A few things that got me tickled this week…

First, I tried on Samantha’s Easter dress and felt like she might need some sort of hat to go with it – you know, an Easter bonnet! So, I got this one and just started laughing when I put it on her…

Hello my little Amish baby! ha!

The bonnet was returned obviously!  🙂

Second, Susan took the boys to feed the ducks on Thursday. This video of Spencer makes me laugh because 1) he has plastic bags tied around his shoes because it was muddy, 2) he keeps saying “catch duckie!” and 3) he can’t resist eating some of the bread. Funny boy.

Third, just because it makes me smile, here’s another video of Spencer saying “Baby Manta”…

We’re glad it’s Friday for sure. Robert had to travel for work so I had all 3 kids by myself for the first time. We made it fine but are all happy to have Dad home. Now we’re ready for a restful weekend…

See you Monday!

Maxwell and Spencer are best buds and could not be more different. Maxwell is my little rule-follower, always wanting to please. Spencer is my little limit-pusher, stubborn to the max. Now, a lot of it is age…but plenty of it is just who they are. I love that they are so different yet still love each other to pieces. It also cracks me up how they treat their sister. They are both BEYOND sweet to her.

Maxwell just always wants to hold her and tell her how pretty she is and call her sweetheart…

Spencer wants to poke on her. “bee bee’s mouf.” Poke. “bee bee’s eyes.” Poke. “bee bee’s nose.” Poke. It’s really cute…and only slightly dangerous when he tries to poke her eyes!

Spencer also called her “bee bee Sam” the other day and it was basically the cutest thing ever…video below or click here.

Then I was putting him down for a nap last week and he kept yelling “ah-maaaan-ta” over and over and I couldn’t figure out what he was saying until I finally realized he was saying Samantha because he wanted to go give her a kiss goodbye!!  He’s since also referred to her as Bee Bee Manta.  Sweetness.

Other big news around here for Spencer’s talking – when we were in Naples, Spencer finally said “Maxwell” for the first time! He always calls Maxwell “Zsa Zsa” or “Zsa Zsee”…I have no idea where it came from but that’s ALL he’s ever called his brother. Well, in Naples, I was calling for Maxwell and Spencer repeated it after me and we all just fell out laughing! Maxwell was soooo excited too!  ha! Now, he’s not calling him Maxwell all the time yet…but it’s a start! Here’s a video if you can see it – if not, click here.

Love all the brotherly love in this house!

See you tomorrow!
