies on the arm of his chair! Gummy monster.
Maxwell played great. He got after the ball and scored THREE GOALS!! Go Maxwell go!
Most importantly, he had fun!
When the game was over, Spencer finally got his turn kicking the ball into the goal.
Which then turned into this….
Oh Spencey….you keep things adventurous!
It was a fantastic game 2 and we’re so proud of our super soccer star!
I think I’m going to start saying thank goodness it’s Monday! Why not? It’s the start of another week that I get to spend with my adorable babies.
I mean…how can you dread Monday when you get to see this little face?
How can you have a bad day when you get to squeeze on these chubby legs?
There’s no way to not enjoy Monday when you get to spend it with these funny little people!
So, TGIM! Now, wave bye-bye…
Have a great week!
TGIF! Lots of iPhone goodness for you on this happy Friday….
Make it a great weekend!
One of the Sesame Street skits that sticks in my head is Ernie singing to Cookie Monster about baking a cake….
If I knew you were comin’ I’d’ve baked a cake,
baked a cake, baked a cake!
If I knew you were comin’ I’d’ve baked a cake,
Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do!
We’re more like Cookie Monster around here so no cake for us, but plenty of cookies!
Yum!
