It’s Thursday and I’ve got nothing.
How about some pics of the boys playing with trains before bed?
Pretty exciting, I know. That’s how we roll!
See you tomorrow!
More Highlands
After our Firetruck fun, we all attempted a nice lunch together with the kids…
While the food was nice, let’s just say we didn’t pick the most kid-friendly option in town! But, we survived.
Maxwell’s favorite part of lunch was getting to see sweet, baby Evelyn! He was so excited to see the little, bitty baby and it made me really excited for him to be a big brother again! 🙂
We spent the rest of the weekend just enjoying being in the mountains…
And we especially loved getting to hang out with Lulu and Granddaddy! Â Even better that we got to give Lulu a special birthday hug while we were there!! Â Happy Birthday Lulu!!!
Let’s do it again soon!
Weeoooo Weeeooo
We went up to Highlands, NC this past weekend for the annual Firetruck Weekend! Each year for a Saturday in August, the local volunteer fire department pulls out all of their trucks – and some other, antique ones too – for everyone to come climb on, sit in and check out. They even give people rides around town ON TOP of a firetruck!  So fun! I have no idea what the liability is for that but I just climbed that 12 foot ladder and didn’t think about it!  🙂  Needless to say, our firetruck loving boys were in heaven!
The best part was that Robert’s great friend, Patrick, was there with his family. Â He has a little boy, Henry, who is just 2.5 months younger than Maxwell so they had a fun time playing together.
Soon enough it was time to climb on to the top of the truck!
We got to sit right behind the lights and the siren and Maxwell was like the king of the castle sitting on top of that truck waving to everyone in town as we drove around!
It was awesome. And can we please discuss Spencer wearing Maxwell’s old 2T jeans?
The cutest.
Just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better, Maxwell said, “Momma, I see Santa!” Â What?! Â Sure enough…
I guess Santa decided he needed a break from the workshop to come check out the firetrucks!
It’s never too early to start your Christmas list…and I already know that another firetruck is on Maxwell’s list…again!  🙂
More pics from the weekend tomorrow!
Monday!
We spent a great weekend up in Highlands, NC and I’m still playing catch up so, today, some swimming pics!
Waiting for the lesson – first time with no crying from Spencer! yay!
Fun with Coach Rafael…
and two videos.  The first shows Spencer fully going under water! Whoa! So proud of him!  and, yes, he cries a little after that but, I would too if I were him!  🙂
The second just shows how great Maxwell is doing at swimming further and further distances!
Go fishies go! Happy Monday!
Friday!
TGIF! And it’s August! Maxwell’s birthday month! Â woohoo!
Make it a good one!
