A look back

This is when Max was so little and innocent.............you know, before he could talk back.

Micah

He's getting so big
I love putting him in random spots and taking his picture.
He's just so cute......and chunky........I love it.

One of those days

Today was one of those days. It wasn't a bad day just a trying day. It started when I went to Target this morning to pick up a couple things. I not only purchased several things but it turns out I also stole something. Max was playing with a box of breast milk storage bags and they ended up in our target bag and I did not pay for them. So when Jason got home from work I went back to Target and purchased them.

After the clepto incident Max and I were hanging out on the couch watching TV when he got up and started stripping his clothes off and saying, "pee pee mama". I was excited that he might actually go pee pee in his toilet. So we went into the bathroom, took off his diaper and sat him on his big boy potty. he sat their for about 2 seconds and then said, "NO". He then got up and went streaking into his bedroom. I went into the nursery to get him a new diaper and when I went into his room to put it on him, he was peeing on his bedroom floor. That was fun.
Later in the day, he punched me in the mouth thinking he was being funny. It didn't feel so funny. All of this added onto a splitting headache made for a day that I just had to shake my head at.

Christmas came early

figuring out the trailer
This is the best day ever!

Bet you wish you had a tractor like this.
Mowing the lawn, mowing the lawn, here I am mowing the lawn............

Maximo got his new tractor today. We decided he might as well have it now so he can use it before it gets cold. I can't imagine the drama that would take place on Christmas day when he saw that tractor and then realized he couldn't ride it until Spring.

So to make a long story short...... He loves the tractor. He hasn't quite figured out how to steer it yet but give him a week and I'm sure he'll have mastered it.

He didn't get to use the tractor much today because it was raining on and off but I'm sure he will have that thing wore out before snow falls.

Jason's mom got this shirt for Micah. It cracks me up!

Some assembly required

I hope Max and Micah have as much fun with this as the kid on the box.

ooooooooohhhhhhhhh..........how pretty huh?
And I'm lost.

Max's tractor came today while he was at day care. This worked out perfectly because I could put it together without him seeing it. It was mostly together, I just had to put on the steering wheel, the seat, the lights and about a million stickers. It was easy until I came to the trailer. The directions for putting the wheels on are vague to say the least and the picture is useless. I am a bit embarrassed to say I couldn't figure it out. Jason will have to do it. I will say that a lot of people must screw that part up because they sent extra pieces.

The battery has to charge for 18 hours so I have the tractor hidden in the back of the trail blazer until tomorrow. I can't wait to see his face when he finds out he has his own tractor. I will be sure to post pictures.

tradgedy has struck

Every morning at 7 am we watch Hi-5 on TLC. This is Max's all time favorite show. its not just a show, its often a tool capable of stopping pain, tantrums and bad moods. This morning, it wasn't on. none of the kids shows that are normally on TLC in the morning were there. I'm hoping it was fluke thing but I'm worried they have changed their programming and Hi-5 is gone. Lets pray they stay on cable On Demand!
