Easter Day

Easter Morning Alex got up early and ran down stairs to get his Easter Basket. Once again that silly bunny left one for the family on the dining room table but Alex's was gone. He came up and showed us what we got in ours and then back down he went to look for his. Not long into the search we could hear. "I found it" "The bunny left me OPEN SEASON 2!!!!!!" He was so happy.
Alex and his first tulip. What a ham he is. the mess under his eye is looking pretty good here. He was trying to break a branch in half like his Uncle Mark. As you can see the branch won.

We had the kids down the street over for an Egg hunt. They had to wait on the front porch and by ages they could run to the backyard and start hunting for eggs.

A great day for the hunt. Sunny and dry !!!!

The little kids haul.

The rule was I needed the eggs back for next year. So they are here cracking them and taking out their treats.

4-9 Night time egg hunt

Howell has this cool activity at Easter time. They have a Marshmallow drop and then a night time egg hunt. This year the drop was done off a roof. they that two guys up on the roof tossing off hadfulls of marshmallows. The kids down below had to try and find the special colored one to get a prize. Alex got lots of marshmallows but no colores ones. Then they moved over to the soccer field for the egg hunt with flash lights. It was a hundred kids running around picking up plastic eggs. Alex had a blast. I was out on the field and Dad sat up in the stands watching.

Alex in grey sweats and blue coat.

Flowers !!!

On Thursday I got the nicest surprise. The girls up front buzzed my office and asked me to come up to the front desk. Since they did not say what client was there I assumed that it was my Dad. (Todd at work and Alex at school). But no it was the flower delivery man. It was really nice surprise. And the bright colors are a nice change from the dull yellow of my clients envelopes. When I told Alex I got flowers he asked if I brought them home to look at. I said not this time since I was spening more time at the office than at home. The card says it all. Hang in there, Yep only 2 more weeks !!!!!

The desk looks clean. But look a all the files on the floor and piled on the counter. Each one is a client that I am working on.

I am so busy, we have two monitors for my computer.

3-28-09 Alex's first phone call

I walked in the door an Friday night. Alex came running to greet me. "Brian called me !!!! Brian called me!!!"
What????? "Mom I gave him my number and he called me!!!" You would have thought it was Ed McMann telling him that he just won something. Todd said the phone ran and a little voice asked for Alex S. So he handed the phone over to Alex. They chated for a few minutes and then they hung up. He was so happy. It was his first official non family member phone call. My little boy is growing up..

3-22 Playdate

Since Alex has been so good this year with tax season, he got a special treat this Sunday. I had made arrangements with his friends mom to have a playdate. So we went to the mall and visited with the Easter Bunny, Then to the Castle park for some outside fun. Then they played a bit of Wii, Everyone had a good time.

You can barely see Alex's head in this one.

The bell tower.

3-12-09 Music concert

Alex had their Choir concert last night. I went straight from work. I got there in time to do a quick check of Alex's outfit. Clean jeans, shirt tucked in, tie on, clean face. ok he was ready to go. So I run back and sit down with Dad and Todd. A few minutes latter in walk the Kindergarteners. What happened? Tie in hand, shirt hanging out... oh well you gotta love um. It was really cute. Took about 1/2 hour. Alex is on top stair in the yellow area.

Bless him he did try and put it back on....

pick me.... pick me...

The did a song about the rainbow. Alex was purple.

Alex and the snow

Alex was a big help with the snow this winter. This is not a grainy picture. It is still snowing and he wanted to go out and shovel. More power to ya kid. These pic's were taken late Feb.
