Around here this week? More time at the park enjoying the beautiful weather…
more time on the iPad – with buddies!…
more drawing…
and more cuteness in his new “army man” pants!
Mostly? More waiting on #3! Come on baby!
Maxwell Van Gogh
While Spencer’s way into the iPad these days, Maxwell is way into drawing. He’ll spend 2 hours in the afternoon at the table with plain paper and his markers just making picture after picture. I love it.
I love how creative he is. I never tell him what to draw or how to draw it and I love seeing what he comes up with. Considering he’s not quite 4.5, I think they’re pretty darn good! Some of his recent masterpieces…
A tiger – of course. We’re still pretty obsessed with big cats around here and he draws a lot of tigers, lions, jaguars, etc…
Our house – notice the garage! – with all of us inside…
A construction site complete with orange cones at the bottom and “asphalt”. I love how the hard hats sit up above the worker’s heads!…
A picture of himself and Robert…this obviously made Robert ridiculously happy!
A belated Christmas scene – note the chimney with Santa at the top. I love how he ran out of room to write his name so just wrote the “well” on top of the “max!”…
An “army man” complete with a hunting gun shooting a deer! eek! Notice the red spot on the deer’s leg where he shot him! Not really sure where this idea came from since Robert isn’t a hunter but…it’s still good regardless! I do like the green and gray camo clothes…
Him riding his blue and orange bike, complete with orange helmet…
Dinosaurs around an exploding volcano! That’s a “long-neck-a-saurus”, a T-Rex, and a “tromp-a-saurus!”…
He had told me he wanted pictures of “big cats” for his room so I looked and looked all over Etsy to find some that would work. I did order some but then decided that his “big cats” are better than any picture I could buy so I just hung two of his. I think he was pretty proud to see his own artwork on the wall!
Love my little artist!
Sunshiny Day
That’s the best way to describe this past weekend – Sunshiny! hooray! After lots of rain and cold temps we finally had some bright skies and warmer weather. We took full advantage and hit up the playground…
as well as plenty of time spent in our own backyard. As I said on IG, sunshine that looks like a rainbow…
a welcome sight!
I even got it together and we had about 15 of the boys’ buddies and their siblings over yesterday (with their moms!) to play and have lunch. It was a great time and the perfect distraction from sitting around and waiting! 🙂 The rest of the week? Well, I guess we sit around and wait! 7 days and counting until due date! See you tomorrow!
Friday!!
TGIF! I kinda have nothing today…not much interesting to talk about at all. I did spend way too much time yesterday updating both of our iPads with new videos and apps for the boys.
Spencer has especially been into playing with the iPad lately (thank you cold weather and rainy afternoons)…
and I will say, it’s amazing to see how quickly his dexterity improves with some of the games. He can now play with ease a game he couldn’t do by himself less than a week ago.
His favorite app right now – that he’s playing above- is Monkey Preschool Lunchbox. I just downloaded a few new apps from this series so hopefully he’ll like those too!
Have a great weekend!
Iphone dump
It’s that time!
See you tomorrow!
