Official Uniform

September 2, 2014

Welcome back! Hope you all had a great long weekend. We had a fantastic one celebrating our new 4 year old!! Now to recap it all starting with his first big present from Susan on Thursday of last week. Susan knows how to make Maxwell happy, that’s for sure!  She brought over this giant orange present and he was about to burst having to wait to open it.

She finally agreed and he tore into it…

and found another box! Mrs. Susan’s tricky like that!  🙂

Then he finally got to the good stuff and what did he find?

Only the BEST and most official fireman uniform ever!!!

He has worn it every single day since and could not love it more.  Especially the whistle that came with it…let’s just say Momma could maybe stand to “accidentally lose” the whistle!  🙂

Maxwell nicely suggested that since he now has a “real” fireman uniform, Spencer could dress up in his old one. When Spencer realized big brother was letting him wear the red fireman coat, he almost burst he was so proud.  He couldn’t believe it honestly.  And now he’s had that red coat on every day since too!

Thank you for the awesome present, Mrs. Susan!

Like on his first, second and third birthdays, I would love for you to leave a comment and wish Maxwell a happy birthday.  If you enjoy reading about our adventures, just leave a little “happy 4th!” or maybe a “cheers to 4!” or whatever you like.   🙂

Face Painting

August 27, 2014

Last week we went back to Family Night at The Club and had a blast! They had a face painter there along with the kid DJ and both boys loved it. Maxwell couldn’t wait to get his face painted like an elephant!  The lady had to look up how to do an elephant but I’d say she did a great job!

Maxwell was super pleased!

Spencer just got a little something on his hand – their recommendation for the under 3 set…

The boys were loving it!

Robert and I were then able to eat a great meal (that I didn’t have to cook!) while the boys ran and danced all over the light-up dance floor.  A win win for all!

Even Robert got in on the dancing!

Good times!
