Worker Bees

Yesterday we went to the fair with the Austins. I of course forgot my camera, so I don't have a single picture. We had fun though. My favorite lemonade place returned this year, although I don't think it tasted quite as good as it used to. Oh well. The kids had fun. Paige rode way more rides than we expected, so we ran out of money way earlier than we thought we would, and had to go see the animals and then just leave. Cason's still not a fan of rides. He'd think he wanted on until the last second, when he'd get upset and reach for me. Luckily they gave us a refund every time he got off the rides.

Sometime yesterday Jess and I were trying to open something. I can't even remember what, but it had shrink wrap type stuff on it. We both tried, but failed, and eventually Jess got up and went to the kitchen. Cason looked at me and said "Daddy go get zizzers." I thought that was funny, that he knew that we needed scissors and that that was where Jess went. Little smarty.

He's also started singing normal statements, like his older sister. Tonight he was eating a cheese crisp, and got down from table. Jess told him to finish eating and he started singing "I don't like it, I don't like it..."

Jess was so pumped today, when I reminded him "we" needed to build a burrow for Sammy, to avoid what happened last time Sammy hibernated. Since I'm pregnant he of course doesn't let me do any of the work, so really "HE" did it all.
Meanwhile Cason did some yardwork.
That's what our yard looks like. We purposely let the grass die, so we can start over, but the other plants are looking bad just because we've been neglecting them. I could barely feed my family and pets all summer with my lack of energy, let alone the plants. Ha.

Paige "planted" a bunch of sticks in the dirt.
She had them all numbered, and carefully dug holes for each of them, and then watered them all. Cason uprooted a few and got in trouble with her. At one point she goes "CASON!? What did you do to number 3?" Haha.
I think that little stick standing up behind her is # 10. :)
