The landscapers finally finished with our updates yesterday.  Hooray!  Love the new shrubs and all the annual color around.  My favorite part?  The peonies!!  Peonies are my very favorite (along with tulips), as is evidenced by my wedding bouquet…

I’m so excited to have beautiful, hot pink peonies growing in my very own yard!

They are GORGEOUS and make me so happy!

In other news, someone woke up with a great case of bed-head…

and later got himself into a little predicament!

Yes, he did this all on his own!  Silly boy.

See you tomorrow!

What a day we had yesterday!  This house has been like Grand Central Station the past few weeks and yesterday was no exception.  We are finishing up some landscaping and should have it all done today.  After that, no more workers!!  Thank goodness!  I don’t know how I would be managing all of it without Supernanny Susan’s help.  She does SO much more around here than just care for and love Maxwell completely.  Three BIG cheers for Susan!

Just have some more cute pics of my little dude to share…

The dimples get me every time…

Now, this is TALENT.  Toes in mouth.  Can you do that?  Didn’t think so.  TALENT.

Have a lovely Tuesday!

First, I hope you all got a good laugh out of the April Fool’s joke on Friday.  I really put up the post to fool my mom, aka GJ.  I have quite the history of fooling her every year and she continually falls for whatever I cook up.  This year was no exception!  I got her good!  GJ – thanks for being such a good sport!  You make the holiday fun!  🙂

This weekend, Robert and I turned up our doing dials!  🙂  We had GORGEOUS weather to work outside and we got so much done.  Robert did all kinds of yard work and I planted all kinds of flowers in our planters.  I think I mentioned before, but we’ve been doing some work on the exterior of our house – repainting, replacing rotten wood, etc.  The painters and contractors should finally (hopefully!) be out of here by mid-week and I am so ready to have the project finished!  We’re going to do a little more landscaping and then all of our major projects should be behind us.  Hooray!  We are ready to have everything looking good!

Some pics of my planters and pots…

Lots of herbs!  Can’t wait to pick that basil…Yum!

Front porch…

Maxwell enjoyed the pretty weather with walks in the stroller and swinging in the Tot Lot.  He also thoroughly enjoyed some carrots on Saturday…

Sweet, messy boy.  I could eat him up!

We are all very happy that spring has sprung!

Earlier this week I had a few things to finish up in the yard so Maxwell came outside to “help” me.

Not surprisingly, he wasn’t much help. He was a good supervisor though…

Momma, you missed a weed over there…

and you really need to pick up the leaves over there…

and…Hey! where are you going? I didn’t say it was break time yet!

Oh Maxwell…something tells me this won’t be the last time you boss me around! 🙂 As long as you’re this cute, I’ll take orders from you any day (maybe)!

Food update – Maxwell’s love of orange foods continues! Carrots are a hit!
