After the snow and freezing temps of late last week, we ended up having a BEAUTIFUL weekend with our first taste of spring! yes! On Saturday, Robert was going to work a community service project for most of the day so it was just me and the boys. It was still pretty chilly that morning so I decided to be brave and take them to see the Lego movie (I stole your idea Susan!)…
Yep, that picture pretty much sums up our experience. Ha! Actually, it really went ok. I took Spencer’s chair for him and plenty of snacks and we made it through about half of the movie.
Spencer really did pretty good until he wanted to get out of his chair. He then sat in Maxwell’s seat with him for a few minutes…
(cutest things ever with their arms intertwined) but that didn’t last long. He then wanted to walk all over the theater, up the stairs, etc. I let him walk up and down on the side for a while (it was a 10am movie and there were only kids and parents in there obviously) but then we all decided to call it quits and go get some lunch! Funny story about lunch – I took them into Moe’s and, while ordering, I turned to Maxwell and said “buddy, do you get an Art Vandalay regular or junior?” and the guy making the burritos said, “He just gets a junior. He’s the one that comes in all the time with the blonde lady, right?” HA! The guy at Moe’s knew what my kid wanted to eat better than I did. Cracked. me. up.
Sunday was just a “chamber of commerce” day. Sunny skies, warm temps, perfect. You HAD to be outside.
Spencer got up from his nap before Maxwell and I took him outside to get his first real taste of playing in the sand table. Now that he can finally walk, it’s like a whole new world for him outside! He loved it…
but kept getting a little confused about playing in the sand v. eating the sand! 🙂
Pretty soon, big brother was up to join…
That picture makes me all kinds of happy. Seeing them play together is just the best. The next picture is pretty much the best too…
Yes, that’s a toothbrush, full of sand, that he’s chewing on. I love that kid.
It was a GREAT weekend for sure! See you tomorrow!

Way to go Mom! Braving a movie theater! Love the picture of the two of them at the sand table together!
Aunt Jen says
Haha! You are brave. Glad you all had a great weekend. Now that Spring’s here may you have many more.

Sometimes you just have to have some sand for a snack! It’s just too tempting! I’m off to Australia and New Z. today and will return Mar. 11th. I do not look forward to that plane flight! Maybe I can bring back a Koala! See you when I get back! Love to all.
Dad says
At least we have a cover for the sand table be/c some neighboring cats would use it as a litter box.
