Allergies

My seasonal allergies are back with a vengeance. It seems too soon to be feeling this way, but then I checked the yard and sure enough about 30 of our bulbs are coming up so Spring really is coming. Yesterday my headache finally progressed to migraine status and I was miserable until bed time. I feel some better this morning but will definitely be breaking down and buying some of the expensive over the counter allergy meds today.

Deceiving

He looks innocent enough right? This picture almost makes up for the dog hair and endless chewing....

MIA

Where is everybody? When I first started blogging it seemed like there was an abundance of blogs to read. People updated, commented, and posted pictures often. It seems to have tapered off a bit. Some of the blogs I used to love haven't updated in weeks. Some bloggers have so many blogs that none of them are really that interesting anymore. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Is anyone even out there?

What Winter??

I was going through my recent archives and made a surprising discovery. This is the first year that I have not spent a great deal of time whining about how much I hate winter. Am I finally getting used to it? Did I just not have enough time to write about my loathing? Has it just not hit me yet? I can honestly say it's probably a little bit of all of those reasons.

A part of me has just accepted winter for what it is. It's cold, bitter, long, and dark. As much as it drives me nuts I think I've finally realized it's only temporary. We've also been much busier this year. The girls are older. We've had basketball and gymnastics. We've also managed to attend church on a regular basis. There has definitely not been much time to mope. Now that February is coming to a close I'm wondering if I'll get the dreaded "cabin fever" that usually plagues me each year. Who knows, maybe I just got lucky this year.

I can certainly say that I'm excited for spring. The flowers, the clothes, the weather. For whatever reason I'm just thankful that this winter has been bearable. Maybe I'm starting a new trend...

A Great Season

Saturday was Chiggie's last basketball game. I'm thrilled that we have our lives back but a little bummed at the same time. She had so much fun. The season finished off with a party complete with trophies!

Party

A birthday's not a birthday without a party right? So today Midge enjoyed rollerskating and dinner at a local pizza place. It's a safe bet we'll all sleep good tonight.

A rare shot of all 4 right before the skating began.

Midge was very pleased with her skating abilities. Chiggie is an awesome skater and pretty cute too.

Tea thought the party was rockin'.
Boo thought the coolest thing was her glow necklace.
Midge picked out a pretty loud cake.

Fun
