Thursday, June 1
We got to hang out with Mav on this day. He wanted to enjoy some applesauce on the patio. He likes the furniture and new set up. :)
Mav said, "I like that new trash can. I'm going to go check it out." :) It has a little lock on the lid so I showed him how to use it. He caught on and thought it was pretty nifty. :) He loves his green picnic table, too. It folds up flat so can be taken to the fair. I like that a lot!
Ha, poor kid kept telling me he wanted jelly. I said, "peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" He said, "no peanut butter, just jelly." I said I wasn't going to let him eat just plain jelly - that wasn't very good for him. He slumped in his chair and huffed a bit. Then he walked into the mud room and spotted the new box of jello fruit cups. THAT is what he wanted! JellO!! Sorry bud, yes you can have that! :D
He was quite happy that I finally 'got it'. :D
About this time the Fed Ex lady arrived and Mav and I walked around to see her. We stood and watched and Mav was carefully checking out all the packages inside the truck with great interest. He spotted a tire and started asking me about it.
Grandma, is that a tire??
Yes, it sure looks like it.
Why is there a tire in there?
That is a good question. I don’t know. Someone must have ordered a tire?
Then he hollered up at the lady -
Why is there a tire in there?
The lady said, “someone ordered it”
He then asked, is there a tractor that goes with it??
:D Always thinking that guy!
I was heading out to meet Anne for lunch so took Mav back to the fellas in the backyard.
It was time to add more water to the water tank!!
Mav now has a full water tank and is set to work on the farm! Boy, we need a lot of water in that water tank this summer, for sure!
We babysat Maverick again on this day. Always love having him here. He wanted to go downstairs and play with the train set. He often ends up playing with the two spinning tops on that train table. He handed me the small one and told me to spin it, then he started spinning his larger one. He loves them and is so good at spinning them. Great little toys, for sure!
Again - he switches from his right hand to his left hand - all the time!

| that face! :D |
Then we worked together on driving trains around the track. He instructed me to drive it on my side then I would hand it off to hi when it got to his side. :)
Pretty soon he was off to other toys. He pulled out his old cash register and used to 'call me'. I picked up on my cell phone and we chatted a bit before he said 'bye'. :D
Then it was upstairs and out to the sand box. He had to unload stuff to be able to get in and stretch his legs out. :)
He does love playing in the sand!
Jackson was taking Brooks and Roxie out to the field. I wish I had photos of it, but Brooks, just like Maverick, climbed right up on top of that first rock pile. It cracked me up! Little ones are the same all over. Especially the little 'stud' ones. :D

| Brooks following along pretty well. |

| Mav was intently watching his Dad with the horses. |
Mav drove around on
his new tractor for awhile. He loves to go zooming down that little hill there by the new barn.
Then to the back yard. I love seeing the new patio! It looks so good!
 |
| ha! Just like Brooks! :D |
This was after lunch. We invited Grandpa Jack to join us. Jackson was laying out on the floor before heading back out to work. Mav quietly enjoying the rest of his Dad's Sprite. :D
