It's All Wonderful

Today was much better. We SEEM to be on the right track with the dollhouse. Cassie's home for a visit, and Alex and Faith came over for a while, so Paige and Cason had a great day. They played some weird game with Cassie.
Cassie was Santa, I think, and the girls and sometimes Cason were in this giant box Grammy brought over for them to play with. Cassie was delivering gifts through holes in the sides, and every once in a while there was a blizzard. Cassie was rolling the box around with them in it and Paige yelled "NO SANTA! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US!!" Haha. They also took turns "mailing" letters to each other through the windows.
Cason hung out inside with Cassie while she received some mail.
Cason loved having Alex pay lots of attention to him. She loves babies.
He also got a brand new purple lump on his forehead while they played. He ran from Alex and turned to look back at her, and ran right into the doorframe. Poor boy. I was baking cookies in the kitchen, and could hear them laughing. Then I heard a thunk, and then him crying. So I went running, and he met me halfway. Then he took me to the scene of the accident and reenacted it for me. He's a big fan of reenactments.

Connie also came over for a visit, which was nice, and then JESS CAME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK! 2 weeks! It's gonna be great.

We worked on the dollhouse yet again. I sat there with a razor blade, cutting little lines on the floors to make it look like tiny hardwood floors, and I'm pretty sure I have a blister forming on my palm. Now Jess is staining them for me. They'll be so cute, assuming it works out this time.

Earlier tonight Jess and Paige wrapped my presents together.
These here tissue papers were left over in the trash pile, and they are DEFINITELY from anthropologie.
So I know I'll love that one, whatever it is.

Paige went to bed a much happier girl tonight. A while before bedtime she was singing "It's a beautiful day! It's all wonderful!" Ha. While we read books tonight she told me "I SO like you." They're both asleep now, and we need to work on that project of ours.

Weird how Cason likes to reenact things...I seem to remember you yourself doing slow-mo reenactments at the animal hospital. Hilarious! I had a lot of fun visiting with you guys today. We need to do it more often, and by we I mean I need to stop being so lazy and actually leave the house on my days off. Haha

That really never even occurred to me. Aww, my little guy inherited it from me. :) Yes, do come visit more. It would be lovely.

Haha, you're a present "deducer" like med Ü. Except I usually guess by looking at our statement online...so Nathan had to learn to start paying cash for things!

Jess should not allow you to wield a razor blade while you work on a project that has brought you such frustration so far.

I love seeing anthropologie tissue!
Will and I would like to see Cason reenact something.
