The Long Awaited Pedicure Night

The other morning Neely was content to hang out in her swing, so I was able to clean the kitchen. Paige was pretending to be Neely's babysitter, so I could even kind of play a game with Paige while cleaning. She'd keep asking questions about how to care for Neely. Then she came in to the kitchen to show me her "person pet named Proxy". She got him from the Person Pet Store.
He's actually one of the people from her Candyland game.

We usually watch Little Women with my mom and sisters and nieces on the 23rd of December, but since Cassie wasn't here, we're waiting for her. We did a pedicure night last night though, since we didn't do Little Women a couple weeks ago. Paige was so excited about it for the last week. She kept organizing and reorganizing her nail polishes, telling me that it would make it easier for people to pick their polish if we put them all in a line on the counter. :) FINALLY it was time. Jess and Cason dropped us girls off at Grannybob's, and they left to go on a boy date. I guess they got chocolate pie at JBs and then went to Kmart and looked at toys and stuff.

We girls had fun, watching a movie and forcing Grannybob to do our pedicures after her long day of work. Ha.

It was fun hanging out, and I noticed Faith talks more when there are no guys around, like she's a little less shy. I have some pretty cute nieces. They and Paige were pretty feisty though. Tyra was "station 1" where they got old nail polish removed and their nails trimmed. They all got all mad at Tyra, yelling at her when she tickled their feet too much or anything.
Neely didn't get her nails done. :) She was happy to just hang out.
Cason didn't miss out on the pedicure night though, they got done before we did, so Jess dropped Cason off, while he went to play basketball. Cason got to have his nails trimmed.
And a footbath like everyone else. No nail polish though.
Eventually Jess came back from his game...
...and Jordan and Misty (who couldn't come earlier to get her feet done with the rest of us) showed up for a while. Paige was loving Uncle Jordan, because he listened while she explained all about how she was going to the dentist in the morning.
Speaking of which, they did great at the dentist. It helped that Paige had been there once before and they have a cool play area. So she was all excited for days, telling Cason how fun it is. So he wasn't even nervous for his first time. He was a little shy in the room, but was really good and let the dentist look at his teeth and brush them. It was Paige's first time going back alone, but luckily the girl who took her back is really cool and has a daughter in Paige's dance class, so she knew her and wasn't afraid to go with her.

They sent them each their little bag with a couple fun prizes for being good, and of course a new toothbrush and all of that. They also got those little hourglasses to show them how long they should brush. They played with them in the bathtub tonight. Jess was the one giving them their bath, but Neely and I were hanging out in the bathroom too, because I was talking to Jess. (about Harry Potter. Cool, huh?)

At one point Jess asked Paige if he should go shopping for more onions for her. (He's been teasing her because she ate almost her whole dinner without realizing there were onions, when she swears she hates them) So when he said he was going to buy more, she put a little washrag over her hourglass from the dentist and goes "See daddy, I have a new invention. It's an invention that helps you to know when I don't want you to go and buy me onions." Then she unveiled her hourglass. Ha.

Then the little lady had her bath. And of course hydration station afterwards.
So now we have 3 clean, nice smelling, pajama-clad kids.

AND I got another package today, which was the organic baby lip balm I've been searching for, because I hate just putting dumb vaseline on their lips when they get chapped. It seems like it helps for about a minute, then their lips are even drier than before. But all the baby kind I found was usually really expensive, but I found some at Target finally, for like 10 dollars, which seems expensive, but it's huge and should last forever. Here's a nerdy picture of me about to put it on her. So if any of you are searching for the same thing, HERE you go.
Look at these lovely moisturized lips.
You're welcome.
