Sidewalk Art

Taking advantage of this gorgeous afternoon...my little artist drew himself, a snake and had me draw a "hot scotch". Fun day!

Cake and play time

Max and I went down yesterday to San Marcos to get mom ready for her surgery and just hang out. While Max played outside with his Papaw and rescue pack, I was inside decorating my cousin's birthday cake. Another set of grandma's came to pick Max up yesterday afternoon and keep him while we took mom to the hospital bright and early (actually, wasn't bright yet - but early!) My mom underwent her surgery this morning. She came out fine. They put in a plate and 3 screws to hold her foot/ankle/shin in place and she'll be laid up for a few months. Thanks for all the prayers!

Ah...rescue pack, coming to the rescue!

Max has suddenly decided he needs a rescue pack like Diego's. So, instead of using his camping backpack, we got him a new one today. He has yet to take it off. He had it on even in the potty! He keeps standing up saying "Wook mommy. How do I wook?" He also was singing at the top of his lungs today in Target "Rescue pack. Ahhhhh comin' to the rescue!" and then would look at me and ask "Who can we rescue mama?" If you are wondering what's inside - well, it contains all of his Lighting McQueens and Mater's and even his "amuwance" car.

Mom's Car

It's been a rough weekend for my mom. She fell at my grandpa's house in Rockport and broke her ankle in 3 places. She's laid up for a few weeks or months for sure. Add insult to injury, her car caught on fire and burned in their driveway. Fortunately no one was injured in the car fire and thankfully their house didn't catch fire.

Max & Gavin Exercise

Gavin and Max were goofing around last night at our house after dinner. We decided they needed some exercise so we told them to run around the living room and then drop and give us push-ups, run around again and then do jumping jacks. After several rounds of that, they decided they needed to meditate. Max can't quite make his legs criss-cross yet but he gave it a valiant effort - oh - and we are positive he doesn't know the meaning of inside voice yet. Added to the humor of last night, this morning I found they were taking pictures of each other. Had to share some of the best ones. Enjoy!

My selfish purchase...

I know this is totally selfish as it is Max's blog, but, after several months of nursing our Quisinart along, cleaning up coffee grounds and picking them out of our cups, waiting a good 30 to 45 damn minutes for a cup of coffee, I broke down today and bought myself a Keruig. I can't wait for the 6:30 a.m. hour to roll around tomorrow when I can brew my own pot. But, say goodbye first to the ghetto pot - notice the tape holding the filter in place. :)

Clowning Around with Papaw

Max was just messing around with Papaw...
