Auntie Amy Visit (Feb 7 to Feb 10)
Last weekend we had a great visit from Auntie Amy. Though the visit was quick we fit lots in... play-dough, sleeping in (for us, not Amy) lots of time with Dr Simon, shots in the toe, Lillian Laughs, some teething and surprisingly little spit up. Amy even watched the kids while Alan and I went to a movie! It was the first movie we've seen since July, so we were pretty excited and happy with our choice of the Lego Movie. (Everything Is Awesome is my new favorite song.)

Simonwood Derby
On Sunday Simon and I built some tracks to race his different cars and trains against each other. We tried lots of different matchups and gradually eliminated the pool of contenders until we were left with a high-powered final race: Lightning McQueen vs. Thomas the Train. Two of Simon's favorites (I think some of the results may have been fixed), but not exactly a fair race. Piston Cup champion Lightning McQueen easily crushed Thomas as we confirmed once and for all that freight trains are not faster than race cars.
Snowball fight
Last weekend we had another big snowstorm. Simon kept asking to go do things outside ("let's play baseball! let's ride bicycles!") that we had to say no to because the weather was bad, and he was starting to really get frustrated with the winter. So we got all bundled up to see if we could have some fun outside even though there was a ton of snow. We ended up having a great time playing around in the snow for over two hours: having a snowball fight, building part of a snowman, and even doing a little sledding.
