MoA Birthday...

We had Alex's annual Mall of America birthday trip the day after his birthday.  First stop was Hooters:

 

The waitresses had him dance on his chair, he loved it!

We went to Legoland after to spend some of his birthday money.  So glad to keep up with his tradition!

Sprouting, continued....

Here's another found picture:

Andy took this to show how tall Alex is getting.  We're thinking he'll be as tall as me by summer!  He's growing up so fast, I just got a paper from school for a meeting of next year's 5th grade parents - 5th grade, wow, where did that come from?!  Wasn't he just a kindergartner last week?

 

 

Sprouting up....

I found this photo of Alex and Max from Easter.  We spent the afternoon with Max and his family, such a great day!

Alex and Max have been friends since preschool, they are the same age, Alex is 1 month older than Max (and quite a lot taller!).

 

Other things sprouting up here:

I read on Pinterest (where else!), that you can put your green onions in water and the greens will grow back.   Sure enough, I snip some when I need it and it grows more!
