an alex update...

Some phone photos of my boy's Wednesday this week.

With all of the fuss about Clara's spirit week, Alex decided to have Beatles Hair Day yesterday...
He decided to brush it all down so he looked more "mop top-ish".

When I picked him up from school, he was carrying this to show me...
He was one of about 15 people in his school who were given this award yesterday. About a month ago (I think), they had to do a project based on a hero within our community. Alex chose the youth pastor from church and did his project on him. They turned in their project for a grade, but they were also given to the ward alderman to judge. It was the alderman who picked the recipients for this award! He was pretty excited and proud!!! (and so was mom!)

This week is "boss level" at school. During boss level, the kids work with their homebases to complete a complex task. It's a lot of fun, but can also be very taxing. To release some pent up energy, they are also having a "march madness" kickball tournament. And this is what Alex's knees looked like after Wednesday's games...No holes though!! :-)

This last photo has nothing to do with Alex, it's just the Mango pup and her new favorite perch...
She has decided that she can see out the window much better if she's propped up on the top of my head!

  1. Well done to Alex on his award! (BTW I hope you're teaching him to do his own laundry lol!)
