I Do LOVE a Monday:)

I will be the first to admit that I am a little backwards when it comes to some things--I love an early night, and I will always be a morning person.  But, I also love Mondays:)  I'm off on Mondays, and it's my little recoup from the weekend.  This Monday was no exception--we spent our Sunday in Knoxville welcoming our newest Alexander addition, Little Mr. Brady Clint, and we were all pooped!

Max and his cousin, Chase, had a great Sunday playing!  I think EVERYONE involved had a good night's sleep!

Meet Mr. Brady Clint Alexander....I swear this is the sweetest, most mild mannered baby I have ever been around.  And he's a pretty phenomenal cuddle partner, too:)

I treated myself to two venti skinny lattes from Starbucks and banished myself to my computer to do some photo editing while the men in my house got their beauty sleep.  Max and I met the Cathey's for some time at the park after breakfast and we ended the day with soccer practice and Chick-Fil-a. 

I have laughed and laughed at Max's imagination today.  He came barreling in the back door after being in the yard this morning completely convinced that "somepin was out there!"  I'm not used to seeing Max Dillard scared, so the questions started coming...."and, Mama, it scared me to deaf!"  He imitated the noise over and over to me all day--we troubleshooted the sound with all the options...the neighbors' dogs, the wind, squirrels.  Nothing.  And then he had a great idea--Max is convinced that we have a honey badger living in our backyard.  Yes, a honey badger.  Google it!  And, I kid you not, I have heard about this honey badger for 36 hours.

Thank you PBS for your educational entertainment, but Wild Kratts has officially become a thorn in my side. I can't seem to make him understand that honey badgers do not live in Tennessee...or I'm pretty sure in North America.  This one is going to take some creativity to squash.  Stay tuned:)
