You’ll never guess what Alex had for a snack today…..
Alex
Alex is playing with his black-eyed peas. When I asked how many he had his reply was to hold up both hands.
“Mom, let’s play cars.”
Alex convinced us to let him take a nap in our bed.
An Alex-sized car wash.
I came out of my room this afternoon to find Alex engrossed in his latest library book.
(Remind anyone of this picture?)
Superhero Alex.
(He informed me he was Batman.)
Alex and his favorite bucket at Hoyt Pool – because it has Tinker bell.
(I have no idea how he even knows who Tinker bell is.)
Alex is definitely my son. Nothing makes us happier than Mexican chips.
My Dad texted some video of his new quarry. Alex has watched the dump trucks load the barges over and over and over.
Cranes. Cranes. Cranes.
(Alex’s newest obsession.)

Flying the helicopter!
Alex insisted this was a puzzle and he was working it.
Last soccer practice of the season.
“Mom, I can’t go to bed. The kids have to go to school.”
Alex wasn’t so sure about my run today (especially the part where I got dirty), but he was content to ride in his wagon and cheer me on.
Alex was quite adamant about needing a band-aid for his scraped elbow.
(The fact that we couldn’t get to the band-aid for several hours was irrelevant.)
Alex’s current favorite food is salad.
He even asked for it as dessert a few weeks ago.
Alex calls this “barefooting”
Backyard sprinkler fun.
Can you find Alex and Abram?
(They are the only two holding hands.)
Alex was REALLY excited to open my Mother’s Day presents.
Alex and I played with my Transformers from childhood. Sadly there was one I had to look up online to figure out how to transform (Bumblebee – when he was a VW beetle).

Alex loves to give kisses.
These two just look like trouble.
One of those days….
