We are almost at the end of summer. The days until school are rushing by and I'm not ready yet!
Playing at our little neighborhood park. She's big enough to climb up to the tall slides.
Maxwell's preferred method of swinging.
Adorable heart part to match her heart dress, courtesy of Aunt Britt.
The kids hung out with me at work. I love having them there, but get no work done when they are!
She quickly found my bag and determined it was a perfect purse.
Playing with the calculator
Maxwell hiding the rocks in my zen garden from himself.
This should be an ad. Who wouldn't want to buy NOWMints with a cute face like that staring at them?
Well, my green pepper finally was "picked". It just wasn't going to go any further than this. Sad. I did eat a bite but there wasn't much to it. I'm still going strong on my cucumbers (with help from me to mate the male and the female flowers).

A note from Maxwell
The kids LOVE to play with this play house and all the contents.
Maxwell had meet the teacher night so we all went to the school to see his classroom and meet his teacher - Mrs. Garza.
The names of all the students were on the board. Clearly Maxwell isn't the majority demographic in this classroom.
For Maxwell's birthday, I did a little decorating.
Last sleeping picture of my 4 year old
We all went to McDonalds for lunch on Maxwell's birthday. It seems to be his number choice always - thanks to that silly toy in the happy meal.
Getting chocolate milk was a must.
They were out of toys! (How does that happen?!) To make it up to him, he got an ice cream cone instead.
He's acting older already - - he climbed all the way to the top (he's on the top right side) of the playground. That's not common for him.
We had his well-child check up with his pediatrician.
Past 40 lbs!
Emmalyn came along for the doctor's appointment. She loves going to all doctor's appointments.

Page 1 of his questionnaire. You use the same questionaire for ages 4-6 and you are supposed to keep going until you get a certain amount of "no's". He got through both pages with all yes's.

Maxwell's 5 year old stats:
Weight - 41.6 lbs 57th %
Height - 40.25 in 7th %
BP 99/50
Heart rate 89
Very little change from last year.
After the doctor we went to Little Caesars to pick up pizza (maxwell's choice) for dinner. It was POURING rain and we all got wet!!
Poor girls was soaked
Enjoying his pizza on his "you are special" plate.
The rain sure made her curls stand out though - - I'm still in shock over them!
BOING! Those curls!!!
The cousins waiting on the cake.
Woo! Way to go Maxwell!
Licking the candle
Sweet curly hair framing that sweet face.
The baby is slowing fading out of this face. :(
After cake, we opened some presents.
Kids update:
Emmalyn loves having Grandma Donna around. Max calls her Donna.
When doing kisses at bedtime, Emmalyn gets off bed and runs away saying "I'll be right back!"
So many questions from her..."why" "why" "why"
