ALEX THIS WEEK

Look out, it's Spiderman!


My newest project (started Feb 4th) is growing an avocado tree.  I will continue to update with pictures-it's actually growing really fast and is bigger than the picture below, taken on 29 June.  I just started my second tree, which is recommended for cross pollination.  These little trees will be moving with us for years to come because it takes up to 4 years to produce fruit!  Stay tuned for the avacado updates...








Alex loves his gladiator costume from Grammy and has finally warmed up to it.  He says it's his costume to "get the bad guys."

CRAZY HAIR DAY

The summer program started at Alex's daycare this past week and they are doing lots of fun stuff...bounce houses,field trips, water play days, show and tell days, etc.  On Thursday, it was "Crazy Hair Day."  Amber does a good job of checking the summer program counselor and she did an AWESOME job on his hair.  She took Alex to the party store and they bought colored hair spray earlier in the week.  She showed me and I said it was great, but not to let him watch in the mirror as she did it b/c he might not like it at first.  This is from an email she sent me since I didn't get to see her Thursday afternoon:

"He was VERY excited for it this morning...until he saw it on his head. He was crying that it was too crazy so I let him put some in my hair (both colors) to show him it was okay. He calmed down when I explained it was kind of like Halloween, where everyone at school would have crazy hair too and that it will come out in the bath. I took a few pictures. He was being a little ham this morning not wanting to smile so I did the best I could. Some pictures show how his hair looked.
I have a feeling that he'll want to do it again, one of the girls in his class saw him and said "Oh Alex, I LOVE your hair!" He immediately ran to the mirror with the "yeah, I'm a babe" look. Too funny!"

 The girls turned in at 1am (Jen and I) and the guys stayed out until 5am...yikes!  The only "evidence" of the guy time is Marc riding the mechanical bull.  I don't think he's the next Urban Cowboy!
