Left 4 Dead Dance

Left 4 Dead, an intense zombie game, not appropriate for children. Except our child who, for some reason, loves to dance to the music that comes on after you close the door to the safe room. Allison was helping me with dinner last night and every time they made it to a safe room she would run out of the kitchen and dance. I finally got it on film. She is a little delayed but, she applauds herself when she is done.

The Night the Lights Went Out

Power was out last night. It sucked. It was boring. Everyone was bored, even Allison. With the lights out and no video games blaring in the background it is hard to find something to do. We made dinner in the dark, ate in the dark, gave Allison her bath in the dark (I had to shine the light in her face to make sure I got all the spaghetti sauce off, she smeared it all over her face and hair).

Scott and I were glancing at some magazines and Allison decided she wasn't going to be ignored so she did this.


If you can't guess what's coming next, brace yourself for the shocking conclusion...







Here's a close up if you couldn't tell what was going on.


Instead of making her get down to a safe level I ran and got the camera, because people, I have to show all of you on the internet what an adventerous kid I have.

She climbed up there all by herself, she wasn't sitting in it, if thats what you are thinking. We have decided we are going to put it out back and use it as a jungle gym.


To top it off
Here's a quote from Allison
"It really sucks eating in the dark, I mean really, who wants to eat something you can't see. I would rather rub it all over myself."

5 Things

Five things that went on this weekend. I was going to do ten but, I couldn't think of that many. It's too rainy and cold to think and I am sleepy and just want to cuddle up and rest. So 5 will have to do.

1. Allison likes marshmallows but only if they are melted and in smores...never whole...eeeewwww
2. Being this good looking can get you anything you want, she got a pink piggy bank from one of the ladies at our bank.


3. The best thing in the world, Allison has discovered is a screen door. She spent most of Saturday night playing with the screen door at a dinner we went to.


4. Vintage toys rock. Especially when you run as fast as you can dragging it behind you...it's so fun & it makes noise when you do it...alot of noise.


5. Climbing on tables with a dress on is only ok if you are a toddler, if I did it people might start tipping me


Hope everyone had a great weekend.

A Leg Up, so to Speak

Dinner last night was interesting. We were still eating when Allison finished so she decided to entertain herself. We were cracking up.



Enjoy the weekend.

Winterizing

I have been going through Allison's clothes and packing away summer stuff and things she has out grown. I found a few jackets and tried one of them on her, just adorable.



I love fall and winter. I started decorating for Halloween a bit and have decorated our room for fall/winter season. Next, we move on to Allison's room and finish that up. Then to the living room/dining room. I have big plans for that room. Something totally different that won't cost any money.

Alright, enough talking here are a few pictures to get you through the weekend. Scott has to work this weekend so who knows what trouble Allison and I will get into but we will be sure to let you know!!!

Don't Bother Me

I forgot to post this yesterday. It goes to show you that independence or locking ones self in the bathroom is right around the corner. I just hope I remember where the key is.

sorry for the quality, didn't have time to flip on the light

I Am Published

Well, yesterday I mentioned that I will be contributing to a blog...I was wrong, it was a website, and they are going to be publishing my article!!!
We had play group today and it was fun. Allison and I were the only ones to show up today, one of the other moms couldn't make it, oh well, next week.
The group leader is also looking for someone to take over as group leader and I am really thinking about it but, with this new writing thing I am not sure I will have the time. I am really looking forward to hosting play group at my house though, I love entertaining and it will be fun when it's my turn.

Alright now for some Allison stuff.




had to post this one again for daddy
BOOM HEAD SHOT!!!!


She has claimed the love seat as her own.




I hope all of you have a wonderful day
