Maxwell loves to play with tape and any kind of “sticky”. One of his coloring books has a page of stickers and he had so much fun the other day decorating himself…
and Robert!
Fun days!
New kicks!
It’s almost fall. It’s time for school. What does that mean? New shoes! Like last year, I took Maxwell up to Sike’s to get him some new kicks for school. I went in thinking I was going to get him the navy New Balance…
but we walked out with the grey ones just like last year.
Nice face, huh? He was wanting me to peel the back off of his sticker instead of take his picture!
I do think the navy will look cute with long pants so, now that I know what size he is (6.5 wide), I’ve already gone on Zappos and ordered him a few different pairs of navy and red shoes to try on at home! A boy needs options, right?! 🙂 I really wanted him to be able to get some red Keds but they just aren’t wide enough. Even the 6.5 wide was too narrow for his fat little foot!
New shoes on August 2011…
and new shoes on August 2012…
Where has my baby gone?! There’s something about those big shoes and his long legs that make him look so old in that last picture. I miss that baby but sure do love this little big boy!!
Just the two of us
Happy Monday! It was just me and Maxwell holding down the home front this weekend as Robert had to go out of town on a work retreat to North Carolina. Lucky duck! Cool mountain air, golfing, boating, steaks…it’s rough being Robert sometimes! I didn’t mind though because I got to stay home with my best buddy and had grand plans for a really fun weekend. Unfortunately we had two things that tried hard to spoil our fun – puke and rain. Luckily the puking (Maxwell, not me) didn’t stick around past Friday but the rain stuck around all weekend long. Even though it was pretty dreary outside, I tried not to let it keep us cooped inside the whole weekend.
On Sunday morning, despite the drizzle, Maxwell and I went and had a little picnic at Overton Park and then played on the playground.
He loved the see-saw, just like last time. and, yes, I was on the other end with my camera in tow! talent!
Then, for whatever reason, Maxwell started shaking his head back and forth really fast over and over. He was cracking up and it was so funny to see his hair just swinging all over the place!
silly boy!
Everything was pretty wet but I had taken a beach towel to dry everything off. A little rain didn’t stop us!
Even though it was pretty tiring playing single mom all weekend, I’m glad I got some good one on one time with Maxwell before #2 gets here! Not much longer now!
Finally, happy birthday to Maxwell’s Aunt Jen yesterday! hope it was a great one!
Friday Funny
My mother-in-law sent me this earlier this week and I just have to share. I don’t know about you but I’m missing the Olympics!
The top 9 comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator: “This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.”
2. Dressage commentator: “This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.”
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.”
4. Boxing Analyst: “Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.”
5. Softball announcer: “If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.”
6. Basketball analyst: “He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.”
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: “Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.”
8. Soccer commentator: “Julian Dicks is everywhere. It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.”
9. Tennis commentator: “One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them…Oh my God, what have I just said?”
In other news this Friday, don’t you love it when some days your hair has a mind of it’s own. On this day, I think Maxwell’s hair had the mind of a 90’s California surfer dude.
Dude!! That is au naturel! No hairspray needed!
Happy Friday!!!
Gone Fishin’!
Maxwell and Susan had another big adventure this week – they headed over to a neighborhood lake to do a little fishin’! This is what I came home to find left for me in the kitchen…
Hilarious!
Although Maxwell practiced with his fishing pole before they left…
he preferred to just sit and feed the animals by hand once they got to the lake.
He wasn’t feeding many fish though. It was mostly turtles that were eating the bread!
Susan even caught a turtle on her line! She said it was pretty funny trying to get that snapping turtle back in the water!
The adventures for these two never stop!
ps – how cute does he look in his little blue jeans?! 🙂
