Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
They azaleas are bursting in the backyard so I took the kids out to snap some springtime shots. Got a few good ones and plenty of funny ones! Starting with some of the better ones today…
Yep, that was the best of the group ones! ha! Baby was dancing, Spencer was spinning, and Maxwell was doing his best to stand still and smile! ha! I had a little better luck with some individual ones.
Maxwell aiming to please….
Spencer being silly…
and Samantha being sweet and squirmy!
Oh I love these babies!
Another Sunday, another soccer game – but this one was SO MUCH BETTER! As we’ve discussed, Spencer hasn’t exactly taken to Sunday Soccer. He’s loved the warm-up/practice part of it, but hasn’t been very interested in playing the actual game part. There have been plenty of tears and lots of sitting out. However, something changed this week and Spencer was a soccer machine! Now, he still barely actually touched the ball and didn’t come close to scoring a goal BUT he played almost the entire game, hustled his little heart out, and had FUN! Woohoo!!
Before we left the house he said, “Momma I’m gonna play so hard!” and, my goodness, he did! Go Spencey Go!
I loved watching him play….and so did Samantha!
Maxwell proved to be the best ball – and baby! – retriever around!
I think one of the main reasons Spencer did so good this week was because he had the best cheerleader on the sidelines! There’s nothing like having Mrs. Susan cheer you on!!!
Goooo Lightning Bolts!
and goooo Spencey!
Weekend highlights…
On Friday Maxwell got to go to Glenn and Cate’s birthday party. It was a Star Wars party but, since we don’t have any Star Wars costumes, he went as Batman. Makes sense.
That obviously meant Spencer dressed up as Spiderman…just because. Since Maxwell got to go to a party, Spencer and Samantha got to go get a treat too!
Saturday was t-ball! Maxwell got to play pitcher and had some great stops and throws to first!
That afternoon we took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather and hit up the park…
Sunday was soccer! Oh boy! No, it really was great actually! In fact, it was so great I think it deserves it’s own post! See you tomorrow! 🙂
Maxwell had his Bug Parade up at school yesterday! Yea, I’m not really sure what that is either but, they made cute bug costumes so we got to go watch them parade around the playground and show them off for 5 minutes! 🙂
On my way in I walked past the playground to see this cutie out having fun with his class….
Here he is telling me, “Mom, dis is my friend, Sebastian…”
I then made it over to the other playground just in time for the parade! Apparently the kids got to pick from a few bugs and Maxwell chose Dragon Fly! He thought the solid gray shirt today would go well with his wings and I have to agree!
The Top Dogs (5K) were the bug catchers! ha!
It was quick and cute. I always love getting to go up to school and see my boys “in the wild” and interacting with their friends.
This one was the best looking dragon fly out there!
ps – Maxwell stayed for soccer but I went on and took his costume home. I went to pick up Spencer and he loved getting to be a Dragon Fly for the walk to the car! shhh…don’t tell Maxwell! 🙂
I love my little bugs!
When we got home last week, Maxwell had a special surprise waiting on the mailbox!
It was his invitation to kindergarten orientation! Woohoo! We went on Tuesday and it was great.
Maxwell was pretty excited and it helped to walk in and see several familiar faces like Lila, Jack, Glenn, and Cate. We all sat in the auditorium at first while the principal introduced herself and all the kindergarten teachers. The kids then left with the teachers to check out the classrooms and get a little treat in the lunchroom! The parents stayed in the auditorium to learn about important things like school lunches, carpool, and what shoes to wear for PE! 🙂 We also got LOTS of good information about ways to get involved with the PTO. No surprise, I’ve already signed up! We then all went downstairs to find the kids who were having a fun time and enjoying a huge cookie. Kindergarten is off to a great start!
With Glenn and Cate…
Outside after orientation with some buds…
These kids are going to hit the ground running in kindergarten!!
I’m really excited for Maxwell. I’m also a little sad. He’s growing up so fast and I’m really going to miss him next year when he’s at school. 7:50 to 2:50 is a long day! That said, I know he’s ready and I cannot wait for him to experience and learn all the fantastic things MBE is going to teach him. He’s SUCH a good kid. He’s smart, he’s curious, he’s personable…he’s READY for kindergarten!
MBE here we come!!!
