Celebration

September 1, 2016

Well, it was good to be Maxwell on Tuesday! He turned SIX and celebrated big! The day started with a giant cinnamon roll six…

He then headed off to school with awesome Captain America cookies (NOT made by me!) for his class…

Meanwhile, back at home, the Bobbsey Twins thoroughly enjoyed the cinnamon rolls and birthday decorations!

After school I got to hear all about how he got to be KING that day! He’s been waiting his turn and what better day to be king than on his birthday!

That night, we went to Cocina Superior (Maxwell’s choice!) and Robert had them sing to him. I would not say he really liked that! Not sure he could have sunk any lower in his seat…

6th bday

Spencer thought it was awesome though! ha!

We then went home for cake…

What a fun day! Happy Birthday Maxwell!

On Monday it was finally Spencer and Samantha’s turn to go to school! Spencer was ready, he had an ice cream date with his new class a few weeks ago so had met a few of the friends that will be in his class…

Well, I say he was ready but he sure wasn’t ready for photos that morning! Don’t they both look so excited?

Ha! Spencer finally perked up a little when I told him about his new green camo lunch box I got him for school!

Samantha didn’t know what was about to hit her but, gosh darn it, she looked cute in this little apple dress!

I could just eat her up.

Ta da!

When we got to school Spencer walked right on into Mrs. Rollins’ class, showed her his new lunch box, and took off playing not even saying bye to me! Good for him! I then walked Samantha over to her room to meet her new teacher Mrs. Laura. She was clinging pretty tight to me for a while.

I finally managed to get her off of me and was trying to get her interested in the toys…

then Mrs. Laura tried to make friends…

But, nope. Little Miss Skeptical was having none of it! ha!

first day

Tootie. She finally found an Elmo doll that distracted her just enough for me to slip out. I think there were plenty of tears once she realized I was gone but Mrs. Laura assured me she didn’t cry for too long. Both she and Spencer sure were happy to see me at 1:00! I think they both had a GREAT first day!

Now let’s see what happens Wednesday when we go back and Samantha knows what’s about to happen! eek!

color week

August 29, 2016

Wow! What a fun weekend we had! Maxwell’s party was fantastic. It really could not have gone better and we had a very happy birthday boy! Today is Spencer and Samantha’s first day of school and Maxwell’s actual birthday is tomorrow…no slowing down this week!

Last week at school was color week and Maxwell had a certain color to wear each day. I, of course, used this as an excuse to continue to take a picture of him on the porch every morning. Wonder how much longer he’ll tolerate it?

Monday was red. This picture makes me laugh so hard. Spencer was doing some little dance and Maxwell was having none of it! ha!

Tuesday was yellow…

This shirt is a hand me down from Katie and Anna and it’s saved us on more than one “yellow day”!

Wednesday was blue…

Robert walked Maxwell to school that day and Baby was very sad she didn’t get to go…I mean, she had her purse ready and everything!

Thursday was orange…

and, don’t worry, Baby got to walk to school that day! 🙂

Friday was green…

and that’s the end of color week! Or so I thought! Friday afternoon I got an email from Mrs. Solai with a whole new list of colors for this week…guess that means an excuse for more porch pictures!! 🙂

Party prep

School Shoes

August 25, 2016

New school year = new school shoes! I originally ordered Spencer a pair of Nike Air Max for an upcoming surprise trip (shhh!) because they have a thick sole and I thought they would give him an extra inch or two he needed to ride some rides…

They did! and he loves them! He feels pretty cool with his new “tie shoes”.

I liked them so much on Spencer that I ordered Maxwell some Nike Air Max of his own…

mbb shoes

he really loves them!

I don’t like how they make him look like a teenager all of a sudden but…that’s life.

I also got them each a pair of blue Sauconys just like the red ones they’ve had the past few years.

shoes

Can’t go wrong with those.

Samantha’s a totally different story! Girls shoes are more fun – and more challenging! My sweet girl can’t just have two pair of tennis shoes and that’s it now, can she? Only problem is her chubby foot won’t fit in a lot of the shoes I tried on her! But, we ended up with some winners…

We kept the See Kai Run tennis shoes on her right foot…
