He’s getting bigger, taller, more mature. He’s staying up later, reading himself to sleep, and writing his own wish list for his birthday which is in exactly 68 days. He wants to be a big kid, ride with Dad in his truck, and assert his independence from the back seat of Mommy’s minivan any chance [...]

Childhood

Except for some Tostitos and a cookie or two, this was his dinner.
There was way too much fun to be had. Eating was the last thing on his mind.
When you have your best buddy and your best girl beside you on a tire swing, what else matters?
Roller Coaster

Since he was two, I have heard people predict numerous times that Max would be a kid who’d love roller coasters. The other day we went to Hershey Park (mmmmmm chocolate) and he rode his first coaster, The Comet.
Yep. He loved it!
Surprisingly, he didn’t want to go on it again. I think the long line [...]
Graduate

Tonight we attended the Kindergarten Graduation ceremony for Max’s homeschool group. I can hardly believe it.
Hardly believe he’s this big? Nah. I can hardly believe he stood still and gave me The Mom Photo.
I will cherish it always. Hee hee.
Of course, I do love the others too.
Max was definitely in a goofy mood all [...]
At the Buzzer!

Max finished his last bit of memorizing verses on the final night of Awana. At the awards ceremony, his leader put his pin on his vest and Max ran over to me for a hug. He worked so hard all year but in the end, that cramming did me in but it was fun for [...]
Random Thoughts After Midnight

1. Loved your comments about the floors. Totally boosted my confidence, thank you. I think we’re ready to talk hardwood. We are meeting with our guy this weekend.
2. We did school outside two days in a row. I felt like such a groovy mom and I know Max appreciated the fact that I didn’t fuss [...]

1. Oh, this girl. She looks so happy, doesn’t she? Looks can be deceiving.
She had a hard week. It was Tooth Eruption ‘O9 – she got four new ones. Lucky for us she didn’t wake up in the middle of the night but her naps were choppy at best and she had a fever, runny [...]
Colorful Hunting
Posted in All About Max, All About Mini on April 12, 2009 | 6 Comments »
My sweet friend Lorraine called me last week and asked if she could organize a little Easter egg hunt for my kids and her nephew. She said I wouldn’t have to do a thing, just come and have a good time.
Wait, let me think about that for a seco…m’kay.
It was so much fun and OH, [...]
Many, Many Easter Pics
Posted in All About Max, All About Mini on April 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »
We made so many good memories this weekend.
I took a ton of pictures and just couldn’t narrow down my favorites.
I’m going to start with today’s pics before church. These make me giggle.
Happy Easter!
Next – pics of the egg hunt.
(can you tell I’m so tired that I’m at a loss for words?)
Wear and Tear
Posted in All About Max, Real Life Humor, What I Learned This Week on April 8, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Geez, raising a boy is hard some weeks! But I believe you can learn a thing or two from a 6 year old boy. This is what Max is teaching me this week:
1. If you flex your elbow then attempt to squeeze your upper arm in that position through the narrow slats in the back of your chair, it will [...]
