The Allison Weekly -- Week of 9/7/2009

This week was a vast improvement from Labor Day weekend. Everyone is well again, the 'Noles won (barely), and we had a productive week overall.

Highlights of the weekend:
Logan has discovered Guitar Hero and immediately surpassed my skill level. He eats, sleeps, and breathes video games. After much discussion about the various types of video game consoles available, the boys have decided to "save" their money to buy a Wii. We thought this to be a better option than just asking Santa nicely for it and it's turning out to be a quite a good lesson for them to learn the value of a dollar, how to save. And also how to declutter and sell stuff we no longer need on Craiglist. That's just the way the Allison's roll, you know. So far, we've sold $80 of unwanted crap on Craigslist and counting. At this rate, we'll have our Wii in no time. But if you know me well, then you know that I can't pass up a good deal, and the rumor is that they will be on sale at Walmart at the beginning of October. Stay tuned.


Keegan wants to use a bowl like the big kids. This is how that's working out for us...


More teething.

More video games.

And here, Keegan has decided he wants to sit in a big kid chair like the rest of the family. Despite using the bowls with the suction cups on the bottom, Keegan always finds a way to break the suction, dump the bowl, and spread the food contents all over the table. When he's done eating (or if he doesn't like what you're serving) he throws his food on the floor. Life is good when you're one. He can always just stare at me with a blank look on his face like he doesn't know why I'm mad at him and all will be forgiven.
