My silly boys being silly outside in the spring weather.
Luckily, sometimes that silliness pays off and I get fantastic pictures like this one…
which I think looks even better in black and white and will be framed in my den soon!
See you tomorrow!
More Easter fun
On Easter morning we had a bundle of bedheads all excited to head upstairs and see what the bunny brought!
But, we had to make them first take a pic on the stairs where Spencer tried to swipe Katie’s glasses!
We did end up with a cute one though…
We made it upstairs to find out that the Easter Bunny did indeed find us in the mountains! Hooray! He left quite a “super” group of gifts for the boys too – a Superman tshirt, some Superhero pi’s, some Superman and Batman books and even a reversible Superman/Batman cape! (rumor has it that the Bunny emailed GJ and Susu to get a little help in making the SUPER capes!). The boys loved it all!
And we all loved the sunshine that finally decided to come out on Easter day! Hooray! We went outside and let everyone run some energy out!
After a good meal and plenty of good conversation, Robert and I loaded up our little superheroes and headed back to Birmingham.
As much fun as we had in the mountains, it was good to be home. Robert and I tucked out tired selves into bed that night knowing we were being safely guarded by two snoring superheroes…
Hope you all had a Happy Easter!
Easter fun
The Easter fun started last week when the boys got to go hunt eggs with Maxwell’s classmates…
Such a pretty afternoon! I was also super impressed with Spencer climbing up this thing several times all by himself. Pretty good when you consider he only started walking 3 months ago!
My favorite part of the day though was when Catherine’s mom was telling me that Catherine comes home from school every day talking about how she was kissing on Maxwell and that she looooves him! ha! Looks like Lila might have some competition! I asked Maxwell if Catherine (or Caferine as he says!) ever kisses on him and he said “well, not evvveerry day!” ha!
The next morning I loaded up the car and my boys in the rain and we headed out to Atlanta…
where we met Robert at the BMW dealership! He had gone earlier that morning to get his new car! yay! We ended up getting to entertain ourselves for about 2 hours in the dealership which really wasn’t that bad at all.
Hey, we can have fun anywhere! All 4 of us then got into one car and headed up, up, up the mountain to Highlands, NC! Unfortunately, the rain followed us up the mountain and stuck around until Sunday morning. Boo.
It didn’t bother Maxwell and Spencer though because they had Katie and Anna to play with inside! To say that Maxwell adores those girls is an understatement. And to say that they are very sweet, sweet girls for “entertaining” him all weekend is an understatement! But, as Jenny said, “it’s nice to be adored!” The kids had fun dying eggs…
We decided to color code them so they’d be easy to find Easter morning – Maxwell’s were orange (of course).
We took the boys to a local egg hunt that had been moved to inside the gym because of the rain. Not exactly a challenging hunt but it was something to do.
The funniest was that Spencer kept going up and taking eggs right out of the Bunny’s basket! Silly boy.
See you all tomorrow with some more pics of Easter day!
Springy!
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! We had a great weekend up in Highlands, NC with Robert’s side of the family. Easter egg hunts, lemon lime pound cake, jelly beans…lots of fun. Still catching up so today I’ve got more of those backyard pictures from Friday that I promised!
Happy Spencey!
He loves being outside. Too bad he’s got terrible allergies. These were taken before we started on Zyrtec and eye drops so hopefully he’ll never be this bad again!
Sweet Maxwell with a bouquet of weeds flowers for me!
What a lucky Momma am I?!
So much goodness
Happy Good Friday! The azaleas are in bloom, the pretty weather is here, and I’ve got the day off of work! A good Friday indeed! Last weekend, I really wanted to get some great pics of the boys in front of the azaleas when they were dressed up in their cute church clothes. But, on Friday afternoon, the boys were playing outside in their matching Honey Bee Tees and I decided I should just seize my opportunity and grabbed my camera…man am I glad I did! They look much more themselves in tees than church clothes anyway! 🙂
I could not love those two pictures more. And these next ones crack me up – Spencer pointing and Maxwell examining that piece of bark…ha!
I think it was about here that I noticed Spencer was chewing on a rock…lovely.
And then I got this pout when I told Maxwell to stop digging in the bark. Mean Momma.
These are definitely my new favorite pictures..even with Spencer’s poor red face and swollen allergy eyes.
It is a good Friday indeed. Happy Easter to you all!
ps – I took a BUNCH of pictures that day so be prepared to see more soon!
