Pandee Express

Paige is getting pretty good at reading.  She read Cason a bed time story the other night, and was pretty proud of herself.

Cason and I went on a date to Panda Express the other night.  I said I wasn't going to take him there on dates anymore because he's so into his food he barely notices I'm there.  But he loves it so much I couldn't deprive him of it.  Actually he DID end up talking to me a lot this time, anyway.

There were little stuffed pandas for sale by the register, and the lucky guy got one.  He named him Pandee.

He deserved it though.  Earlier that day Paige had decided she was running away for the first time.  She was really mad, but Cason wasn't having her run off.  She was trying so hard not to laugh.

  

Neely wasn't worried.

On Saturday I took the older two to the Kids Workshop at Home Depot.  They got their aprons, and wore them for the rest of the day while helping Jess work out front.

Paige kept saying to call 5492 if we needed any Home Depot employees to come and help us.  Of course we "called" them and had them cutting the edges of the grass where the mower wouldn't reach it, with their scissors.  They were working hard.

Paige also made a bird trap this weekend.  Ha.  She had a string tied to this basket, and put what she said were seeds, for bait, beneath it. Then she hid in a sleeping bag holding on to the string, and waiting for a bird.  She was not pleased when no birds came.  She was surprisingly patient for quite a while though.

A while later she asked if she could have her friend Maysen come play.  I called her mom, who said she'd send her down in 15 minutes(She lives about 3 houses away).  Paige and Cason were so excited, and asked to wait for her out front.  It was a pretty cute scene.

 I finally finished Paige's hot air balloon mobile she wanted for her room.

I'd seen something like it online, and started the balloons weeks ago.  I could never get the cloud quite how I wanted it, so I had to settle for this.  She loves it though.  She was lying in her bed, looking up at it, and I heard her planning which My Little Pony should ride in which color hot air balloon.  :)
