Lowe's = Big Fun!

Snuggled Up!

Yesterday, Alex wanted to watch his Thomas video in our room.  I put it on and walked out of the room for a minute.  When I came back, he had pulled all the pillows together and was all snuggled up in there watching his Thomas!  Choo, choo!

Alex ♥'s Girl Scout Cookies!

Shootin' Some Hoops with Pop!

Pants Optional

Alex and I flew to Houston for the weekend.  I was really dreading flying with him because the last couple of times he has not been very well behaved.  He proved me wrong this time and was amazingly good!  I had a lot of activities for him....a new book, new stickers and colors, some M&Ms, and of course the iPad!  The distractions worked like a charm and we made it there and back without any major meltdowns.

Besides him acting great, we did run into one little problem.  I am always overly prepared for situations (Girl Scout Motto:  Be Prepared!), but somehow I did not end up with an extra pair of clothes for him in my carry-on.  Of course, that means this was the time that he chose to pee out his diaper!  Ugh!  When we got to the gate to wait for our flight, I let him out of the stroller and realized he was soaking wet.  I had to take off the wet pants, so he ended up running around with nothing but a diaper for the rest of the flight.  Luckily, they were pretty dry by the time we made it to chilly Houston!

Stroller Wars 2011!

For my fellow mommy friends...if you are ever bored with your little one, here's some entertainment!  We had accumulated several strollers in the back of the car, so we were cleaning things out.  It ended up that Alex and I both took one stroller.  Then, we rammed them into each other in true little boy style!  I actually ended up having as much fun as him.  He's such a silly guy these days!!

The boy loves to be outside!

Havin' some fun on his slide!

Backpack!

I realize I put a lot of pictures of Alex ready for school in the morning on here, but he's just so cute when he's ready to go!  This quite possibly is my new favorite picture of him.  It captures him so well....if only you could hear him saying "go, go, go" too!  This picture is also up to commemorate that he has a new word...BACKPACK!  I credit that to him having the cutest backpack ever! :)

Cutie Pie!

In the afternoons, Alex and I usually go for a little walk around the neighborhood trying to get out some energy.  He recently discovered this little bench a couple houses down.  (They work all the time, so I don't feel too bad letting him sit on their bench!)  It's just his size, so he loves to sit on it.  He is still obsessed with balls, so he of course had one to throw around on our walk....tragedy struck though and it fell down the sewer!  He was not a happy guy. :(

Why??

Why, oh why, must he put everything up his nose?

And, an even bigger why....

why must he put it up my nose when he gets bored with his own?? 

Crayons....for lunch??

It's a rainy, yucky day so I decided to let Alex color like a big boy.  He liked that he had an "Eh-mo" (aka Elmo) to color, but before I knew it all he wanted to do was eat the crayons!
