Love Letters and Pranks

Jess stayed home sick yesterday, and I took Neely to the doctor. Thankfully she didn't have strep throat, which I was starting to worry about.

Paige was feeling all better, and spent her day playing all alone inside the puppet tent from Aunt Mollie...
...and writing little love notes on sticky pads she stuck all over the house for the recipients to find.
Neely still wasn't quite herself, but was playing some more. Like with one of her recent favorite toys-the Little People barn. She noticed me taking her picture so I got a profile shot of the "cheese" smile.
She's starting to do funny little things like Paige did at her age, like trying to balance her toys in strange places.
The boy played his first prank yesterday.
I walked into the living room and Cason said "Mama, take a drink of your water." For some reason I didn't notice it was weird for him to want ME to drink up, so I grabbed the glass. RIGHT before I took a swig, he threw his arms up to the side in a kind of "taDA" gesture and goes "There's a rock in it! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" I said "Oh MAN!" and he goes "It was a joke. That was awesome." Haha. Paige heard him and goes "Is it May 1st?" Haha, they're so funny. She knows about April Fools, but apparently forgot which month it's in.
