Easter fun

April 22, 2014

The Easter fun started last week when the boys got to go hunt eggs with Maxwell’s classmates…

Such a pretty afternoon!  I was also super impressed with Spencer climbing up this thing several times all by himself.  Pretty good when you consider he only started walking 3 months ago!

My favorite part of the day though was when Catherine’s mom was telling me that Catherine comes home from school every day talking about how she was kissing on Maxwell and that she looooves him! ha!  Looks like Lila might have some competition!  I asked Maxwell if Catherine (or Caferine as he says!) ever kisses on him and he said “well, not evvveerry day!”  ha!

The next morning I loaded up the car and my boys in the rain and we headed out to Atlanta…

road trip

where we met Robert at the BMW dealership! He had gone earlier that morning to get his new car! yay! We ended up getting to entertain ourselves for about 2 hours in the dealership which really wasn’t that bad at all.

Hey, we can have fun anywhere!  All 4 of us then got into one car and headed up, up, up the mountain to Highlands, NC!  Unfortunately, the rain followed us up the mountain and stuck around until Sunday morning.  Boo.

It didn’t bother Maxwell and Spencer though because they had Katie and Anna to play with inside!  To say that Maxwell adores those girls is an understatement.  And to say that they are very sweet, sweet girls for “entertaining” him all weekend is an understatement!  But, as Jenny said, “it’s nice to be adored!”  The kids had fun dying eggs…

We decided to color code them so they’d be easy to find Easter morning – Maxwell’s were orange (of course).

We took the boys to a local egg hunt that had been moved to inside the gym because of the rain.  Not exactly a challenging hunt but it was something to do.

The funniest was that Spencer kept going up and taking eggs right out of the Bunny’s basket!  Silly boy.

See you all tomorrow with some more pics of Easter day!

Springy!

April 21, 2014

Happy Monday!  Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!  We had a great weekend up in Highlands, NC with Robert’s side of the family.  Easter egg hunts, lemon lime pound cake, jelly beans…lots of fun.  Still catching up so today I’ve got more of those backyard pictures from Friday that I promised!

Happy Spencey!

He loves being outside.  Too bad he’s got terrible allergies.  These were taken before we started on Zyrtec and eye drops so hopefully he’ll never be this bad again!

Sweet Maxwell with a bouquet of weeds flowers for me!

So much goodness

April 18, 2014

Happy Good Friday!  The azaleas are in bloom, the pretty weather is here, and I’ve got the day off of work!  A good Friday indeed!  Last weekend, I really wanted to get some great pics of the boys in front of the azaleas when they were dressed up in their cute church clothes.  But, on Friday afternoon, the boys were playing outside in their matching Honey Bee Tees and I decided I should just seize my opportunity and grabbed my camera…man am I glad I did!  They look much more themselves in tees than church clothes anyway!  🙂

I could not love those two pictures more.  And these next ones crack me up – Spencer pointing and Maxwell examining that piece of bark…ha!

I think it was about here that I noticed Spencer was chewing on a rock…lovely.

And then I got this pout when I told Maxwell to stop digging in the bark.  Mean Momma.

These are definitely my new favorite pictures..even with Spencer’s poor red face and swollen allergy eyes.

It is a good Friday indeed.  Happy Easter to you all!

 

ps – I took a BUNCH of pictures that day so be prepared to see more soon!

Hippity Hoppity

April 17, 2014

We’ve been hopping down the bunny trail this week getting ready for Peter Cottontail!

Maxwell got to hunt eggs at church last weekend, at school yesterday, and even in the backyard on Tuesday thanks to Mrs. Susan!

He said, “Momma! I think I have ONE HUNDRED eggs!” For the record, he had 54!

We dyed some eggs too.  GJ had sent us these neat pastic dyeable eggs that I thought would be great…

but they weren’t.  They floated in the cups and, no matter how long we soaked them, couldn’t get anything better than a dull pastel color.

So, Maxwell and Mrs. Susan dyed some real ones the next day so he could have a real orange egg!

The boys had fun up at Bunny Tales at the library of course…

and Spencer even got to work in a visit to the big bunny himself.

We’re ready for the bunny to come Easter morning!

New Kicks!

April 15, 2014

We had a GORGEOUS spring weekend…practically summer weather actually.  It made me realize the boys could use some new summer shoes.  I took them up to Sikes first thing Saturday morning to get some new Keens. I really wanted to get red for both of them but they didn’t even have red as an option!  Hmph.  So, we walked away with these instead…

keens

Yes, orange.  Orange is his favorite color and these were the ones he wanted.

He’s REALLY proud of them and I think they’re great because I know how much he loves them. Spencey got these adorable multicolored ones…

keens

Spencer’s are a size 7 and Maxwell’s a size 10!  whoa!  He’s got canoes at the end of his legs!  🙂  Of course, we had to pick our clothes on Sunday based on what would match our new shoes!

Adorable.
