Sneaky Hugs

The kids all three got a cold a few days ago. Cason and Neely were over it pretty quickly, and never even really got a cough. Paige though, as always, got a decent cough going. She seems to be taking after aunt Mollie, and Teetee, and a few others in the family who have bronchitis issues.

It was nice out yesterday, so I cleaned out the car, while the healthier kids played in the grass out front.

Cason was of course wearing his Captain America costume. Every single day, if we're at home for more than an hour or so, he WILL be wearing either that or his Buzz Lightyear costume. Without fail. Complete with the mask and shield, or if he's being Buzz, the gloves and helmet part. So yesterday while playing outside, he was the Captain. I was bringing something in from the car, and I leaned inside the front door of the house to put it inside. I turned around to find him like this:
Just waiting for me to discover him. Jess says that today there's still a big (probably Cason-shaped) depression in the bush.

The sickly one cuddled up on the couch to watch cartoons.
She's actually not feeling bad, just has the cough. She was just in the mood to be cozy and have us wait on her hand and foot, I think.

Today we're cleaning up the house. Paige was playing with legos on the living room floor, while I folded laundry on the couch. Neely thinks she's hilarious if she steals legos and tries to put them in her mouth. She doesn't actually have any interest in eating them, she just thinks it's funny how we react any time she puts anything in her mouth. So she does it, or tries to anyway, gives us her naughty smile, giggles and tries to run for it. Naughty one.
But she's also a sweet one. She loves to sneak up behind me and throw her little arms around me. She does it a lot lately, and I always go "AWWWWWWWWWWW!" So now when she does it SHE automatically goes "aawwwwwwwwwwww!" while hugging me. I had Jess get a couple pictures when she did it this morning.
