Max is deep in the stage of insisting on dressing himself. His fashion choices are often questionable, but that's one area I [try to] avoid interfering with. The freedom of self-expression is important for all ages! Max's favorite outfit combo tends to be a button down paired with basketball shorts --- business on top, leisure on bottom? The funny thing is most of his button down shirts are much too small, allowing his Buddha belly to poke out the bottom. Oh, and his preferred basketball shorts [um capris/pants] are those left behind by our four year old friend. The expression on his face is pure disappointment if I ever try to convince him to wear something different....sooo we just roll with it. Haters gonna hate.

It was a beautiful day in Texas today. We spent some time playing at the park, where Lyla's topic of conversation was convincing me she is five. She exclaimed, "this is what five year olds do..." as she climbed the ladder to the monkey bars. She completed two full bars, arms swinging and everything, before she realized what she was doing and had a moment of panic. It's funny how much we can accomplish before we allow fear to set in. She's such a silly girl.
We came home and both kiddos took nice long naps, leaving me with the sweet sound of silence for a couple hours. I was feeling inspired after binge watching Pioneer Woman over the weekend and decided to bake some mini-loaves of banana bread. It was going great until my 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg turned into 2 teaspoons due to a shaker malfunction. I took a photo of the final presentation for the blog, like a true social media monster. Then Lyla woke up & we shared an entire loaf...apparently the nutmeg mishap wasn't that detrimental after all. Haha! Today was a good day. I feel more at peace after getting that crazy lady out of my system.
Lol! We baked yesterday too!
