Favorite gifts included his fireman boots, a talking Woody and Buzz, a leaf blower and some “doctor stuff” complete with white coat!

Robert and I then had one more big present for him!  What else did my fireman loving 3 year old need?  A firetruck of course!

firetruck

Oh yes we did!  This thing is huge!  It’s a two seater, battery powered firetruck.  Perfect for a Fireman Maxwell and his sidekick Spencer!

We had it sitting on the patio and turned on the siren.  Maxwell came outside with wide eyes and said “a big firetruck!!” and then RAN back inside to get FULLY outfitted in his fireman gear before coming over to actually check out the firetruck.  Sweet boy.

This thing has a working siren, a working radio and even a working hose on the back that you can put water in to squirt out (he doesn’t know you can do that yet!).

firetruck

He had a blast with it.  He’s still learning how to drive and steer at the same time but I’m sure he’ll be cruising up and down the driveway with no problem soon!

Fireman Maxwell on duty!  It was a GREAT day and the best way to ring in 3!!!!  Happy Birthday Maxwell!!

First Day of School!

August 28, 2013

A break in the birthday posts to tell you about two things.

1. Happy Birthday Susan!!!

susan bday

We tried to get a cute picture for you but…well, you know how that goes!  🙂  We love you SO much and are wishing you a fantastic year ahead full of everything good!!!

2. Monday was the first day of school for both boys!  Spencer is in the nursery with a new teacher, Miss Haley, and Maxwell is in the 2 year old class with Ms. Betsy.

Posing on the steps before heading out!

Oh, I could just eat these sweet boys up!

Maxwell all ready with his bag!

When I dropped Maxwell off at his room, he immediately found – what else? – a firetruck!

He was loving all the new toys in his classroom and didn’t mind me leaving him one bit!

My big boy!

Spencer wasn’t so happy about me leaving him…

first day of school

But I think that was mostly due to the fact that this was when he was supposed to be asleep for his morning nap!  Not to worry though, he got happy pretty quickly and had a great day.  When I walked back by the room after the parent meeting, I peeked in and saw this…

first day of school

See him back there just checking things out in that swing?  Here…let me zoom in for you!

first day of school

Oh, I love that baby.

Maxwell loved his first day.  He got to play on the playground THREE times for goodness sake! It doesn’t get much better than that to him!  Spencer’s day was good but he was a worn out little guy when I went to get him.  We were barely out of the parking lot and he looked like this…

first day of school

Aside from a bottle mix-up (they fed him someone else’s bottle of milk/formula?!! I was NOT happy) it all went great.  Here’s to a good year ahead!
