Carol sent us home from St. Louis with various herb plants. I've been tending to them, often watering on the way between the car and the house going to and from work, and Alex would comment on "Mommy's plants." Well, after this weekend they are now "Alex and Mommy's plants" because Alex helped me pick some basil and mint this weekend and has been helping me water the plants. He now makes sure that we check on them every time we are out back. Maybe the green thumb gene has passed to Alex, even though it skipped me.
(The computer at home is on the fritz, so we can't upload the pictures for this post. Maybe we can supplement later.)

Big Truck Outside
A couple of weeks ago, the house next to ours was torn down and a new house is being built. Alex has had so much fun watching the construction and destruction, although his favorite part is all the interesting trucks that have been part of the process. "Big truck outside" has been a constant refrain around the house. Sadly, the concrete mixer arrived today just after Alex went down for his nap, so he's probably going to miss that one.

That's Our Boy!
Alex was playing in a sandbox this weekend and got in his own way when dumping out of a pail of sand. Surprisingly, it did not seem to bother him at all to have sand stuck to his face. I must confess that Dave and I had a difficult time stifling our laughter.
