These are just a couple pictures Alex wanted to take of himself because he thinks the camera is the coolest! Today we had a visit from an unwelcome character who decided to rip open our cruddy cushion for her nest. There is no shortage of squirrels in our yard and they are becoming a little too comfortable for our liking. We were getting new cushions anyway so it's not too tragic - our only hope is that this doesn't happen with the new ones too!
In conjunction with all the other excitment on Friday, Sam and I went to our big ultrasound appointment and got our first look at the new peanut. He/she looks perfect! We told the radiologist that we didn't want to know the sex, so it's still a surprise to us all!
On Wednesday afternoon we had the ultimate pleasure of experiencing a water main break which resulted in no water pressure and a pond in our front yard. The town came and shut off our water so we went without for about 24 hours and then we got hooked up to the neighbor and it was wonderful. Dig Safe came on Thursday and the plumber came on Friday and replaced the pipe so by 4pm Friday we were back in business and better than ever. Alex was having a wonderful time watching them dig up the yard and also has enjoyed playing in the giant pile of sand leftover. I took some before/after pictures and they actually ended up in the middle of the line up, but you can figure it out. It was impressive to watch and they did a great job so all in all it wasn't as terrible as it seemed initially, but then again, most things never are!
Grandma came to visit and brought Alex a new Thomas train set! He LOVES it and can't get enough of it. Thanks Grandma!!!!!
We had such great weather last weekend that we were outside all day playing with the summer toys and all the neighbors. Alex could finally reach the pedal on his truck so he tried it out and was having a blast. He didn't quite get the hang of it yet and ended up crashing into a few things and drove himself into the bushes, but he was having fun. He also has a new hat!
At 6:30 this morning, Alex decided to play construction worker. He looks very handsome in his hardhat! Mommy hadn't had coffee yet so she's not looking as perky. Alex is making that face at me again so I don't think he thought I looked very good in the hat.
Alex and Daddy were having fun yesterday while I made dinner. Alex loves tunnels and tents and was having a great time!
We were having margarita's the other night with dinner (mine was virgin!) and Alex decided he wanted the lime and was having fun with it - he ate it too! Oh, and can you tell Mommy gave him a haircut???
Daddy is making a vain attempt at actually growing grass in our sand pit of a yard, but it is always fun to play in the dirt! Between the rake and the tractor, we should get a nice crop this summer.
