"Brilliant Idea"

Jess worked all day long, starting with making pancakes for breakfast, then hanging curtains for me, and then a ton of stuff in the back yard. He put in a border around our patch of grass, and we put down a bunch of rubber mulch under the playground.
Like 25 bags, and we still need quite a few more. But it's gonna be really nice.
In the half hour I was helping I managed to send a good sized rock shooting into my eye. It's a tiny bit red. And a tiny bit hideous.
While we worked on the curtains, Paige got out my step stools and the dvd case. She opened it up and asked me to put on the Firm for her. So I did, and the babies got fit. Cason mostly danced up on his stool. But Paige was serious about it.
After a few minutes she goes "I NEED MY ORANGE SHIRT!" and ran to her room. I realized she was referring to the orange tank top she wore working out with me four months ago! Her memory about things like that amazes me. About a week after the Halloween party she said something about "Uncle Tim" and his "green shirt" he was wearing. I wondered if she was right about his shirt being green at the party. But now I know she most likely was, if she remembers what she wore to work out months ago.

Anyway, she's grown out of that shirt so I convinced her to wear THIS outfit instead.
Now then, here she is modeling her new red birthday shoes, from Aunt Cassie.
As for Cason, he's still sick, but in a pretty good mood. He found his Halloween card from Aunt Mindy and Uncle Randy today, and spent some time going over that.
He also was in rare form today, doing ANYTHING he could to scare us. Mostly putting things in his mouth. Like stickers. Over and over, no matter how many times we told him no.
Oh, and today Paige had another idea. This time she goes "I have a brilliant idea." Her idea was for me to go out to the car and search for her missing white My Little Pony. I'd try to describe how she pronounced "brilliant" but I don't think I could.
