Max, Mama, and Papa - April 2016

Can't believe I've been keeping up with this project for almost a year!
What fun to look back over the year and see our favorites.
This month has brought evening adventures at the park,
lots of swinging in the front yard,
time with Mema and Pops, silly faces on Snapchat,
popsicles and ice cream, weekend visits with Auntie Stacy,
and a growing collection of mini Thomas trains.
 
Here is what Mama, Max (35 months), and Papa were into during April 2016.
(From left to right - Papa, Max, and Mama)
 
DRINKING:// Mich Ultra, Water, and High Brew Coffee
*The Mich Ultra is leftover from our house guests!
*I cannot recommend this cold brew enough (it's in the
refrigerated section at Kroger)

EATING:// Cliff Builders protein bars, mini chocolate donuts, and Talenti ice cream
*Rob seems to still be trying to eat healthy (ish)
*Max loves these little donuts found in the bread aisle of
your local grocery
*This ice cream is everything. It seems to be
made of natural ingredients (rarely more than five of them)
and of course I only eat it in small treat like increments

GROWING:// his dad skills, finger nails in constant need of clipping, pansies
*We purchased a new to us swing set for Max and Rob
has been using his free time to set it back up.
(it will still need to be power washed and stained....but
we're not afraid of al little hard work for a good deal)
*I swear Max's finger nails grow at hyper speed...
he's also not a fan of "hang nails"
*I've kept three pots of pansies alive!!

LOVING:// our new deck umbrella, paw patrol band aids, gel manicures
*we got this new lime green patio umbrella last weekend
*Max has been known to wear a band aid on every finger with
no real injury to cover
*Gel manicures forever and ever

PLAYING:// with the laser pointer for Pecan, Easter eggs, and on my one second a day app
*Rob is the only one who regularly plays with Pecan still
and it does really seem to tire her out and make her less annoying
*Max is still loving to hunt Easter eggs
*I'm obsessed with this app - check out my creations on instagram 

READING:// the Costco mailer, all the Maisy books, A Remarkable Kindness
*Rob will never let me throw these mailers away until
he reads them cover to cover
*I think we have every Maisy book out from the library.
She's a little mouse that does very regular toddler/preschool things
(i.e swim, go to the movies, visit a farm etc) and Max loves them.
*I really liked my book for the month

WATCHING:// Star Trek Voyager, Mater's Tall Tales, and Catastrophe
*We have Amazon Prime now....so I have more show options!

WEARING:// his box knife and keys, swimsuits, and garden gloves
*Rob carries both of these to work everyday
*We've been swimming a bit!
*My new gardening gloves...they are so amazing!
 
Only one more month until Macho Max turns 3!
