Max, Mama, and Papa - May 2016

 My baby is THREE!!
I've been doing this little project for A YEAR!
 And while it wasn't that hard... it was time consuming
to make all these collages and badger Rob to make sure
he was included. BUT, I'm so happy
to have all of these favorites documented.
 
The span between mid April and this point were
consumed with putting up the new (used) swing set,
busting out all of our yard toys, reacquainting ourselves
with the local parks, hanging out with Auntie Stacy,
visits with grandparents, and Target trips for Thomas trains.
 
Here is what Mama, Max (36 months), and Papa were into during May 2016.
(From left to right - Papa, Max, and Mama)
 
DRINKING:// Omission, Juice, San Pellegrino
*Rob's finishing up the last of his dad's gluten free beer
*Max is still loving the juice
*This prickly pear San Pellegrino (which Auntie Stacy
told me about) is just so delicious.
EATING:// tortilla chips, fruit snacks, plantain chips
*Rob packs these in his lunch box most mornings
*He doesn't get fruit snacks all the time...but he does
love these, probably because they have "Cars" on them
*I love any excuse to shop at Trader Joes....these plantain
chips taste just like potato chips. 
GROWING:// peas, long legs, and peppers
*Rob planted these sugar snap peas for me....and
has now claimed them as his own
*The picture of Max (from above) cracks me up
and shows just how long his legs are getting. And
proves what happens when you don't take an afternoon
nap...you eventually fall asleep in the swing
*We planted three varieties of bell peppers this year
LOVING:// anything involving the grill, his squirt bottle, and my stepping stone
*Rob never calls it a grill - it's always "the barbeque" - I have
no idea why?
*Max has two squirt bottles that he will literally spray
anything with. He loves to take it to the top of the swing set
and spray us from there.
*Max made me this stepping stone for Mother's day...awwww!
PLAYING://  Boom Beach, trains, Justin Timberlake's new song
*I have no idea what this game of Rob's involves?
*Max got some new train pieces for his birthday (inspired by his
buddy Will) - and it has been fun to see them incorporated into
his train set ups!
*I'm obsessed with this new JT song! It's so catchy and fun.
(Thanks to Auntie Stacy for the recommendation).
READING:// the shed manual, No Fit, Nilson/Very Hungry Caterpillar,
and An Abundance of Katherine's
*we bought a shed at Costco and Rob will hopefully soon
be putting it together (after he reads the 100 page manual)
*The No Fits book is so great! It's been helpful to
reinforce that we don't need to have a fit about everything
(if your name is Max).
*Read this book during our trip to Hocking Hills.
WATCHING:// River Monsters, Paw Patrol, Girls
*Rob found this show on Animal Planet several
years ago...and is still faithfully watching it.
*Max is Paw Patrol obsessed
*I watched the first two seasons on Girls
on Amazon Prime and then begged - near daily -
for Auntie Stacy to give me access to her HBO account
via the HBO go app - and she finally caved and set it up for me!
WEARING:// a tape measure, new Paw Patrol shoes, gold sandals
*Rob loves to wear this tape measure around on the
weekends...especially when trying to figure out the
placement for the shed
*These shoes light up and Max is loving it.
*I got these gold sandals at Target and I think they
go with everything. There is a good chance that if
you see me this summer, I will be wearing these.
 
What a year! Thanks for reading through our
favorites every month.
xoxo
