Max. Enough Said.

Max is a character. I mean there is really no other way to describe him. He is funny. I mean really funny. What he says often loses something in writing because for him it is all in the delivery. But this morning Alexis was telling us about her bad dream. Whenever she has a bad dream it is about bugs. I guess that is about the worst thing she knows lucky for her!!!! Anyway, she says in her dream that she saw a daddy long legs and she picked it up and ripped its legs off. Max says with a face of pure disappointment, "Lexi, that is terrible. You destroyed one of God's creatures. You should probably apologize to God and he might forgive you.". She started crying of course. I explained that it wasn't actually real so she did not have to worry. Max, however, says, "it's real to the person that dreams it.". Really? Thank you Mr. Profound. Yesterday as we were leaving Alexis's ballet class, there was some trash in the parking lot. Max immediately says, "oooooohhhhh, that is so mean to the world.".

He also has developed his own gamut of profanity three year old style. He knows he shouldn't say certain words so he has made up his own.
Stookey=stupid
Butler=ass
Dummy bear=dumb ass
What the football=I think this one is self explanatory
Doom=damn
Booby boo=not sure exactly but you don't want to be called this

Winter Break

Oh how I have enjoyed it. Sleeping in, no running around, help with the kids. It's been a nice break from our hectic lives. It's a new year and tomorrow begins again the craziness. But these two weeks have really been a gift. It has reminded me to try to slow down a little more. We spent a lot of the break hanging out with good friends. Alexis has been very social over the break and only let her double pink slow her down minimally. She looked rough though.


She got an American girl doll for Hanukkah and hasn't let the thing out of her sight.


If that's not an ad for American girl, I don't know what is!!!!!! She stayed up to midnight on New Years with her friends, has been playing endlessly with her brother and sister who worship her, and had a tea party for her upcoming birthday. She is a very social girl!

Max has really enjoyed having Ben home. They have gone to Starbucks, to the park, and wrestled around the house. One day I went to work and Ben got a whole day to himself. Of course I forgot to lay out clothes for the kids and he was so proud of getting them dressed that he texted me a picture.


I mean he did have to separately text me a picture of Alexis to ask which shoes went with her outfit but hey he did pretty good. Maizy has been talking so much. She calls Alexis "hehi" for Lexi and she calls Max "Buddy". She is so sweet but a little tougher than Lexi was. I mean if she falls down it is not crying for three hours generally she will get back up! She wants to do whatever Hehi and Buddy are doing. She is cuddly and adorable!

All in all a great break for us all!
