Second week of February 2017

Sleeping all covered up

Look, I curled my hair (rarely happens).  Feel good about how I'm looking with the weight loss.

Looking all handsome and ready for school

Her hair is getting long

Maxwell is signed up for t-ball for the first time so we had to get him outfitted

Happy birthday Hayden!

Love this curly haired little girl!

We played outside at the park after Kindermuisk

Then later we hit up another park because the weather was so nice!


Maxwell's sweet note to his friend Preston.  We mailed it to him in an envelope.  It says (I'm correcting the spelling) "Hey Preston Can we have a play date on March 4th?  You are the best friend I could have.  From Maxwell to Preston.

Maxwell was invited to a birthday party for his friends from Castle - Joshua and Lucas.  It was at the Heard Museum.  The kids got to do crafts, walk outside and see the dinosaurs, and they brought in some animals to show the kids.

Maxwell was bold enough to get up and go touch a few of them.

Emmalyn was interested but hesitant


The Utah Raptor




Playing around at the party


Because the day wasn't full enough - Peter and I also had tickets to go see Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the musical

Maxwell just lost his first tooth a week ago but he's got another that is right ready to come out.  This time, Maxwell knew what to expect and so he was super nervous and upset and just did not handle it well.  The tooth clearly needed to come out but getting it out was a whole other story.

We tried to do the floss technique like the first tooth but it just wouldn't stay on.

terror...tears...screaming...  ugh

Momma tried using a starburst to stick to the tooth.  That didn't work.

Trying to grab it with a tissue didn't work, Maxwell was freaking out too much.

Trying to hold him down so dad could get it.  Didn't work.  We stopped the torture eventually because it was just getting ridiculous.  He wanted it out but at the same time he didn't.



Maxwell calls me Momma-bunana so I call him Maxwell bubaxwell. Emmalyn calls Maxwell cutieous maxus (he came home and taught us about glutious Maximus and that's what she thought he was saying). 
We were talking with Maxwell this week and he said his friend Brooklyn in class wasn't very nice to him today because she said she wouldn't be his girl friend and he was sad about that because she was other boys in the class's girlfriend. He said he wouldn't be her boyfriend and he wasn't going to marry her anymore. I told him not to worry about it and it's more important to be friends plus he doesn't have to pick who he is going to marry for 20 years.  (Can't believe I need to have these conversations with my Kindergartner!)

Emmalyn loving her squeaky shoes.  She doesn't wake up in the middle of the night asking us to cover her up with her blanket anymore, she just snuggles into her soft peppa pig blanket but likes it around her face which makes me nervous.  She is a cuddler and on the couch or in the bed she wants to be right next to you. Max has been wanting us to fall asleep with him at night when we are tucking him in.

Fun over Christmas Break 2016

It was nice to just be home this year and not go anywhere over Christmas break.  It was a lot of days (at times that has its downfalls too) to hangout.
The gingerbread houses served as constant access to candy for the kids.  


The Karaoke machine was hit with the whole family


Maxwell liked hanging out with Tyler (likely because he was on a screen a lot of the time).

We all went to a trampoline place.  It was super fun!


Whew - no major injuries

We went to see a movie (although can't remember what it was now one year later...)  Emmalyn and Maxwell were excited to take their snackeez cups (the lid on top opens up to a container for snacks which was perfect for popcorn).




Playing with Maxwell's new glitter glue pens

Enjoying nice weather outside with chalk

Uno!

We went next door to make smores outside on their new outdoor fire pit


We made our traditional pretzels topped with hugs and M&Ms.


Maxwell got a science experiment kit for Christmas and was super excited to start doing the experiments.   He did a great job of reading and following (with guidance) the directions.




Maxwell's friend met Luckshya met us at the park to play.


I bought a piano!  A guy in the neighborhood was selling it for 100.00 so we got a uhaul and picked it up.  I am sooooo excited!  It needs to be tuned but is in decent condition.

This stinker is heavy!  It took 3 guys to move it.

Breaking in the new piano.

More science experiments

The kids and I went with Kimberly to the Dallas Arboretum but first stopped at Tida's shop to say hi and then picked up some BBQ for a picnic lunch.

It may be winter but it's always a good time for a popsicle!



We got lots of running in on the pretty grass in the sunshine.  We didn't end up exploring the Arboretum much beyond the portion by the entrance.




Peter and I went on a date out to eat and then to see the Book of Mormon musical (which neither of us really liked).



Another night we went to a movie and then over to Tida and Jason's.  Kimberly watched the kids (they had a great time).
