Good news – the stomach bug came and went before I could even say “yuck.”  Thank goodness!

I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’m ready for the weekend.  I’m going to be hanging out with my sweet little loverboy who brings me flowers…

That pink blurry thing is a rose from our yard and he was so excited to bring it to me.  Melt my heart.

Maxwell is apparently just gonna be chillin all weekend long…

Does that picture not crack you up?  He was standing like that for a good 2 to 3 minutes and kept readjusting his crossed ankles.  Just hanging out!

If you’re in Birmingham, you should come and check out the Habitat for Humanity BBQ Cook-off.  Robert is on the Habitat board and we’ll all be there sampling some good AL BBQ!  yum!

Hope you all have a weekend with plenty of time to just hang out!

Maxwell loves the ladies.  This should come as no surprise as I’ve told you about his love of Caitlyn at school before.  Well, when I went to pick him up on Tuesday his teachers were laughing at what the ladies man he had been all day!  Apparently he tried to hold Caitlyn’s hand on the playground but she didn’t want anything to do with him so he just found himself another girlfriend…or two!  Yep, he was holding hands with BOTH Ruby and Parish on the playground!  My little loverboy.  But, really, who wouldn’t want to hold hands with this happy little guy??

You can thank Robert standing beside me for the belly laughs!

This is what he wore to school on Tuesday and I thought he looked so cute.  My forever friend, Andee, gave him this outfit when he was born and, even thought it’s a 12 month size, it just now fits him.  I’m so glad it fits in the right season!  Adorable!

I always send him to school in tennis shoes but that afternoon he looked even cuter wearing his seersucker with his navy Toms!  🙂

Sweet, sweet boy.

ps – see those keys in his hand?  Yesterday he also managed to push the “remote start” button twice and actually started the car from inside.  Oh goodness!

pps – Maxwell once again proved his loverboy status at the library on Wednesday.  Caitlyn was there and Susan said that his attention was on her the whole time – dancing in front of her, sitting on her mat, taking her a beanbag and even sharing his animal crackers with her.  He’s such a sweet boy.

ppps – things took a slight turn for the worse yesterday afternoon and we might be dealing with a stomach virus around here.  yuck.

I think outside is magic to little boys.  And maybe to little girls too but I don’t know much about them.  Whenever Maxwell is a little fussy or cranky (which is usually when he wakes up from his nap) I take him outside and his mood instantly changes.  He’s so good at entertaining himself while we’re outside and is always happy…at least until we have to go back inside!!  🙂  Needless to say, we’re loving these spring days and sunshine!

This picture pretty much sums up Maxwell these days – outside with a truck, a ball and a graham cracker!

Doesn’t get much better!

In the next picture you can see here how his left leg is just a little scrawnier than his right after those 5 weeks in a cast.

I also happen to love the afternoon light in our backyard for photos. Indulge me…

I can tell you exactly what Maxwell is saying in this next picture – “Where’s Dada?” – just like he does every day around 5:00!

On another “outside” note, we decided this year to get our yard sprayed for mosquitos.  We’ve only had one treatment so far (I think we get a few over the course of the summer) and it has already made a huge difference.  I usually get eaten up while outside and I haven’t had one bite yet!  I’d say that’s pretty great!  The spray is all non-toxic and completely safe for kids.  We used The Mosquito Authority and would highly recommend them to other B’ham folks!

So here’s to beautiful spring days, mosquito-less yards and lots of trucks to play with!

Let us know if you ever want to come over and play…we’ll be waiting for you at the gate!

Have a great day!
