It dawned on me that tomorrow's March and I haven't put a single post on here for 2010. That's pathetic.
I have no defense. I will get on it. After I do the laundry, pay the bills, clean and get ready for a Disney show at the Patriot Center.
Better luck tomorrow. But at least I'll be thinking about it. Oh and my links to my photos are tanked, I gotta fix that. I think perhaps I should hire some techy to do this for me......nah. I'll get to it.

Allison's many faces and highly skilled parenting
The other night at dinner, we were trying to occupy Allison so Brent and I could talk about our day, but she wasn't having it. She brought us in some snow globes and started posing for my camera that was sitting on the kitchen table. I just grabbed it in typical parental paparazzi fashion and started snappin'! I then requested specific poses--happy face, sad face and mad face.
We continued to be entertained by Allison's antics until she decided to hit the snow globes together. It was one of those moments--I'm thinking, "She really shouldn't be doing that, it's going to break"--over and over in my head. No action was taken in that matter, instead I ended up continuing to take photos. Low and behold, it broke. Not good parenting at all, but at least I caught it on film.

Oh the weather outside is frightful.........
We endured a huge snowstorm this weekend and cabin fever has set in! We got over 20 inches of snow at the house and Brent spent all day Saturday shoveling at intervals. He would shovel for a little bit, it would quickly collect and then he was back out shoveling again. Allison and I decided to brave the elements and join in on some fun with Daddy. We made snow angels, sprayed the snow with food coloring and had buggy rides. Then we ventured to the back yard and played on the swingset. That by far was the most fun since going down the slide resulted in a big pile of snow! We came back in and drank our hot chocolate and dried off and then spent the rest of the day watching the snow collect.
Sunday, we dug out and played some more. We also met our friends Tony and Aubry for lunch at Allison's favorite place! It was nice to get outside and actually leave our house. Monday the government was closed so Brent stayed home with us and we played some more. This time we stayed exclusively in the backyard and played on the swingset and even Bailey was acting like a younger version of himself and playing in the snow. So fun. I venture to think that by Christmas, it will just be a big mess. Although I imagine the surgeons I work with are very excited to start treating a variety of fractures, dislocations and tears!

Seat drops
Allison took another session of gymnastics at Cardinal gym in Burke this fall. She did fantastic! By far her greatest achievement was mastering her seat drops on the trampoline. She just all of a sudden got it! Below is the video of her achievement and you can hear Miss Elena saying "very gooood" in the background :)
