"Better Go and Get Your Mama"

We had a weird day today. I want to say lazy, since you couldn't see a square inch of the carpet in the living room, through all the toys and carseats whose covers were being washed. Also both babies were in their diapers/undies until 4:30 pm.
But it wasn't exactly lazy, because I did what felt like 48 loads of laundry, dishes, actually made the beds for once, made myself an apron, and made a doll for Paige. My first attempt at a doll, so there are lots of things I'll do differently next time, but she doesn't care. She's VERY pleased. She was sprinting around with her yelling things like "Thank you MAMA!" and "I so excited have my doll!", and "My doll SOOOO cute!" , and hugging her.
While I made her, Paige painted. She also did a bit of mixed media art work, watercolor and glitter, as shown below. This she tells me, is Santa:
We also had a dance party, to Paige's current favorite song: "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks. Haha. Cason on dance solo, Paige on piano and vocals.
Obviously her favorite part is getting to sing LOUDLY "BATTLEFIELD! BATTLEFIELD! A BATTLEFEE-ELD!" But she also loves the part that goes "Better go and get your armor." Only she thinks it says "Better go and get your mama!" I encourage it, and sing it along with her.

They were just watching Rescue Rangers, and I peeked at them, and Cason was making this awesome face, with a deeply furrowed brow, like the show disgusts him.
Closeup, you ask? My pleasure.

Why THANK you! You may have my doll making for free, my friend. Feel free to place an order via email. Yeah, it is definitely a blessing staying with them every day.
