PERFECT Morning

This has been pretty much the best morning ever. Every member of our family woke up SO cheerful and happy. Jess lit us some pumpkin spice candles...
..,and made us banana pancakes...
...while Paige, Cason, and I did puzzles. Cason was in one of his especially sweet and happy moods, and ran in to announce to Jess every time he helped put a piece on the puzzle. When we finished he ran in with his fists in his air yelling "We made a puzzoo DADDY!" Speaking of his announcements, he's been running into rooms again lately, announcing himself proudly. He'll run in to a room and do a kind of jump stop, and yell "CASON!" or "IT'S CASON!" with his knees bent and his hands in the air. It's the best.

Anyway, back to their puzzle. After finishing it, they happily stomped it apart.
Those pancakes were the best thing ever.
Paige refused to try for a while, even though she loves bananas and loves pancakes. She thought they wouldn't taste good together. Jess finally convinced her to try it and she sounded a little grumpy when she admitted "I like it."

She just told me she had a dream that I was exercising in a faraway land, with Grannybob. Haha.

Jess and his parents worked hard again yesterday, and I think I'm gonna LOVE the front yard. Actually I know I am. They had lots of "help".
Eventually the kids started hunting for snails to put in their trick'or'treat pails, so the grownups could work SOMEWHAT in peace after that.
