Farmers Market Wednesday

Threatening thunderstorms could not keep the Ansdel Court crew away from the market, or more importantly away from the ice pops.

Sharing with Ceci

Max was even nice enough to give his mom a bite of his delicious coconut pop

So serious about the hair cut he requested

Colorful car wash

Max said he did not like the car wash, but his facial expressions as the lights changed color, in the soapy tunnel, tell another story.


Sunglass swap!

Fairfax Corner Friday

What could be more perfect than a splash pad and choo-choo train in the same place?!

Max was quite pleased to find a doctor kit at the neighborhood yard sale.

Double brush

Max might just be the first person to double fist tooth brushes.

Knock-knock

Max cracked himself up by playing knock-knock with this bucket over his head.  At least his head was protected from his knocks.

Pool time before thunderstorm time 


Snacking in solitude. 
Max later took his bag of popcorn into the pool and dipped each piece in the water before eating it.

Max celebrates Memorial Day

Max has a love for all things American.  When given the opportunity to pick any toys he wanted at the greatest and most affordable toy store around (the Dollar Tree), he selected an American flag and carried it around the store singing the Star Splangled Banner.  The flag is proudly displayed by Max's pool, which has quickly become his favorite place to be.

Everyone into the pool!

Max, Ceci, Timmy, and Gracie could not have been more happy to pile into this pool, ice pops and all. This scene lasted nearly an hour- surely a record for keeping kids ages 1 to 4 contained AND content! 




Add water and he will grow!

Happiest biker boy!

Polar plunge

The freezing cold water did not deter Max from hopping into the kiddy pool at Jake's house this afternoon.  It was the perfect activity to burn off his energy after a three hour nap.  Great day for all!

After proving he was brave enough to withstand the cold, Max took off his soaking wet clothes and changed into his swim trunks.

Max tried to get the other kids to come in the pool, but it was too cold for everyone but the General.

Take Max out to the ball game!

Max had a terrific night at his very first baseball game.  He stayed for the whole game, although he only watched about two innings.  Most of his time was spent jumping on the bleachers, facing the crowd and cheering, and playing catch/fetch with a tennis ball.  The high (or low) point of the game was when Max [while facing the fans] pulled down his shorts and demanded a new diaper.  We sung, Take Me Out to the Ball Game on the way home and read, Goodnight Baseball before bed.  No doubt Max is dreaming of baseball, while wearing his baseball pjs to bed tonight. 

Oakton victory!



Baseball pjs never go out of style.  Max will wear built-in feet forever.

Farmers Market Wednesday

Rain can't keep Max from chasing his friends and stuffing his face at the farmers market.

"I am soaked!"

Seconds after Max got his diaper changed at a basketball game, he sat on daddy's lap and peed all over them both.  "I am soaked!", David exclaimed.  "I am soaked!", Max repeatedly parroted, through hysterical laughter. 


Is Max trying to use nature's potty?
