a few funny things...

max doesn't like waking up. in the morning and after naps he likes to lay in his bed for awhile. it's so funny. it's like he is a grumpy old man who never gets enough rest.

right now he is a sports fanatic. any shirt with a number on it is a "team shirt." he wants to wear team shirts all the time. the other night i came home from work and he was already in bed. i checked on him and he was wearing plaid pajama pants and a striped polo shirt. drew said he insisted on wearing that specific "team shirt" to bed. it's hilarious. we've witnessed many a two year old tantrums because we put a different kind of shirt on him. i guess i just need to go shopping. :)

he asks us to do funny things. wear his football helmet, fall on the ground, make silly noises. if we say, "no, i don't want to do that." he gets this hilarious look on his face and he says, "you do!" i'll have to try to get it on video. it cracks us up.

too early for halloween decorations...?

i put up our halloween decorations this week.

i know it's a little early but with youth go's haunted house quickly approaching...and by quickly i mean that we open next friday...and i wanted to make sure max didn't miss out! i get burnt out with halloween so fast because of the many hours spent on all things "haunted."

algoma wine fest...

we took our annual trip to the "wet whistle wine fest" in algoma.

drew decided that we should take our new rv for a spin...

we are excited to take full advantage of having a camper next summer. i can't wait for some awesome family adventures!

pam and mom enjoyed the comfortable ride.

this is the 4th year we've enjoyed the beautiful weather, great music, and yummy wine at the algoma wine fest! what a fun day! (we missed you becky!)

fitting a week into one post...

so here is my attempt to fit last week into just one post full of random picture!

our new furniture came with way too many pillows. after months of trying to figure out what to do with them, i made a small little reading corner for max.

we have found him back there almost every day since!

hooray...the shed project is finally complete! well, the door still needs to be painted to match the siding, but the construction is finished!

what could be better than baseball in the morning in your pajamas? from this smile, i don't think anything could top it for this guy!

max, that's a tree...not a baseball! this kid loves playing baseball. we are out there at least every other day. he's got some pretty impressive hand-eye coordination. i'm actually pretty impressed. he still puts his glove on the wrong hand about 50% of the time, but he can hit!

look at that cheesy grin!

i snapped a picture of the leaves changing on one of our trees. say it ain't so. i mean i love fall, but i'm not ready to say goodbye to summer yet.

i thought he looked so grown up on thursday. he was all ready to head over to grama's house!

and he had an action packed day with her. he was pooped.

and that's about it.

seafood fest...

we headed to jefferson park for rotary's seafood fest!

it was a nice, cool evening and we were off for a little family fun.

here's our little guy enjoying his star popsicle.

his face was stained red and blue for about 2 days.

sometimes i can't get over how adorable he is. :)

we had a nice evening, played on the playground, walked down by the water and did some dancing. check out his lips in this picture. i'm not sure if he was trying to sing along or if he was just really into his dance moves! :)

here he was playing air guitar! he's finally understanding that all bands don't include his dada!

we got to eat dinner that we didn't have to cook, enjoy a nice almost fall evening, visit with some of my friends from rotary, and spend time together...i think it was a success!

opening packer game...

(i'm a little behind)

we headed to mom's house for dinner and to watch the first official packer game of the season. max really is the biggest little packer fan around. he had to wear his new rodger's jersey and bring his football and helmet!

cheering for his packers!

not sure what they were doing or why they were doing it...but it was pretty cute!

go pack go...1-0! :)

max-a-sauras rex...

rawr.

family movie night...

saturday night we enjoyed a family movie night.
i took max up for a bath and we came down to find that dada had put some of his "friends" on the couch. it was hilarious. he hopped right up there, got comfy and was ready to watch "chicken little." maggie even joined him for a bit!

nakey day...

max did not want to wear clothes the other day.
he proceeded to participate in some of the day's events in just a diaper.

enjoying a yogurt popsicle! (and looking quite serious)

delicious and messy!

time to "rock and roll" as max says.
first he had to tune the guitar, just like dada.

playing me "twinkle, twinkle little star."

cheeseball!

eventually i convinced him to put on some clothes so that we could go outside!
