Monday is dance day! Love my little ballerina – all pigtailed and cute and loving Mondays at dance class!
Over MLK day, brothers even got to tag along…
and though they wouldn’t exactly admit it…
I think they actually had fun!
Dance dance dance!
Go Speed Racer!
Being a Tiger Scout, Maxwell got to participate in the Pinewood Derby for his troop.
He and Robert worked hard on the car – Maxwell painted every bit of it! He even free-handed that Alabama A on top and the numbers on the side!
We went to the derby on Tuesday night and it was great! They have a fancy digital track and it really was fun for the whole family. There were some pretty impressive looking cars too! The boys were pretty proud when they got their car weighed – it has to be 5 oz or less and Maxwell’s car “The Crimson Tide” weighed in at exactly 5 oz! Score!
After dinner and plenty of goofing around by the scouts, the races started.
We were pretty excited when Maxwell won his first heat!
Even more excited when he won his second heat!
He lost his third heat – but pretty funny that he lost it to The Auburn Attacker! ha!
Everyone had fun and behaved so nicely – especially these two…
When it came time for awards, wouldn’t you know it – Maxwell won first place for the Tiger Scouts! Woohoo!!
I don’t know who was more proud – Maxwell or Robert (or maybe Daddo! ha!)
Can’t wait to do it again next year!
Go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer goooo!
Sunshine
Look at these 3 smiling faces in the sunshine….
They are my sunshine. Goodness gracious I love them.
The Lake
Over President’s Day weekend, my friend nicely invited me and the kids to go to her lake house. Another friend and her kids joined and we had quite the crew – 3 moms and 8 kids! None of us were quite sure how it was going to go but, thanks to some beautiful weather and kids that got along GREAT, it turned out to be the BEST weekend! The lake is still low so they have this great beach area which was perfect for digging, building dams, and getting really dirty!
Spencer sat in the water by himself for probably 2 hours just stacking rocks and having the best time…
Everyone was so happy to be outside!
Samantha and Leslie Hales were like peas in a pod all weekend…
Because everyone played so hard outside, they all miraculously slept incredibly well! woohoo!
Overall it was a better weekend than any of us expected with this cute crew!
Hooray for weekends away with sweet friends!
Doughnuts with Dad
On Thursday of last week, Spencer and Samantha had Doughnuts with Dad up at school! They were all pretty excited…
but didn’t get too long to hang out because we thought it started at 9:00 but it was actually from 8:30 to 9:00. Oh well! They still had enough time for a doughnut and a quick visit!
Love Spencer’s art for Robert…
Robert does like football and pizza but, while he does a LOT of things in the yard, pulling weeds is my job! Who knows what goes through Spencer’s mind some days.
Love these cute kids and their cute dad!
