Leader of the Week

March 13, 2018

Maxwell is leader of the week in his class this week! I got to go read some of his favorite books to the class and Maxwell picked If I Built a House, If I Built a Car, and The Chupacabra Ate the Candelabra. All three were a hit! I then got to have lunch with him where the conversations are always interesting….and Maxwell basically ignores me but I know he’s actually really glad I’m there. 🙂

Yesterday he took the poster he made about himself to school. He did a fantastic job as always!

Being a Tiger Scout, Maxwell got to participate in the Pinewood Derby for his troop.

He and Robert worked hard on the car – Maxwell painted every bit of it! He even free-handed that Alabama A on top and the numbers on the side!

We went to the derby on Tuesday night and it was great! They have a fancy digital track and it really was fun for the whole family. There were some pretty impressive looking cars too! The boys were pretty proud when they got their car weighed – it has to be 5 oz or less and Maxwell’s car “The Crimson Tide” weighed in at exactly 5 oz! Score!

After dinner and plenty of goofing around by the scouts, the races started.

Even more excited when he won his second heat!

He lost his third heat – but pretty funny that he lost it to The Auburn Attacker! ha!

Everyone had fun and behaved so nicely – especially these two…

When it came time for awards, wouldn’t you know it – Maxwell won first place for the Tiger Scouts! Woohoo!!

The Lake

March 6, 2018

Over President’s Day weekend, my friend nicely invited me and the kids to go to her lake house. Another friend and her kids joined and we had quite the crew – 3 moms and 8 kids! None of us were quite sure how it was going to go but, thanks to some beautiful weather and kids that got along GREAT, it turned out to be the BEST weekend! The lake is still low so they have this great beach area which was perfect for digging, building dams, and getting really dirty!
