Oh All Sorts Of Things

It seems like we did a ton today. Paige painted a rainbow. She told me "It's the best rainbow I EVER plainted!" She's right.
She "built" a stuffed pig.
We even had a short babysitting job. Then Cason forced Paige to cuddle with him for a good 5 minutes while she watched a cartoon, like this:
Then he decided too close for her comfort wasn't close enough, so he climbed completely on top of her to watch the show.
She didn't mind at all though.
Grama Trudi stopped by, so I hopped in the shower and used her for babysitting. When I came out Cason had made up this weird game, where he puts his shirt over a doorknob, and suspends himself there until his shirt pops free and he falls to the ground. Then he'd say "I almost pop mama."
He's a pretty big weirdo.

Then it was FINALLY time for dance class. She wears the same two outfits to class each week, and yet I'm blown away by how cute she is in her leotard and everything, every time.
Cason was in the process of destroying her dollhouse when I told him it was time to go, and he said he didn't want to. I told him I was going to take pictures of Paige and then come get him. So he hid from me.
I found him though.

Tonight Grammy babysat so Jess and I could go on a date. We had a lovely time as usual: Chinese food, then I got a pumpkin drink at Starbucks (not even with coffee so I don't have to feel guilty, thanks for the recommendation Echo!), and then got a book for me and a cute Halloween book for the kids, at Hastings. I also saw in the checkout aisle, and ALMOST begged Jess to buy Paige, this black Hello Kitty with bat wings and an orange dress on. But I talked myself out of it for once. It's so cute though. If I see it again I may not be so strong.

The kids had fun with Grammy while we were gone. They gave us some good cuddles after we came home though. Cason forced his love on us, as always.
