Long Weekend

Jess took Monday and Tuesday off, so we had a nice long 4 day weekend. We were quite productive too. Jess did the stuff in the backyard I mentioned, and hung about 19 curtain rods for me. And we made lots of plans for work on the house. When we have money anyway. I did a lot less than Jess did, mostly cleaned, but I DID have one project. Another work of "art" commissioned by Jess. He wanted an UP style mailbox, although I altered it to include our babies. I don't think I'm meant to be a painter unfortunately. I have the steady hands of a 98 year old.
The babies spent their long weekend having a cold.
We should be well rested after the break, but instead they both woke up a ton at night, and so we did too. They were happy during the day though, except for having runny noses, and coughing once in a while. And except for yesterday, when they both spent all day verbally abusing Jess and me. Cason screamed a lot, and hit things. Paige mostly told us "FINE! It's ALL YOUR FAULT! Hmph." Then she crosses her arms, points her chin up, and turns her back to us. ALL DAY they did this stuff. If we were the type to get stressed out when they're grumpy we'd have both been crying. Luckily we're not that type. Instead we do our best to discipline them, and then when we're alone laugh at how funny they are when they're mad.
Like this frustrated face.
One time yesterday, during a short episode of Cason feeling cheerful, Paige was yelling at us. Eventually, Jess told her he was counting to three and if she wasn't calmed down when he finished she'd go to timeout. She ran screaming to her room as soon as he said "One..". Cason followed her with a big smile, and his fingers up, and said "DOO!", which is how he says "Two". Haha. He helps us count a lot, usually during hide and seek though. Luckily for him, Paige didn't hear him. Her wrath would have turned to him.
