Sometimes Mommy cries

Last thursday was Max's last day of "school" at Parent Ed. He is usually fantastic but for some reason this day he felt like disobeyeing EVERYTHING. To top it off Tate screamed for about 45 minutes. I had to take him outside and walk around in the stroller so he wouldn't disturb the farewell the Teacher was trying to give. By the time I was loading the boys in the car I was choking back the tears.

Some days are just rotten & sometimes it makes mommy cry. Then, Max says this in the car...

Don't worry, I still held the grudge the whole way home.

A tricky game of Hide-and-Seek

Max loves to play Hide-and-seek. It's not that difficult to find a giggling 2 yr old, particularly when he's yelling "I'm in here!". He has a few favorite spots, but today's were hilarious.

This one is my favorite; his head in the dogs toy basket.

It epitomizes "I can't see you, you can't see me"

Not hard to locate when you're head is peeking out from under the crib.

Where, Oh where could Max be?

Here I am Mommy!

Busy & Lazy

Here's a quick recap of the last 1 & 1/2 mos.

We went to Disneyland.

Max really enjoys the rides now & its hard to drag him away when its time to go home. I should have taken a picture of them both passed out in the car before we even left the parking lot.

I love how serious Max is about his coaster riding

We had farewell Philly cheesesteaks with our friends the Andersons.

They ditched us for Tulsa, OK. I still can't talk about it.

Max & Weston @ Philly's Best

We tried out a children's restaurant called Giggle's n Hugs in L.A.

Mike and I stole away for our anniversary and went to Morro Bay. Basically its famous for this giant rock, but it also had great seafood, fun shops and... ...this really cool elephant seal preserve up the shore. I'm not kidding, there were thousands!

My sister watched the boys for the weekend and we came home to Tate with a 103 fever.
I love how he's still trying to smile through the pain.

Max now loves to read.

We read stories after stories, then he "reads" them back to us.

We went to one of Daddy's softball games.

Max had fun watching this groundhog dig out its tunnel.

Plus he got to throw the ball with Daddy on the big field.

We went to the Skirball Museum w/ Sachia & Sienna.

What's not to love about running around in Noah's ark?

Even Tate enjoyed himself.

Tate now enjoys his bog boy food.

Here's the B Boys enjoying leftover pizza for lunch.

So now we're all caught up. Hopefully I stay on top of things a bit better.
