A Very Chatty Post

Last night my 11 and a half year old nephew spent the night at our house. Last weekend my oldest friend spent a few nights at our house. Two wonderful and awesome experiences! It seems to be shaping up to be the year of the sleepover!

I did not shove a camera in Dylan's face all night like I normally would have, and pretty much have done since he was born. He's very used to it by now and even told me it was okay to take [ictures of him but he did lay out one rule: No photos while he was sleeping. I decided to take a few quick snaps and put the camera away and just let him be himself. I even let him use my "old" camera (the 20D) and he shot a few of us with his camera which he brought with him. I think he shot more pictures of me than I did of him.

I smashed my wee little toes on my left foot on the ironing board in the living room this morning so hard they still hurt now... I'm betting shoving them into tightly laced boots soon after didn't help matters. They are throbbing angrily now and I can't stand on my tiptoes with that foot. That can't be good.

Dylan and I had a very pleasant lunch this afternoon at Pizzeria Uno's. On the kids menu they have a "Make Your Own Pizza" meal where they bring you dough, sauce and cheese and let you create your own pizza. I had never heard of this, not having any reason to have ever look at a kids menu before, and it looked like fun. We stopped at a coin & stamp store on our way north and Dylan scored a grab bag full of mystery coins for ten bucks. He was quite thrilled with the assortment of coins in the bag. (He's collecting coins these days if anyone has any cool looking ones)

All the while a snowstorm was slowly raging outside and picking up intensity. We drove up to Framingham early to get ahead of it, and we were going to meet some family driving down from Bangor, Maine to see my show at the library. Unfortunately the storm got to be pretty bad, and is still going on as I type this, and they didn't make it much further south than Ogunquit. Ah well... there will be other shows. I'll try and plan the next one for summertime.

So yeah, it;s still snowing and I hope it keeps snowing through the night because I don't really want to go to work tomorrow. Nope, I sure don't.

Where was I?
After lunch we head to Northboro to Bill & Amanda's house where I hang out for a while... chatting, taking a few photos of the baby, the dog, Dylan and then I let Dylan shoot a few more with my camera. I also got my ass handed to me in Wii bowling, tennis, and boxing. Ron and I played Wii at Alexi's last week and did I mention that thing is crack? Crack I tell ya! Very addictive little game system that is! I got the feeling Dylan didn't want me to leave because he kept finding more things to show me as I was trying to go.

So that's how I spent my day off today. I didn't get any editing done today and that's okay. If I get a snow day tomorrow I promise to post new pictures. Wow, I just looked back over this post and I rambled on wuite a bit didn't I? Now it's time for bed.
