Makeup Time!

Allison loves anything "adult". She wants to be grown up so badly and she's only 2 1/2. Once in a great while, I'll give her a little makeover. We did pretty good this time - a little bit of an issue with the mascara, but I thought she looked pretty cute (her dad does NOT enjoy this - I think he's already stressing about having a teenager). Doesn't she look pretty? Well, I was feeling a little crazy, and decided to let her put on her own makeup. She was SO excited!
But I think she may have gotten a little bit out of control!
Yikes!
Nothing a quick trip to the bath and a few wet wipes can't fix. It's worth it to see her having so much fun. We just need to work on getting her NOT to throw a fit when it's time to stop playing with makeup!

Fun times!

Last Friday I got to stay home and hang out with Allison all day - just the two of us. It was awesome! We cleaned up her room and she decided she needed to spend some good quality time with her toys.On Saturday we got to spend a lot of the day with my niece Crystal. We had a great time. Allison got to put up some Easter clings she got from her Grandma Nielsen. She was very particular about how they needed to go on the window - but they had to go all together. I tried to get her to spread them out, but she wanted to do it her way (I guess that's why I let her put them up in her room).
I think little Crystal wanted to help, but I don't think her mom would have been too happy with her standing up there with Allison!

Our Pretty Little Princess...

Sometimes I have no idea where Allison comes up with things. I swear I did not teach her this one. My friend Heather was taking pictures of Allison, and she would not look at the camera. In stead, she turned her back to the camera, put her hand on her hip and stuck her butt out! It was the funniest thing and she did it for like five minutes.She was so serious about it, too.FINALLY - we got her to look at the camera.
Allison is such a little ham she is awesome to have around. She brings so much life and laughter to the house - we love our little girl!

Seriously!?!

I think I may have one of the most accident prone children ever! I'm starting to think I need to get her eyes checked. Today she decided to run into the corner of something - and I came home to a gashed open eyebrow. We debated whether or not to take her to the doctor, but decided she would be okay...hopefully we made the right choice! The worst part about the whole thing is that I had scheduled to get her pictures taken on Friday when I'm off - guess I need to cancel that!

Shooting

Saturday we went shooting with Heather, Daniel, Tim, Jeremy and Jared. We had a great time!

Allison learned to drive with her Uncle Jeremy... Allison got to spend some good quality time with her best buddy Sammy! We just need to teach her not to yell at poor Sammy ALL the time!
The boys having a good time.
I think Allison's ready to go home....
Chris & I love to get outside and do something fun. I'm glad the weather's finally starting to get better so that we can...

Dinner with the Nadeau's

Friday night we went out to dinner with almost all of our immediate Nadeau family (we missed you Julie!). We went out to a buffet and had a really good time. Allison thought she was such a big girl.
Jeremy and Melissa...
Rose, Lacy, and Allison...
And just one of Rose and Allison...
After dinner Allison and I went with Grandpa Nadeau, Brenda and the boys to Sportsman's Warehouse and Cabelas. Allison tested her shooting skills...
It was a great night - something we need to do more often!
