Older Sister Of The Baby Queen

Most weekends fly by, even the 3 day ones. This one actually felt like it lasted a while.

We weren't that productive, but it was a fun one. I did do ONE project, painted our yellow computer desk white. When I painted it yellow I used a flat paint and it was a dirt magnet, and was impossible to clean. So now it's a glossy white and will hopefully stay that way.
I had Alex and Faith for quite a while on Friday, and Paige and Cason LOVED having them around all day. (Well, when they weren't fighting over toys) There was Mario Kart:
Some crafting:
Some movie watching:
And then we took them home so Paige and I could go on a date.
We went to a magic show, and she LOVED it. She was so cute, laughing along with the crowd, even at political jokes she obviously didn't understand. :) She wanted to be called on stage SO BAD, to be his assistant. Alas, he called for children 6-11. She was pretty disappointed, but I told her we could try again someday when she's older.

I also had a date with Grama this weekend. Ha. I didn't get a picture of it, but I doubt she'd want me taking pictures of her eating lunch anyway. Most people don't seem to like pictures of them eating, for some reason. Ha.

On Saturday Paige drew me a rainbow, which I always notice is in the correct order. ROYGBIV you know. She doesn't even have to stop and think, which impresses me. If you ask her the order of the colors, she just immediately goes "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple." Which may not include indigo, but who cares, I'm impressed.
The weekend also included french toast of course. Paige eats about 3 times as much as the rest of us, including Jess and I. She had 3 big ol' pieces Sunday morning. She was waiting by the stove here, telling me how good it smelled, and inhaling the aroma dramatically. Ha.
This morning she was dancing around the living room singing about how Neely is the "Queen of the BABIEEEEEEES!"
We didn't plan too well, because Paige ended up getting two dates this weekend, instead of getting one, and Cason getting one. But it was SO nice out, and Jess had been planning to take Paige hiking for their next date. So it had to happen.

I distracted Caso by taking him to get ice cream after we dropped Jess and Paige off. I love these pics I got of them before we left them to their date.
I got this of them at the summit. Haha.
Since this became a very Paige-heavy post, here's one of my boy being a wild man in the front yard.
And Neely looking cute in her panda shirt and polkadot pants.
I noticed she was much more interested in the hanging toys on her playmat this weekend, and seemed to be trying to hit and kick them.
Oh, and this weekend I told Cason something, and called him "Caso". He goes "CASON." I said "You don't want me to call you Caso?" He shook his head no and just repeated "Cason." So then I hugged him and said "Okay, but can I call you Caso SOMETIMES?" He smiled and nodded.
