Oops, Been a While Again

Jess left us for a few days last week to do some work in Oklahoma City.  We took him to the airport and then came home without him.  We really missed him.  Paige and Cason would tell me out of nowhere they couldn't wait for him to get back, and then ask me exactly how much time was left before we could go get him.  Neely would walk around the house saying "Daddy?  DAAAADDY?"

I not only missed him, but I realized I'm a pretty big wuss.  We had lots of stuff to do in the evenings while he was gone, like softball games.  So we'd get home after dark, and I was really pretty scared walking up to the door in the dark, trying to unlock it and get everyone in as quickly as possible while planning how best to protect all three of them if someone DID jump out of the bushes.  Ha.  I never even realize when Jess IS home that I'd be nervous if he wasn't.

We did okay the rest of the time though.  Played mostly.  I like this picture of Neely peering through the dollhouse window.

 Cason spent some time playing his beloved Superhero Squad game, with his sidekick cheering him on. 

 We also did some crafts.  We're on a hot air balloon kick over here.

Paige had t-ball while he was gone too.  I love when she gets down and ready like this.(She's the 2nd baseman)

We picked him up Friday night, and he got to see Paige play on Saturday.  Neely slept through it.

Caso ignored the game too, WAY more interested in Aunt Mollie and the games on her phone.

On Easter Paige told us it felt better to throw with her right hand.  She ALWAYS draws/writes/eats with her left, so I automatically bought her a leftie glove.  Well, we watched and her coach watched, and she obviously throws harder and more easily with her right arm.  Weird.  So back to the store we went, and got her a glove for a rightie.  She's clearly more comfortable that way. 

We spent the rest of our weekend working more on our yard.  Paige wanted to do this pose with our new flowers.

Running in the sprinklers, since it was almost 100 degrees today.

Going for walks...

...being scolded during the walk for going too far ahead AND fighting with each other about who is "winning" and who is "losing".

 ...and watching our sweet little people play out front together.
