End of August 2016, Peter's Birthday

Hello, 2 year old tantrum

I took Maxwell shopping for his dad's present.  He picked out the balloon and the presents.

Reading the card Maxwell made for him

The kids were very excited to show dad his presents.  

A snackeez cups and some balls to throw.

During a playdate with the boys her age in the neighborhood, our neighbor took a couple gorgeous pics of Emmalyn.

I just love those curls

I had Maxwell do Thank You cards for each of the presents he got for his birthday.

The fabric on the roof of Peter's car was coming unglued so he stripped it off is going to glue new fabric on.  It is a big undertaking!

Date night to another musical - A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder!  We loved it!  I hadn't heard about it but it was fantastic and very funny.

The pretty bracelet Peter bought me for Maxwell's first day of school

Both wearing our flag shirts - we are twins!

Oh my goodness - - - I was clipping Emmalyn's nails and I accidentally cut her skin and she bled.  I've NEVER done this to either of my kids.  EVER! I've always been so careful (and 99.9% I'm the only one to cut their nails).  I felt so awful.  :(

Maxwell and his stuffed animals.  He loves having all of them on his bed and especially loves how Katy, the house cleaner, arranges them on his bed when she comes.  

Preschool Presentations and Easter Fun

Maxwell was chosen to present at his school's Kindergarten Roundup.  It's an event to showcase what the preschoolers have learned and talk about why they should continue their Kindergarten schooling at the Montessori school.

I wasn't going to be able to go to the roundup due to work travel, so Maxwell's teacher let me go to the practice during the day at the school.

Maxwell had to introduce himself, what class he was from, and what he would be doing before he got to work.  It wasn't a very fast process while he worked through the 4 digit subtraction but it's how you do this "game" so it just takes time.

Patiently waiting his turn (not all the other presenters did such a great job and it was tough because he was nearly at the end of it).  Peter said he did a great job (he's so timid ... it was great to see him be in front of a group like this).

While Maxwell had his presentation, I was in Nashville for work and got to go to dinner and then stuff hundreds of Easter Eggs with my step-sister Marabeth.  It was fun to get to spend time together!!

Maxwell had an Easter Egg Hunt (gather) with his class.  I totally forgot to bring his Easter basket so instead he had to use this reusable grocery bag that I had in my car - sorry buddy.

Ready to go get those eggs!

There was a visit from the Easter Bunny!

All the eggs are gathered (but you can't tell in that huge bag).
