Hi all! Hope you had a good weekend. Our was mostly good…minus a few crying episodes and one big boo-boo!
The weekend started off right on Friday when I had this for lunch…
Yum. Made with tomatoes and basil from our backyard, it was delicious. Inspired by this post from a great blog. (one of my faves).
Saturday morning brought bagels…or tiggles as Maxwell kept saying! Whatever he wanted to call them was fine by me because he was one happy camper!
We actually had Robert’s sister and brother-in-law staying with us for the weekend because they had a wedding to go to in Birmingham. Robert’s parents were also planning to come over Saturday afternoon before the wedding to see Maxwell for a bit. We were hoping that Maxwell would get a great nap in and be well rested to see Lou Lou and Granddad. Yea, he had other plans and decided not to sleep and to throw a fit for about 2 hours instead. Holland was at the house for all of that and I definitely think we convinced him that he doesn’t need kids anytime soon! We finally got Maxwell up after a whopping 30 minute nap and hoped for the best!
Luckily he did great all afternoon and got some quality time in with Lou Lou and Granddad.
We were ready to put him to bed early that night and went through the normal nighttime routine which involves Maxwell turning off his lamp. I have no idea why, but right after he turned it off, his little hand went straight for the lightbulb. Robert and I pulled it off within half a second but the damage was done. That bulb was hot and his poor little hand was burned. We spent the next hour and half getting him calmed down and keeping ice on his hand. A long afternoon followed by a long night!
When he woke up the next morning, his hand was definitely worse than I thought it was going to be. Look at these terrible blisters!
He’s been such a trooper about it and hasn’t mentioned his boo-boo too many times. Hopefully it will heal up fast! and, yes, I’m getting a new lamp for his room asap.
Sunday Maxwell got to (literally) hang out some more with Mary Beth and Holland…
and play with some Play-doh.
We then even got to see GJ and Daddo as they stopped by for a quick visit on their way to AR!!
We love visitors!!
It was a fun family-filled weekend with just a few rough patches. Hope you all had a good weekend!
GJ says
It was definitely a family week-end – so glad we got to be a quick part of it!
Aunt Jen says
Poor Maxwell. So glad he is going to be okay. Yay for visitors!
Dad says
We ended the weekend nicely with a trip to Home Depot for some light bulbs. Although we didn’t have a camera, Maxwell spotted a yellow (his favorite color) riding lawn mower; he hopped on and took command. He made his dad smile!
LuLu says
We enjoyed seeing everyone Sat. Maxwell was a perfect gentleman while we were there! Nothing worse than a burn, especially on little hands. Hope it will be better soon!
