Brad was outside doing the last of the assemble job for the boys' swingset, so Max and I colored our Easter eggs while Miles was napping. We'll involve him next year...but he was just a little too little this year and I thought it would take away from Max's enjoyment. Plus, Max is in this lovely phase of getting to as much trouble as he can when I'm not looking right now. So, considering there were cups full of wonderful wet colors...I thought it best to give him my 100% FULL attention! LOL!
Anyways, we had fun and Max had a blast ordering me to give him more eggs and what color he wanted to do next. :)
I think his favorite part was toward the end when he realized he got some coloring on his hands and he was dirty! Again...this MUST be a boy thing! And why exactly are they selective with when and what they like to get dirty with? Because as much as he likes to make a mess...Goodness watch out if he is in a "mood" and got a crumb of food on his hands while he was eating! (yes, this is proof he is my kid!)
And lastly...completely un-related to Easter or this post...but here's a GREAT Max'ism that happened this week:
We are standing by the front door and I opened up the blinds on the side windows to our entryway and there were a bunch of red robins outside grazing on the island under one of our trees and Max yells..."Oh Mama, wook (look)...chickens!! I yike chickens!! Me eat??!!". It was probably one of the funniest things that I heard all week. He was so cute and excited! LMAO
