Happy Feet

It would appear that Alex enjoyed his day!

All three of us are really enjoying the weekend as a matter of fact. The weather couldn't be better, we're just staying around the house, but I recently learned that due to gas prices, so many people are staying home on vacations and long weekends that it has it's own term - a "staycation". Somehow knowing that makes me feel like I'm doing something hip and trendy, and that makes me feel better about staying home all weekend.

We've got a few projects we're working on, mostly outside, all of them broken into small chunks and frequently interrupted by trips as a family to Home Depot, or to Als for creemies. We've accomplished a lot, but I haven't been this relaxed in months, and we've still got one whole day left.

Here's a couple more pics of Alex that I took on the cell phone today.

Alex and I went on a big 1.5 mile tricicle ride this afternoon,
with a 30 minute stop at Jaycee Park. along the way.

Alex making himself right at home and enjoying some free
popocorn during a quick trip to the local hardware store.

This is Alex, mowing the lawn.

No, he's not really mowing the lawn, but he did
push the broken lawn moweraround a little bit while
I was trying to fix the other broken lawn mower.
It's pretty heavy actually - he's a strong kid!
