Memorial Day

We had our first really warm day of the season. Alex and I worked in the yard, went for bike rides and he played in the water and I took pictures of the yard. Alex had fun making a lake in the back yard.



























Todd's Birthday

Todd had to work on his birthday so we had presents and cake before school. He had candles on a coffee cake and an icecream cake.

Alex and Sam

T

This week we picked up Dad's cat's. We will babysit them. Alex is loving it. Sam is doing good. He is letting Alex pet and brush him. The other is still under the bed. We are not used to cats so big. Scamp was so small. These are huge.

Homework

Alex had to build something out of toothpicks and marshmallows for his math homework. He built a house, swing set and sandbox. But I think he ate more than he built.









Easter 2008

Easter morning Alex got up and have to find his basket. That silly bunny hid it on him.

Alex had to wear jeans to church. I had two pairs of dress pants that he wore at Christmas and they were to small. I never even thought to see if they still fit. We can blame that on tax season.


After church we went outside to play for a bit. The yard was once again covered with snow from the storm on Friday.


After dinner Alex and Todd went on an egg hunt in the front yard.

Cookies and eggs

With St Patty's day and Easter so close this year, Alex and I prepared for both on the same Sunday. We made some shamrock cookies for his classroom and then colored some eggs for home. I am now all out of green sprinkles.

Alex likes to help in the kitchen. He had to touch the egg pot because he did not believe me whtn I said it was not hot yet. Notice that not all the eggs made it into the pot. He said that it was just an "accident" that it got broke. I also made him change his shirt before we dyed the eggs. Good move on mom's part.
