Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...

First day of school!

They both rocked it! What a great first day!

Not surprisingly, I had to wake Spencey up but they were all downstairs and ready in plenty of time…

Spencer just wanted to walk over with Maxwell so I didn’t go to the flagpole with them…and I so wish I had. 🙁

Thankfully, big brother took care of him and got him into the classroom. Phew. When I picked Spencer up at 2:00 he was all smiles!! Hooray!!

I think he had a GREAT day and even got a smiley in his notebook!

Maxwell was home an hour later and, from what I got out of him, had a fantastic day too. I think he was just so happy to be back with all of his friends all day. He and Spencer even both bought lunch – pizza!

Now we get to get up and do it all again tomorrow! Ready for a fun year!

What’s in your mouth Maxwell?

teeth

Or rather, what’s NOT in your mouth?!

teeth

No front teeth for this kid!!!

Cheeeeese!

Summer smile

Maxwell has a new smile this summer…

smile

a snaggletooth smile! That front tooth was loose for a while and then Spencer helped it along a little when he whacked Maxwell in the mouth with a pair of goggles. Robert tried to pull it twice but ultimately Maxwell was the one that yanked it out!

His other front tooth is loose too and might be out before school starts! Love that toothless smile!

Swimmers

Once swim lessons were over, Susan took the Bobbsey twins to the pool…

and Spencer passed the swim test and got his green band! Woohoo! He had to swim almost the entire length of the pool without stopping and then he had to tread water.

Go Spencey go!

New Bike

Since Maxwell just decided he knew how to ride a bike, we needed to get him one that actually fit him! We went up to Cahaba Cycle to check out the options and he took one for a spin around the parking lot…

It’s a 24 inch bike which seems big for him now but will grow with him until at least age 12. Despite it being big, Maxwell handled it with no problem! He was pretty excited (even though the bike isn’t red). Of course Samantha had no problem entertaining herself at the bike store! ha!

When we got home Maxwell was off and running…rather, off and cycling!!
