Boys and their toys

July 27, 2011

Finally – the weekend recap! Robert got this little remote controlled toy airplane for Christmas 2 years ago. He recently rediscovered it in the cabinet and thought Sunday would be a good time to set it off on its inaugural flight.

Like all takeoffs, a good “run”way was necessary….

Thanks to Robert’s strong arm, the little plane soared! Doesn’t this look like a real plane high in the sky?!

Even though Robert tried really hard to keep it in the air… (Robert’s face cracks me up here)…

the remote control ultimately couldn’t take control of the little plane. Crash and burn.

Successful flight or not, Maxwell had fun watching Dad run around. (please note the crossed ankles again. cuteness.)

And I had fun hanging out with my boys.

Next stop? The swings! See you tomorrow.

Just cute

So…I know I promised pictures from our weekend today. It didn’t happen. Work got in the way of fun last night. Hopefully I’ll get them up tomorrow. In the meantime, I still have something good for you.

It’s so cute I can hardly stand it.

When he sits on the floor with his ankles crossed and sips on his straw.

It’s just. too. much.

Don’t even get me started on his curls.

Man, I’m glad he’s mine.

Hope you all had as nice of a weekend as we did. I’ve got some pictures to share but they’ll have to wait until tomorrow. Today you get these that I took last week…

Just a lazy summer day on the porch…

hanging out in the big, white rocking chair.

Contemplating life…

laughing at whatever he thinks is funny…

and just being my happy little buddy.

These are the days.

These are the days to remember.

Happy Monday.

Friday Favorite

July 22, 2011

Today’s Friday Favorite is our local library. It’s a fantastic library only 3 minutes from our house with so many great programs for kids…even ones Maxwell’s age! There’s something going on up there almost every day that Susan can take him too and they have the best time. His favorite thing so far has been Patty Cake Time. They sing songs, read books and do silly little dances. It’s every Thursday and only for ages 1 and under. Since they are taking a little summer break, yesterday was Maxwell’s last time to be able to go to Patty Cake Time. When they come back in the fall he’ll go to Mother Goose Time with the big kids! 🙂

I joined them a the library for a few minutes to see his big graduation from Patty Cake Time…they even sang Happy Birthday to him!

Playing at the library before class…

Saying “hi” to all his little buddies…

Ready to start!

It was a full class yesterday!

Maxwell’s favorite part are definitely the egg shakers!

The theme of the library this summer has been “One World, Many Stories” and Maxwell even got his very own reading passport.

So far, by reading books with Susan, he’s gotten 4 stamps in his passport – Switzerland, Malaysia, India and Hawaii (really glad he had his passport for Hawaii!). I’m so glad Maxwell has the opportunity to spend time at the library. Hopefully it will grow into a love of books! One thing I do know he loves…those egg shakers! 🙂
