Today my friend Evie and I were part of the single mom's club because both of our hubbies were working all day, so we decided to load up the 4 kids and head to the metropolis of Volin for their annual Turtle Days event! I grew up in a small town so I'm used to short small-town parades, but man, this was short...a whole 20 minutes! There were probably about 10 floats, 1 tractor, 2 crop sprayers, 6 fire trucks, and 3 obnoxious lawnmowers with no mufflers. These things were awful. As most of you know, Maverick is not one to be restrained, but he had his head buried in my shoulder bc these things were so terribly loud. It seemed like they just wouldn't stop! 
Here are the turtles gearing up for the races. Personally, I think they're planning their escape route. As many know, I'm not a turtle fan, so I did not participate in any turtle race. Some people were holding them and touching them like crazy. Don't they know how many diseases those things carry? Not only that, but they'll bite off your toe. Seriously, they will.
This is the closest we got to racing.
Maverick and his buddy Austin. Isn't this so darn cute? It was the first time Maverick initiated a hug.
Elaine, Aden, Austin, and Maverick waiting for the parade. Needless to say, they didn't hang in their strollers for very long. Maverick is his father's son, he did a great job collecting candy. I gave his first lesson on good candy vs cheap candy! We need to do some more work. Maybe we'll practice in the yard.
Maverick's new thing is climbing up into the recliner. This time he just happened to have a book-don't let him fool you, he looked at it for about 2 seconds. At least it's a start!
This is a tribute to Jesse's grandma-you're not the only one who cuts heads off in pictures. Jesse does a really good job at it too!!
A rare picture of Maverick and me.
So, the other night before bed, I though I'd get some snapshots. Maverick has obviously figured out that he's supposed to make some kind of face when the camera comes out, but he hasn't quite figured out which one. This one is cute, but...
Can we say, "Cheesy?"
Cheesier??
