School’s in session!

August 25, 2014

Happy Monday! Today is the first day of school! While it definitely does not feel like back to school fall weather (it feels like 103 degrees to be exact), we’re ready nonetheless. We’ve got our new red shoes, and now we’ve got back to school haircuts!

Maxwell got his cut a week ago Thursday. Robert took him and he came home kind of looking like Justin Bieber circa 2010…

Rockin that front swoosh! Don’t worry, once it was brushed out, it looks just fine and is a great cut.

Spencer was supposed to go that day too but ended up “busting his whole mouf open” that afternoon so we postponed his a week. He got his cut on Friday and came out with a little Bieber of his own…

Cute boys, cute haircuts…and a little drool for good measure.

Alright school, we’re ready!

Cheers!

As I mentioned last week, Lulu had a birthday on the 4th. Well, today is Granddad’s birthday! It’s a special one this year – both turn 70! As a fun treat, Robert drove down to Montgomery on Saturday night and the 3 Brown kids took their parents out to dinner, just the 5 of them.

To Lulu and Grandad, we have one thing to say to 70…

After our Firetruck fun, we all attempted a nice lunch together with the kids…

While the food was nice, let’s just say we didn’t pick the most kid-friendly option in town! But, we survived.

Maxwell’s favorite part of lunch was getting to see sweet, baby Evelyn! He was so excited to see the little, bitty baby and it made me really excited for him to be a big brother again! 🙂

We spent the rest of the weekend just enjoying being in the mountains…

And we especially loved getting to hang out with Lulu and Granddaddy! Even better that we got to give Lulu a special birthday hug while we were there!! Happy Birthday Lulu!!!

We went up to Highlands, NC this past weekend for the annual Firetruck Weekend! Each year for a Saturday in August, the local volunteer fire department pulls out all of their trucks – and some other, antique ones too – for everyone to come climb on, sit in and check out. They even give people rides around town ON TOP of a firetruck! So fun! I have no idea what the liability is for that but I just climbed that 12 foot ladder and didn’t think about it! 🙂 Needless to say, our firetruck loving boys were in heaven!

The best part was that Robert’s great friend, Patrick, was there with his family. He has a little boy, Henry, who is just 2.5 months younger than Maxwell so they had a fun time playing together.

Soon enough it was time to climb on to the top of the truck!

We got to sit right behind the lights and the siren and Maxwell was like the king of the castle sitting on top of that truck waving to everyone in town as we drove around!
