It’s been a long time since I cleaned off the iPhone. Enjoy!
Make it a great day!
We all scream!
As I mentioned yesterday, we took the kids to get ice cream on Saturday. Maxwell went for Superman with whipped cream on top…
Spencer wanted plain “banilla”…
But then he started complaining because he wanted to be able to lick it and, well, you can’t lick it if it’s in a bowl. Yea, we all felt like this about that…
Crazy Spencey. So, because I’m a sucker and wanted to avoid a melt down, we just ordered him another scoop of “banilla” on a cone this time. Happy camper.
Of course, that just allowed him to eat a little bit of both. Lick of ice cream here, bite of waffle cone bowl here.
Yea, he knew he made out good in that deal!
Meanwhile, Baby Mantha was just wondering where her ice cream was…
I told her she didn’t get any and she did not like that answer.
Not at all.
Poor baby Mantha.
So, because I already told you I’m a sucker, I gave her a tiny little taste of Spencer’s “banilla.” (He had plenty to share!)
That made her really happy!
In the end, everyone was happy…
and there was plenty of ice cream for everyone.
I scream…
You scream…
We all scream for ice cream!
Catching up
Happy Monday! So, the countdown is on around here! We’ve got 6 days until Maxwell’s birthday party, 13 days until his actual birthday and Samantha’s baptism, and 14 days until school starts! Lots of fun to look forward to! In the meantime around here…
We’ve had a few slightly cooler temps so have been enjoying the outside…
We’re all getting ready for a SUPER birthday party coming up this weekend…
On Saturday we hit up Lowe’s bright and early…
which always provides entertainment!
Then Maxwell worked hard helping Dad outside…
Spencer worked hard being the opposite of helpful…
and kept trying to touch all the power tools…
but at least he had his helmet on for safety! ha! It wasn’t all work though, they did play with their magic sand…
and then got to get ice cream as a treat!
We had a lazy Sunday and skipped church but Maxwell did get to go on a special date with Mrs. Susan to see The Sound of Music at the Alabama Theater!
Do re mi! A great weekend for all!
Water bomb!
Water balloon fun!
Watch out Spencey!
Bomb!
Enjoying the last days of summer!
Warmin up
First, happy birthday to Granddaddy Brown today! We hope it’s a GREAT day full of all good things!!! We love you!
Second, Soccer season is about to begin so gotta start warming up and getting ready for the games! Unfortunately, when it’s about 100 degrees at 4:00 in the afternoon, it doesn’t take long to “warm up” at all! Still, we all walked down to the field on Sunday to get a few kicks in…
Maxwell gets to have “Coach Dad” for another year and he did great getting back into it. He also kept complaining that if he didn’t get any water he was “going to die”. It was hot.
Spencer is actually a good little player too. Unfortunately, he’s going to have to wait another year to play. Maxwell’s games this year will be from 2:00 to 3:15 and Spencer’s games would be from 4:00 to 5:00. There’s just no way we can spend 3 hours every Sunday on the field. So, baby brother will have to hold off but that’s ok.
Samantha enjoyed it all from the hot stroller. Fun times. She better get used to it though! There’s going to be lots of weekends at the ball field in her future!
After they were all done with soccer, we headed over to the playground to sweat it out a bit more.
The sweaty sweaty sweaty days of summer are still here!
