And Then a Bird Pooped Upon His Head

I couldn't seem to find the time to blog the past few days.

We had a couple family get togethers Saturday evening because Matt was going back to Oregon the next day. Before that we spent Saturday doing work on the back yard. Actually I chatted with Veronica on the porch swing, watching all the kids play,
and JESS did work. Ha.
I like that he was using one of the kids' plastic gardening tools.

Neely was 5 months old on Sunday. She is 27.5 inches long, 17 lbs 12 oz. I also swear she was trying to wave on Saturday. Tyra told me early in the day that she tried to wave back to her. I didn't see it, and she seemed too young so I figured Tyra was being hopeful. But in the evening at aunt Gail's, Tyra and Misty were waving at her and she TOTALLY tried to wave back. She held her hand palm up but totally moved her fingers in and out and her hand up and down.

Anyway....here's one of my favorite things she does:
Rubs her feet and toes together all the time.

After the family dinner on Saturday, Alex stayed the night with us.
When we came home there was a bag hanging on the doorknob, and inside was a new Mario shirt for Cason, from aunt Veronica. He was SOOOOO happy. I thought he was going to cry, for real. His voice was CRACKING and he kept saying "MY MARIO SHIRT!" and laughing the cutest happy laugh. He wants to wear it ALWAYS now. I've already had to wash it like 3 times. Ha. He put it on and started pretending bad guys were killing him. He's about to collapse here:
We went to church Sunday morning. Cason was proud of his hair.
But then when we were ready to go I realized Neely needed her diaper changed. So I went to change her while Jess and the other kids headed to the car. I heard screams and laughter through Neely's window and a minute later they all came back in because on the way to the car a bird pooped in Cason's hair. Haha.
We spent the rest of the day working outside.
Oh, did I say we were working. I meant Jess again. I was on the porch swing. Again.
The kids had SOOO much fun out there.
Especially with Alex.

Poor Cason does not look thrilled that a bird pooped in his hair. I think it is quite funny and I would have laughed so hard.

Oh Casson, I am so sorry but grandma has to admit I am still chuckling about it. You don't look very happy but bet you had a good time at Sunday School.

Ah, and he was so proud of his hair-do. By the way your yard looks like fun right now with the green grass. I miss having a backyard :(

Me, too, Sars. <50 sq. ft. of concrete does not cut it.
