Landen turned 6. Emmalyn was excited to sing to him and be next to him.
Maxwell's school had a science night with lots of fun experiments and hands on stuff. The kids both loved it. He's playing with magnets here.
This one was standing in a bubble
So much personality!
100 days of school! Maxwell dressed up as an old (sloppy) man.
I'm feeling good about the weight I've lost and how I'm looking! It's exciting to be able to wear clothes you've bought but never worn because it just didn't fit well.
Me and my girl
Love her
How she likes to go to sleep - on TOP of her stuffed animals

Silliness
Me with dreads - not a good look
Trying to teach Maxwell how to eat edamame out of the pod. He likes it, it's just hard to get the hang of it!
A little ice cream treat
Guess who has learned to tie his shoes!
Ready...set...

Emmalyn playing at the mall with Brittany
Maxwell's first tooth was ready to come out!
...Before
He was excited when Peter was going to take it out with dental floss but then as Peter started trying to put the string on his tooth, he got nervous and scared. It was tough for Peter to get the floss on his tooth which I think added to him being scared. Once Peter got it on, he did a quick yank and the tooth was out but boy did we have to endured some panicked crying.
It's out!
Such a little tooth
After (you can't really tell it's gone!)
After
His tooth all ready for the tooth fairy. He was talking about how he was going to sell it to her for $125.00 I told him that was too much.
She gave him $5.00! (The first tooth is very special and worth more than the rest of the teeth to the tooth fairy.)
Those curls
Really loving her personality right now
She wanted to take a picture of me
Brittany and I took the kids swimming inside at the FAC. It was fun to get in a pool!
Update on the Kids:
Maxwell loves soft things - blankets, pjs, shirts, sweat pants, jackets, stuffed animals, etc.
Most of the time when I ask who he plays with at school during recess, he says himself.. That's how he likes it, I guess.
If he ever gets goosebumps when eating a food, he won't eat any more of it.
Emmalyn doesn't sleep peacefully like Maxwell does. She cries out in her sleep a few times a night or whimpers. It's sad but she's at least she's not waking up.
She is getting better at knowing her letters. She still misses C, G (they are both E), N (calls it M), T (which is I), and W (which is U).
She's also finally catching onto her colors and will say most of them right but if you ask her what color something is, her default answer is "I don't know". She knows black, brown, red, pink, purple, green, sometimes orange and blue but doesn't know white and yellow.
