It was raining....

On Saturday and Max was going stir crazy, so Clu loaded us all in the car saying that he was going to take us somewhere that we ALL would love. Not knowing what to expect, we followed his directions and ended up about 5 minutes from our house. As we pulled into the parking lot I knew Max was in heaven. His eyes were huge, he couldn't stop making VaRoom noises and saying WOW!

We were at Harley Davidson

If you listen carefully you can hear him saying "Wow" and "VaRoom"

Clu was right, Max & Clu headed straight for the bikes and I of course found the clothing department. I was coveting some killer boots.

Monster at our house

The weather has changed and so Max has brought the clubs inside to practice. This is daddy's monster wedge that he has taken as his own.

For heaven's sake

The other night I was on the phone with my mother, when Max came to me and signed help. I followed him to see what he needed (normally a toy that is out of reach). I found him with his Christmas present from Nanny & Papa. My mother had left it at our house so that I could wrap it and put it under the tree. I thought I had a great hiding spot: downstairs, in the closet (closed), behind the shelf with stuff on top! Mr. Mischief was very sly and wriggled behind the shelf to pull it out. He again signed help (wanting me to open the package). I told him that he can’t have it and put it up on the shelf. Immediately he pulled out the 1 ½ yr. old temper tantrum (remember I am talking to my mother on the phone while dealing with this). She asked what had conspired and I told her that the little bugger found the gift. “Oh for heaven’s sake Megan, let him have it” … My reply “It is okay mom, he needs to learn”. “Not with Nanny, just open the gift up. You were the biggest snoop of all, a taste of you own medicine."
You'd think he was posing for the picture. Maybe he was just so proud that he "won" or got the toys.

1-0 for little Max. The best part is that his daddy was making us a headboard while this was happening and so he got his “tools” to go and help daddy. He must’ve known that they were just like daddy’s and he needed to go and help.

Fire Day

What is Fire day you ask? At DHI they have a day that the Firetruck comes, demonstrates and reminds people of fire saftey (of course families are invited). We jumped at the chance to take Max to see a big fire truck. They let the kids climb, use the hoses, push buttons, and pretty much get into all of the COOL equipment. Take home: a firehat and football, both of which are a huge hit at our house. You can't ask for anymore! Here is our journal entry is photos:

"Copy that HQ...Engine 1 in route..."

..."Oooooo...buttons...switches...EVERYWHERE!! Am I in heaven?"

"Some day I'll see over the steering wheel"

"Hey mom...did ya need a shower?"

Last but not least....
