Alexbot

Alex wrote this gem for school this week. It is so Alex.

I would make a robot that can go to school for me. Then I could stay at home and watch TV all day. He could go to bed when my mom and dad tell him to and I could stay up late. It could do my chores for me. He could do my homework for me. He could do all my math test for me. His name would be named Alexbot.

Soccer Season Comes to an End

Alex had a great soccer season. He has shown a

lot of improvement since August. His team played

in 2 playoff games and then made it to the

championship game. They didn't win the

final game, but they gave it a good try.

Aw Shucks

I'm taking my fourth graders on a field trip to a

farm called Aw Shucks in Monroe so I decided

to preview it with the family.

We roamed around in the corn maze.

We fed the sheep.

Lindsay loved those sheep!

Alex taught Lindsay how to milk a cow.

We went on a tractor ride.

This is Lindsay trying to escape, Alex making

a cheesy smile, and me trying to get a decent

picture with my kids.

Maybe next time.

Roses

The best thing we ever planted were these

rose bushes. They provide color from the spring

to the fall. They are still going strong in

early November.
They apparently taste good too!

Misc pictures

Nothing new or extremely exciting to report here, but I haven't

posted anything for awhile so I thought I would

share some random pictures.

The weather turned cold and the sweaters

came out.

Alex is becoming increasingly useful as he gets older.

Alex lost a front tooth and swallowed it while eating a corn dog at school.
We never retrieved it.

Lindsay still loves to get into things.

Buddy Walk 2009

This weekend we attended our second annual

Buddy Walk which raises money for the

Down Syndrome Association of Charlotte.

Dad entertained Lindsay by playing with

water. She ended up soaked, but happy!

Lindsay enjoyed a yummy snack.

With no nap, Lindsay was exhausted by the time the walk actually started.

This team picture has Nana in it:)

Tinker Bell

We bought this Halloween costume at a store as a possibility

for Lindsay this year. We decided to take it back because she would

freeze while trick-or-treating..

She loved the skirt. Lindsay danced and twirled around the room.

Notice the cheesy smile again! She will now say "cheese"

while getting her picture taken. It's very cute, but she makes

the silliest face!
