Sleepy Ballerina

Last night Paige stayed with Alex and Faith. This morning they brought her home and the girls ended up spending the day with us. Paige and Cason didn't pay much attention to me, so Neely and I hung out while the big kids played. I heard lots of funny things throughout the day, but one of my favorites was when they played a restaurant game. Faith was a waitress, and Alex was the patron.

Faith: "I am SO sorry ma'am, but we ran out of ham sandwiches."

Alex(VERY seriously, and almost threatening): "That's what I want, or else I'm not gonna pay."

Cason wore his Buzz costume for them, and "flew" off the end tables a few times, yelling "Infinee BEYOND!"
He and Paige were both overtired, so they each spent some time in their room today, for screaming at me, and even their beloved cousins.

Right after the girls left, it was time for Paige to get ready for dance. She got changed and then got on the couch to wait for Grama, who was going to take her today. She was so excited about Grama taking her, for the last several days she couldn't stop talking about it. I walked by a few minutes later and realized she'd fallen asleep on the couch, while waiting.
She VERY rarely naps anymore, so she must have stayed up pretty late with the girls last night. She looked so cute sleeping in her tutu. I took about a million pictures, but I was wishing Michael was here with his superior camera and superior skills. BUT I still got some cute ones.
I was climbing all over the couch, trying to get every possible angle. Ha. Neely waited patiently in her crib, watching her scottie mobile, in her scottie sweater dress from Grama. :)
And her cute Minnie Mouse socks Mollie bought when Paige was a baby.
Unfortunately, my letting Paige sleep before dance resulted in her waking up groggy and sad, and she suddenly didn't want to go to dance, and was kinda cranky with Grama. Sorry Grama, thanks for TRYING. I promise she was excited to have you take her until I let her nap right before.
