Weekend update

So you know I blog all at once it seems.  Sorry.  I get impatient w/loading the pictures, so I figure I will just blow one night with it.

This was a good weekend.  Scott came home for the weekend and surprised me by coming Thursday night instead of Friday evening as "planned".  He walked in at the end of small group--total shocker.  It was really sweet.  He was able to stay until this morning, so we were able to go to a Superbowl party (tears for the Colts) and we got our taxes done--score.  We owe both Missouri and Illinois.  Fabulous.  Neither recognizes that we lived in another state part of the year, so they want a piece of the total income--not just what is earned in that state.  This seems like double taxing to me, but I'm no tax expert.    But it's not bad--we still come out ahead w/federal. 

Here's a pic of C at the gym last week trying to ride a tricycle.  He had moderate success on it backwards.  He could walk it.  He didn't know what to do on it the correct way. 

I wasn't quick enough w/my camera and he's attempting a dismount here.  As a sidenote his favorite thing to play w/at toddler open gym...the water fountain.  De ja vu of the firehouse.  He was also drawn to the adult men playing basketball on the other side of the gym like a siren's song.  I could barely keep him away from either the basketball or water fountain.

Here's our fort/tent we played in Thursday and then recreated Friday.  At first C was apprehensive about it, but then he was all about it.  We did a lot of reading and flashlight playing in it.
