Max's Determination

Max has something on his mind once again. He is determined to get a little motorcycle and is driving us crazy asking about it every 5 minutes. We keep telling him that if he wants something he has to work hard and earn it. All weekend he has been busy working around the house asking what he can do to earn some more money. This morning at about 7:00 a.m. Jason and I pulled up to our house after being at the Gym and we found Max out in our front yard all by himself pulling weeds. It was very cold out but he didn't seem to mind, all he could think about was that motorcycle. The cutest part was... that it wasn't long until his sisters woke up and saw him out working. They wanted to help him weed so he could earn his money faster. Max, I hope you keep that determination always!!! I could use a good gardner around here.

How sweet is that - the girls wanted to help so he could get more money. I kept thinking about the bicycle story here (you know, the way too often told story from Robinson's book). What good kids you have!

Could your kids be any cuter and more perfect? You have the cutest little family and the story about Max and the girls helping is just amazing. So you better just go out and buy the motorcycle aleady! Jason probably alreay has. Your blog is so cute and I love Emily as a blond for her dance competition.

WOW he is on Determinated little Man! How sweet is it that Abby joined in on the fun! The photo of the 2 of them is Darling! They look like Twins! Abby's hair is so long and Max has 2 front teeth again. Kade is still toothless, I'm prayng teeth will soon come in... you know the Thompson teeth he could poss. be toothless... SCARY! We miss you.. Kick up your feet and put him to work. Get him on the laundry.. cooking dinner, the dishes. You could get a nice vacation. Good Luck Max. Keep up the hard work!

I love that Max has caught the dirtbike fever. I like spring because there are so many things they can do to keep them busy working outside. Truxton has been saving for almost a year now and keeps asking if he has enough money. They work hard when there's a goal in mind. My entire back garden has been tilled and weeded thanks to my 2 boys. Keep up the hard work Max!!

Although I am impressed with Max, I am not surprised, we all know that kid is destined for sainthood. What impresses me is that you were at the gym before
7:00 am on a Saturday. WOW!
