Color me Max

"Color"

Ready for the rain

Oktober Fest rides with Grandma and Pa

Rides are yummy

Let him eat cake

Especially if he will help clean up after, with a gigantic smile on his freshly sweetened face.

Purple cat, purple cat

What do you see?

I see Max lovingly laughing at me.

Sadie's cat, Pawley, is by far Max's favorite feline, but purple cat is a close second. 

Strawberries are hilarious!

Smooch

Earlier bird

Who shrunk the playground?

     

Oh, this makes more sense.

     

Early bird

Max is typically an amazing sleeper (aka: lets his mom and dad sleep until 7:30am or later!), so it came as a surprise when he awoke this morning at 6:30am.  Despite being sleep deprived, Max still managed to get a ton of playing, sliding, and jumping accomplished in the unseasonably autumnal sunshine.

Wiped out after gym class

          

That's enough of that.

                

Catching up on some rest.

              

Good thing we didn't put this away yet.

  

No, I will not smile in front of anything pumpkin-y.

          

Frequent rider

Max outdid himself in the rides department today.  Between two trips on the mall train and three rounds on the carousel, followed by three jaunts on the train at the pumpkin patch, he racked up quite a few miles. And quite a hefty bill.  But the smiles and laughs are priceless.

So excited that he is riding by himself!

     

Trying out daddy's hair products for the first time.

       

Ready for school!
Oops- it's Saturday and I don't have any clothes on.

       

New do

Max started the weekend with a fresh haircut and had fun playing in the summery October night.

Welcome back, teething

Hookie!

Max is home today, but unfortunately he is not really playing hookie. The poor guy was awake all last night throwing up. Six sheets (and no, we do not have six crib sheets), seven sets of pajamas, and several baths later, he finally proclaimed victory over a vicious stomach bug and woke up this morning, refreshed and ready to play. The night was definitely brutal for us all, but spending the day at home with Max mid-week was actually a nice treat.
