Seester Salon and Lots of Legos

Neely's all into accessories again.  

It's cute, although I hate when it's the hair ties.  I can't keep them away from her.  I couldn't figure out how she finds them, until last week, when in the morning Cason came up to Neely with a few of them and said "Here Meewee, here's your bracelets."  So now I know.  I let her wear them for several days there, hoping it would be short lived and she'd forget again.  Now it's been over a week and I've had to take them from her.  She gets VERY upset at first.  We tried looking for bracelets at Target today, but the elastic ones in the girls' section looked too loose, and would probably slip right off her wrists.  Guess we'll stick with shower curtain rings for now.

 Paige wanted to try a bunk bed again, so after the Cassons left we set it back up.  She loves it, and they all love to climb up and down the ladder.  I have to hang out in there for a bit each day, supervising while Neely climbs and plays with the other two.

Have to keep the door closed the rest of the day so she can't sneak in there to climb.

Speaking of being old enough to sleep on the top bunk, this little lady is looking so much older.  Getting so tall and slender lately.

 On Thursday Jess ran in to a store for me, and we stayed in the car, mostly because we were basically in pajamas already.  The girls played salon in the front seat. 

 I was 18 weeks 3 days when we took this the other day.  

I've been feeling little flutters for a few weeks, but rarely.  I'll go a few days between feeling anything, and then get a few close together, and then nothing for days again.  He's a mellow little guy I think.  Seemed like it in the ultrasound too. 

Cason had his first injury at Tae Kwon Do last week.  For the last few minutes, Master Cho has them do silly things like arm wrestling, and on this occasion, sumo wrestling.  Paige and Cason were paired up, and I guess Cason grabbed her leg, she was trying to jerk free and headbutted him in the nose. 

He was super tough, and I guess some of the kids asked Paige why she did that to her own brother.  She started crying when she got in the car because everyone thought she did it on purpose and made her feel bad.  Cason knew though, and was really sweet to her, and reassured her.  He also added "I kinda like it anyway, it makes me look tough."

Speaking of him being sweet, this morning I was lying in bed, trying to wake up enough to start breakfast.  Cason had gotten dressed (He always calls it "getting dressed up") and came in and told me "One more thing before I go(to the living room)" and kissed me on the forehead.  :)

We had a good weekend.  Saturday we played family Legos, with the goal of building a tower to reach the ceiling.  They're vaulted in the living room, so the kids were really excited about it.  After an hour or two, the neighbor girls wanted to play, so they had a dance party in Paige's room, and they abandoned me, Jess, and Neely.  We kept on trucking, and probably played a solid 4 hours of Legos.  Ha.  We failed at several attempts and finally accepted our design was flawed.  We eventually got it though.

The kids went out front with the neighbors for a few minutes, and came back in in time to see our finished product.  They were pumped, but Neely was really protective, and would push them further away if they got too close.  "No, Paige, you can't touch it."

I was going to make some pot stickers for dinner, and we still needed a few things, so we took a trip to the Asian Market.  It was really fun, and a cool experience for the kids.  So many different things you don't see in other grocery stores.  Teeny little spotted eggs.

 

Lots of live seafood.

 

Some fruit we've never seen.

 

We came home, and Neely played lots more Legos with daddy.  She's a Lego girl.  She told me she's "a really great builder."
