Paint Day

I bought Max his own little paint set after I saw how much he loved watching me paint.  Yesterday we finally got all his stuff out and he went to town.  He painted us 6 wonderful pictures, and I can't wait to frame them!  While we were doing our bedtime routine he told me that he wanted to paint again tomorrow.  I said OK, and off he went to bed.  When he came into our room this morning he first said, good morning mom, and then he said, let's paint today.  I assured him that we would definitely make time for him to paint.  I just love watching him be creative!  
So excited to be painting

Snow Ice Cream

Charles and I had never heard of snow ice cream until several of our Facebook friends mentioned it during Oklahoma's snowmageddon.  So, since we got this lovely snow storm today we thought we would give a try.  We put a bowl outside, let it sit (which didn't take long to fill up), got on the internet to find a recipe, and voila snow ice cream. 
His first bite of snow ice cream

Mmmmm

He definitely likes it

Max gives snow ice cream a BIG thumbs up

Oh Snow!

Just enjoying another snow day here in Arkansas.  We even got Charles to stay home with us!  Max and Zeppelin had a blast playing in the snow, and Roxie and Conan even got into the spirit...just a little bit.  Now we are just waiting for our bucket to fill up with snow so we can make some snow ice cream.  Stay warm out there!

They love running around in the front yard

Even Roxie enjoyed the snow

Taking a break from story time to take a picture with Conan and Max

Now it's Max's turn to play in the snow
And of course he brought a ball with him

Family fun in the snow

What were some of your favorite Super Bowl commercials?

The Max Milligan Halftime Show

When the halftime show started Max ran to his room to get his guitar.  He just loves to play his guitar and sing to the music.  I was able to get this on video without him holding back.  Usually when I get the recorder out he decides he no longer wants to perform.  This little man keeps us entertained!  We think Max's halftime show was better than the one on TV.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Max Milligan featuring The Black Eyed Peas!!!

Birthday

Happy 29th Birthday to me!  I got to do a little shopping, a little relaxing, and even enjoyed watching the Super Bowl and commercials.  The best part was spending it with my wonderful family!  Thank you for all the birthday wishes!
Don't you just love Max's new picture taking smile?!  He thinks it's cute and funny.
Thank you Max for the awesome birthday video! 
Thank you twenties for being so kind.  I married my best friend, we have an amazing son, a wonderful family, fabulous friends, and 3 awesome pugs.  What more could a girl ask for?!
