Happy 8th Birthday...

Alex turned 8 on March 16! It was an exciting day, so much so that we didn't get around to cake until the next day! (He had cookies at school on his birthday, then Mall of America that night, so we were "done" by time we got home - plus, it's so fun to stretch out birthday celebrations into multiple days!) Alex wanted an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, which had no cake at all in it, it was just ice cream, oreos and fudge - YUM! Making a wish:

He got a motorized scooter:

He also got tons of Legos, some video games and some cool Bakugans. Cannot believe my baby's 8, but he's lovin it!

Another Belt...

Alex had another Taekwondo belt testing: He loves the self defense part:

Love this one:

All of the red stripes on his old belt are honor stripes, he had so many, he earned a free class for friends complete with a pizza party. He already has 3 on his new belt, he works hard to earn them, so proud of him!

Spring Break...

I got a temporary, long-term sub job (that doesn't make much sense does it? I'm working the same position, but on a week-by-week basis while my student is going through special ed testing), but working full time sure does cut into my blogging time!

So Alex and I are both on spring break this week, but we're going to be busy - science museum, King Tut exhibit, Chuck E Cheese, The Works, a movie with our normal night time activities (karate, Sparks, Alex's dinner with dad).

Because I cannot blog without a photo, here's my man of many hats (the boy LOVES headgear!).

Thanks for stopping by!
