Injured

March 20, 2012

Not much to report today, except that I thought Maxwell broke his leg yesterday. He was climbing down the stairs outside while trying to pull his lawn mower down with him and managed to fall off the last step and land head first on the bricks. His head is pretty scraped up. I thought that was the worst of it but then we noticed that every time we put him down, he’d cry when he put any weight in his left leg. Poor, poor buddy. After considering a trip to the ER, we decided it’s probably just a sprain or twisted ankle. Hopefully he’ll be running around like normal today. As Robert said, this won’t be the last injury we deal with! I guess I have to get used to life with rambunctious boys!

Today, just a few pictures that were on my camera…

I love Maxwell checking out his reflection in the buffet…

Who is the good looking boy looking back at me?!

Maxwell loves to stand on his tip toes and look out the window. I think he was waiting for Robert to come home this day…

Love the sunshine on his face!

And finally, I think he kinda looks like he’s rocking out on his spatula guitar here…

No?

Cutest little rocker I’ve seen!

ps – like his fish shirt? I made it! Find out how here.

See you tomorrow!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

Weekend recap

March 19, 2012

What a great and jam-packed weekend we had!  What did we do?  Let’s let my iphone walk you through…

Saturday morning Robert went to work a Habitat for Humanity build so Maxwell and I hung out at home in our St. Patty’s Day green…

We then went to Target where he tried on some more silly hats…

After Target we stopped by the park.  Maxwell went across the shaky bridge all by himself…

Climbed up the ramp all by himself…

Swung on the newly restored tire swing…

Swung on the swings (of course)…

and played in the play house!

Phew!  All the playing made him hungry so we went home where Maxwell fed himself some yogurt…

Lovely.  side note – yes, those are mini corn dogs on his tray.  Actually they’re Morningstar Farms Veggie Corn Dogs and they’re really good.  Maxwell loves them.

Maxwell then went down for a nap and I got out in the yard and pulled weeds, weeds and more weeds in the beds. I was pulling LOTS of clover but never found any four-leafers!  Guess the luck of the Irish wasn’t on my side this St. Patrick’s Day!

When Maxwell woke up from his nap we had some special visitors…

Lulu and Granddaddy!  Maxwell loved all the attention as usual.

Maxwell took a liking to Lulu’s shiny jewelry and before he could say “earring” he was all decked out!

That evening, Robert, Maxwell and I went to dinner at a new Mexican place in downtown Birmingham.  El Barrio.  If you haven’t been yet – go.  It was SO good.  The only problem was that they only had 1 high chair in the whole restaurant (what?!) so we had to make do with a booster seat.  I was pretty nervous about Maxwell sitting in a booster seat for an entire meal but he did GREAT!  He sat at the head of the table and we all enjoyed every second of our dinner!  Maxwell clearly knew he was too cool for school in that booster seat!

After dinner, Robert and Maxwell proved once again that they’re the spitting image of each other!  🙂

The hand in the pocket just kills me.

The next day involved plenty more yard work.  Maxwell loved getting to play outside with us.

He was a big help “mowing” the lawn.

It was a hot March day too – check out those rosy cheeks!

Maxwell’s favorite part was watching Dad play with all of his power toys! (not sure that Robert would agree that he was “playing”!)

Bubbles were a close second though!

After our work outside was done, Maxwell did a little cleaning inside…again, so helpful.

Phew!  that was long!  Hope you had a great weekend too!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments

Balanced

March 16, 2012

No Friday Favorite again this week.  Instead, a little reminder for life…

It’s important to stay balanced.  Work, play – you have to keep it all in check!  I’m glad to see Maxwell is clearly taking some time to stay centered in the middle of his busy day.

I hope you all have a balanced and GREAT weekend!

ps – check out his new kicks!

Anchors Aweigh!

March 15, 2012

Anchors Aweigh, my boys!
Anchors Aweigh!
Farewell to foreign shores,
We sail at break of day ‘ay ‘ay ‘ay!

Do you know that song?  I only knew the first line…but it seemed appropriate with Maxwell’s adorable anchor sweater from Old Navy…

He’s ready to head for the shore!

ps – I totally thought it was Anchors Away until I googled it for this post!  duh.
