A Topic Hopping Post

Well, since I failed to put the poll up correctly, people haven't even been able to for 24 hours yet. So there aren't that many votes yet, but so far it's 50/50. That surprises me, because I constantly hear "boy" and hardly ever have anyone guess girl. But Jess has apparently suddenly decided it's a girl. He's said the rest of our kids would be boys until really recently, and says it's definitely a girl now. We shall see.

Boy or girl, this one is kicking SO hard, like it's about to kick it's way out. Like at this very moment. It's crazy.

Last night we stopped at the store and Jess ran in for me. So the kids and I sat in the parking lot. They were both separately playing little games, and I heard Cason saying "Hi Austin. Hi, I Uniqua!" (those are both names from the Backyardigans, his favorite show in the world) Then he goes "Oh, hi daddy toe." So I looked back and he had his feet facing eachother, and the toes were all playing parts. I think it's so funny that both our kids have used their fingers and toes as people when they didn't have access to actual toys. I love them.

Today Paige was really upset about Kindergarten. I have no idea why it even came up, but she was suddenly worried about having to go to school and have me leave her there. When we were parked at Jess's office waiting for him we were talking about it. I told her it would be just like dance class, she would have fun and then I'd be there to pick her up. She got SO upset and started crying and then yelling at me. After she quieted down I said "Paige, I know you're scared but we can just talk about it nicely, there's no reason for you to be yelling at me." Cason was sitting between us, not paying attention I THOUGHT, but then he made a really exaggerated mad face at her and yelled "Yeah, that's TRUE!" Paige got pretty mad and went to sit alone in the back of the car. Cason followed her and tried to force her to cuddle. She told him to go away and he said "HEY! Be NICE me!" Haha.

Paige, Lily, and Cason played hide and seek today, and it was so cute. They don't even need us to help them play at all anymore. They took turns counting and hiding.
I was sneaking pictures of them and Lily finished counting and goes "Where are they?" like I would just sell them out that easily. Ha. Look at her cute new haircut too.
Cason found excellent hiding spots, as always.
Unfortunately we're still having some pretty hot days, but today was really nice. Paige even wore a sweater dress.
I wish it was fall all year round and we could wear nothing BUT sweater dresses.

Here's a snail she made last night out of Jess' Magnetix or whatever they're called.
Boys figure out how to play with "guns" whether or not you've ever bought them a toy gun. Cason stuck marker lids to his fingers today and was shooting us all.
Then he got Jess to play it with him.
