So a hundred years ago my friend Sarah tagged me, and I never got around to it. I feel bad about neglecting my blog-duties, so here goes:

Four Places I go over & over:
-Work
-Church
-Trail
-Walmart

***OK, rewind. I am waaaay too boring for this. Let's do this from the point of view of Ally:

Four Places I go over & over:
-To the boxes that hold all the winter gloves/hats/etc and pull them all out
- To the TV
- To Kendall's
- To where-ever the cats are hiding from me

Four Places I like to eat:
-McDonalds
-Culvers
-the kitchen table
-Off the floor

Four Places I would like to be right now:
-With mom
-With mom
-With mom
-Snuggling at home w/ mom

Four t.v shows:
-Sesame Street
-Prince of Egypt
-Aladin
-Monsters, Inc.

Three Joys:
-Getting tickled
-Laying on top of the cats
-Being chased by mom and dad
-Getting to go OUTSIDE!

Three Fears:
-Heights
-Horatio - the scary elephant on Sesame Street
-Strangers - j/k




Three Goals:
-Learn to speak in full sentences
-Be nice to my mom when I'm a teenager
-Change my own diaper

Three obsessions:
-Saying "What's that?"
-Bugs and animals
-Blankets and stuffed animals




Three surprising facts about me:
-I was born with a tiny hole in my heart, but it's all gone now!
-I pick my nose and give it to my dad and say "what's that?"
-I am the best baby ever (ok, not so surprising)

This last weekend we went camping with the afore-mentioned Sarah. Ally did great and it was so fun to do something new. Who loves camping? I do!

PKD Walk

Today I walked for PKD: http://www.pkdcure.org/ConnectLocally/WalkforPKD/2008MadisonWalkforPKD/tabid/932/Default.aspx

If you follow that link, you see I was #5 in fund-raising as an individual. Thanks to all who donated. Matthew, Adam, and all our family appreciate it.

You can see my tags that say "I am walking for Matthew and Adam." The blue ribbon means I met and exceeded my fund-raising goals.





While I didn't win any prizes for fund-raising, or any door prizes, I did win one prize hands down.

That's right...read closer...I won the award for "palest legs." Oh yeah. Afterwards, someone asked me what I won, I told her it was a gift certificate to a tanning salon. But really, it's for $10 worth of Italian food. Genetics may have dealt me a cruel hand, but I think this is the only case in the history of my life where I have been rewarded for being a freak of nature.

Chuck E Cheese




Chuck E Cheese has always perplexed me...what does the "E" stand for? And why isn't it Chuckie Cheese? I have a kindred bond with him, given that my name is Sarah E. Buffington (or Sarah E. Salt once upon a time), but my E stood for something...Esteggleget. I don't remember the spelling, you'd have to ask Lacey. Anyway, we took Ally to see Chuck E. last night. She had a pretty good time, although the dancing machines kind of freaked her out. And apparently Barney did something to piss her off:

Our House (in the middle of our street)

Here's what it looked like when we first bought it:



And after all Matt's hard work:



We have a lot of ideas still, more work to come, but it's a lot of fun!!
