A quick trip to Walmart can produce a lot of fun when you bring home one of these things to play with in the yard!
Don’t worry Spencey, you’ll get to play in it soon enough!
Summatime!
Weekend recap
We had a great Father’s Day weekend and were so happy to get to do some fun stuff with Dad! On Friday we went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Maxwell has started calling it a “mexaurant” which I think is awesome. We go to a mexaurant pretty much every Friday night!
Saturday morning we hit up the Pepper Place Farmer’s Market…
and we even saw our friend Jack there! fun!
That afternoon we did a little swimming…
and Maxwell loved having Dad at the pool with us. He’s way more fun than Momma when it comes to pool tricks!
On Sunday Robert got some fun little Father’s Day gifts including a birdhouse painted by Maxwell himself! We found the perfect spot in the tree…
and Maxwell was pretty proud…even if he did think bugs were flying into his ears!
Looks perfect! Now we just need to see if a bird is going to come make it’s home there! 🙂
Hope you all had a good weekend too!
Father’s Day
You know who I think are pretty awesome? These guys…
Daddy (aka Daddo but will always be Daddy to me)…
and Dad (aka Robert to me…and sometimes to Maxwell too!)…
I’m pretty darn glad that Maxwell, Spencer and I have them both in our life!
Also sending lots of love today to Granddaddy in Searcy and Granddad in Montgomery! Happy Father’s Day!
Week in review
As much fun as we had in Florida last week, we have sure enjoyed being home this week!
We had dinner with friends…
Cake pops for breakfast…
Played with Dad…
Watched the boob tube (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Doc McStuffins and Jake and the Neverland Pirates are current tv faves)…
Beat the heat with some friends at Steel City Pops…
and with some water balloons in the back yard!
Crack is whack, ya’ll! 🙂
This little guy has been pretty cheery this week despite a SECOND TOOTH breaking through!
Overall, we’ve just been happy to be home – very happy!! 🙂
Have a great weekend and see you next week!
Dinner with Mickey
After a full morning in the Magic Kingdom, we headed back to the hotel for lunch and “nap”. Spencer finally fell asleep but Maxwell never did. He rested though…and played on the ipad!…and then wandered the hotel with GJ while Spencer slept. Back in the room we also realized that Spencer had totally gotten sunburned that morning. I felt SO BAD. We were expecting a totally rainy day and I just didn’t prepare with sunscreen. Poor, red chubby legs, arms and cheeks!
I won’t let it happen again Spencey! I promise!
That night, we headed over to The Contemporary for dinner at Chef Mickey’s! Normally Chef Mickey’s books up months in advance but GJ was checking for reservations daily the two weeks leading up to our trip. On the day before we left, she was able to get us in for dinner at 6:20! Too perfect!
We got to The Contemporary a little early so went into the gift shop and came out with these…
Did I already mention GJ’s a sucker? yea, Momma’s a sucker too! 🙂
They had a caricature artist in the lobby so I though, why not?!
He did a great job and turned my boys into Woody and Buzz! Can’t wait to hang this in Maxwell’s room.
We then headed into dinner and got to see all of our favorites!
Once again, Maxwell liked all of them from afar but wasn’t quite so sure about them all up close. Spencer couldn’t get enough of them. He didn’t get scared at all and tried to grab each of them! 🙂
The one character that Maxwell actually liked up close was Minnie! I think it’s because she was really only about my height…or maybe he’s just got a thing for the ladies! 🙂
By the time we got back to our room that night, everyone was wiped out.
We got up early the next morning and headed to the airport to fly home and see this guy!
yay! I have to brag on both boys for just a second. All things considered, Maxwell was so well behaved and such a good, agreeable Disney visitor. Spencer was just unbelievable. I don’t know how I got such a happy, easy baby but I’m not questioning it! I’ll definitely be taking these two little dudes back to see Mickey again!
For now, bye bye and….
See ya real soon!
