Weekend Recap

What a GREAT weekend!  Our little family of 3 had so much fun together.  I documented most of it on my iphone so here we go…

First, on Friday, Susan wanted to get Maxwell ready for the Kentucky Derby so she got him all dressed up…maybe he’s got a career as a jockey someday?

Maxwell was a little distraught when I told him that I didn’t think elephants were allowed in the race!

He perked up again when he got to meet our neighbor’s new goldendoodle puppy Friday evening though.  Pictures coming tomorrow and, man oh man, get ready for adorable!  On Saturday we ran all sorts of errands, including a trip to Old Navy.  While there, Robert spotted this cute little straw fedora and popped it on Maxwell’s head…

We could not stop laughing!  Given that it was Derby Day and he looked ridiculously cute in it, we of course went home with it!

Maxwell wore it the rest of the day and, surprisingly, never pulled it off his head!  Later, when he was done with dinner, he even asked for the hat again!

Even though it wasn’t Mother’s Day quite yet, Robert did let me pick the movie Saturday night – Black Swan.  Good but very weird and I’m really not sure about the ending.  Have you seen it?  hmmm….

Sunday was Mother’s Day!!  My first with my sweet baby boy.  He greeted me that morning with a huge smile and an awesome case of bed head…

It doesn’t get much better than that…or so I thought!  I must have been very good these past 8 months because Maxwell and Robert spoiled me rotten!  Robert made me pancakes and Maxwell got me flowers.  That would have been enough but that was just the beginning!  Maxwell gave me the best book – Dr. Seuss “Are You My Mother?”  Can’t wait to read it to him over and over again!  He also got me a gift certificate to go spray tan as much as I want this summer!  woohoo!  🙂  Robert then gave me an awesome e-recipe book – kind of like a kindle for the kitchen.  Awesome!!  It didn’t even end there – Robert also picked out and bought an outfit for Maxwell all on his own!  Look how cute…

I love the green shorts!  the back is the best part…

too cute!  We then had a fun afternoon doing things around the house and – surprise surprise! – working in the yard.  We seem to work in the yard every single weekend.  We went to the grocery store later today and Maxwell once again asked to wear his new hat…

He’s just too much.  I am such a lucky momma and can’t believe I get to spend every day with this sweet, sweet little boy!!

I hope all you mommas out there had a great weekend too!!
