Big boy playground

June 26, 2014

Maxwell still loves the Tot Lot, but he’s been asking more and more to go to the “big boy” playground across the street.  It’s the playground of the elementary school and he’s finally getting big enough to really enjoy it.

One thing about the big boy playground – it’ll make you tired and thirsty!

The Beach again!

Second day, same as the first.

Healthy breakfast…

doughnuts

Beach fun…

We even buried Maxwell…

which gave Spencer an opportunity to declare his throne!

“Move big ole Spence!”

Spencer was also making me laugh blowing bubbles in this bucket…

That kid.

We played in the ocean, steering clear of the sting ray we saw!

and enjoyed the slightly overcast, not as hot weather!

We then hit up the pool again before going back to the condo in time for some lunch and to get packed up. We headed out early afternoon, but not before getting to do Maxwell’s and Spencer’s favorite thing one more time…

pushing the buttons on the elevator!

We weren’t 10 minutes down the road before Spencer looked like this…

and Maxwell (and me for that matter!) wasn’t far behind.  We made it back with no problems and are so glad we got away for a quick little vacation!

The Beach!

June 24, 2014

This past weekend we made a very quick trip to the beach and loved having a chance to stick our toes in the sand!  Robert’s great friend from college was going to be in town so we decided to drive down after work on Friday and stay through Sunday so they could have a chance to catch up.  It was actually totally do-able for a quick weekend trip!  On Friday, we fed the boys and got them in their pjs for the drive and headed out around 6:00…

They did great and were excited to wake up at the beach on Saturday morning!

We loaded up and hit the beach!  The boys loved it.

Both of them really wanted to be in the water the whole time, especially Spencer.

But there was plenty of fun to be had in the sand too…especially when you bring the water up!

(please look at Robert in the background lugging those two full buckets of water. We each did that a LOT!)

After a full morning of beach and pool, we had a great lunch at The Gulf…

and then, that night got to see Robert’s friend, Hunter, and his wife, Stacie. A full, fun day at the beach!  More pics tomorrow!

Infected

June 20, 2014

Maxwell has strep. BOO. He woke up Wednesday night saying his throat hurt and by Thursday morning I could hear the thickness in his voice.  He was feeling a little better on Thursday and still went to his swim lesson but then the doctor confirmed he was strep positive.  Yuck. We are now armed with amoxicillin and should have him feeling better in no time.

Waiting patiently at the doc even though he didn’t feel good…

His reward for the strep test…

He was pretty excited.  Especially when you add in the Dum Dum he got too!  🙂

and let’s just all cross our fingers that Spencer doesn’t catch it.  I mean, it’s not like they’ve been separated the past few days…

brothers

Here’s to a healthy weekend ahead!
