Caso's First Time At The "Big Movies"

We're working on moving our kids' bedtimes earlier, so we've been waking them up at 9 in the morning. That's actually quite a bit earlier than they WERE sleeping. I didn't mind getting to sleep until 10 or even 11 sometimes, but poor Jess was kept up late. Then if he wanted any time to do anything together after they were in bed, then he had to get up for work on barely any sleep. Anyway, the first morning was hard, but I feel a lot better getting up a little earlier. Cason was getting used to it pretty easily, waking up at 8:30 on his own after the first day or two of it. But this morning he slept until 9, when Jess got him up. He still wasn't really "UP" exactly. Poor little guy. Although judging by Jess' face, he apparently wasn't either. Ha.
Pretty soon Caso popped up and was good to go.
Today we took Cason to the movies for the first time. All four of us went actually, along with Dan, Veronica, and Lily. We saw Toy Story 3, although Paige insists it was Toy Story 23. They all loved it. They were so dang cute, all 3 kids lined up between us, eyes glued to the screen. They would do their cute exaggerated laughs at the funny parts, and Cason kept fake screaming at any "scary" parts. He loved it. People loved ME, taking pictures in the dark theater. Haha. I only did before the movie started though. This is the only one that came out. He was much happier than he appears.
We're ALSO trying to get him back to napping, although he usually only goes 30-45 minutes. So he fell asleep in the car on the way home. As he was starting to doze, I told Jess getting a milkshake at Sonic would take the perfect amount of time to get Cason fully asleep before we drove home. Ha. So Paige and I got icecream. We hung out in the car while Cason napped.Then Paige and I painted a picture for the baby's room. All my art is so flawless. Haha. Oh well. I have to touch it up some and in a few months add pink or blue somehow. Maybe just a collar on the dog or something.
How do people paint nice straight lines?

Anyway Grama's birthday was yesterday, and I didn't blog. So happy birthday Grama! We all love you!

Be prepared for a possible commission for a painting.
