Father's Day

Happy Father's Day - a little late. My mom flew back with Alec and I from Sanibel, so we have had company for the last 10 days and been a little blog neglectful. Anyway - we had a wonderful Father's Day and Alec loved getting to spend it with Matt, who is hands down his favorite person in the entire world. Matt truly is a wonderful, devoted, hands-on Dad and Alec and I both feel so lucky to have him.

The boys - Alec continues to look more and more like Matt. They make a ton of similar facial expressions, which actually catch me off guard sometimes b/c Alec will make a face that is a spitting image of his dad.

And the highlight of Alec's Father's Day - trash duty. Alec is 100% obsessed with the trash. We spend an inordinate amount of time with trash related activities over here. Alec's favorite things to do right now all revolve around trash. He loves to go from room to room in the house dumping out the cans and collecting all the trash into his various trash/recycle trucks, he loves watching for the trash trucks and talking about them constantly, he loves to pull out every single trash can in the garage and move them around in our yard, and he loves trash day. He tells me every week about how the trash men come on Mondays, and we pretty much spend half of every Monday talking about and analyzing all the trash that is put out on the streets. He will literally walk from house to house telling me how many trash cans/recycle cans/Home Depot bags (the paper lawn bags) each person has out and about which have been picked up already and which haven't. It's pretty nuts and kind of a strange obsession, but what can we do. The boy likes his trash! So - Father's Day was extra special for Alec b/c it fell on trash take-out day, one of his absolute favorites.

Dumping trash from one can into another is a huge area of interest - he does it all over the house. My mom thought it was pretty hilarious that the trash in her room was dumped out, moved around and sorted on a daily basis.

Alec will turn this giant can over onto its wheels and move it all over the yard. He usually takes it to and from the curb on his own, but since it was Father's Day and all - he let Matt help.

and some races

What better way to celebrate Dad and Father's Day than with some trash. We love you Matt!
