Project Day

The weather has been SOOO nice finally. Paige even wore her sweater dress and tights to story time, not that it was cold enough to be NECESSARY, but cool enough that she was comfy in it. And QUITE cute in it.
Last night Paige randomly started decorating the dining room, and whispered to me that she wanted to surprise Jess with a "Thank you party. For everything that he gives to us."
So cute. She told me she got the idea from Kai-Lan. She drew this picture of apples, to decorate with. I'm not sure why, maybe they did that on Kai-Lan too.
Today Jess took the day off to work on a couple of projects at home, that we've been wanting to finish before the baby arrives. He did a LOT of work on the front yard, so they can plant grass up there tomorrow morning.
Speaking of which, it will JUST be 2 weeks tomorrow, since we planted the grass seed in the backyard, and it already looks like this:
THANK YOU Jess, Karl, and Barby!

While Jess worked in the front, I FINALLY made a cushion for the bench out there. I've had the fabric for months, and the foam for a week probably.
Now I just need to make another one for the back of it, and we will have a nice place to sit out front since the weather's so nice now. Pretty soon we'll have grass too, and we can sit out and watch the kids play. While holding a new baby too!

When I was sewing it I let Cason have a piece of the extra foam I cut off, and he goes "Oh, it my skateboard." Then he rode it. :)
Jess got to come to dance class with us, since he was off today.
He mostly did this though:
I took over so he could peek in once or twice though,and Paige was so cute in there. As into it as always.

Now look at these boy legs:
I just bought some "coming home from the hospital outfits" the other day! An outfit for each possible gender of course, although Jess is still convinced I won't need the boy one. And tonight I even packed my hospital bag, since we have no idea how long we have. I'm getting excited, but also pretty terrified.

Now they're having Lily over for a sleepover. Paige was teaching Lily to do her giant puzzle a while ago, behind me on the floor. Lily was also a puppy. Paige just gasped and said "DOGGY YOU'RE A GENIUS! You did the right puzzle piece!" Haha. I didn't even know she knew the word "genius." Then she told her "THAT'S not the right one. But you REALLY are a genius."

Cason kept stomping through their puzzle, trying desperately to get them to pay attention to him. It just made Paige mad, but suddenly Lily decided it WOULD be fun to wrestle.
So they did for a few minutes, while Paige looked angrily at them, and then begged Lily to return to her. Then Lily goes "Sorry Cason, I can't play anymore. But, I had fun with you." So cute.
