Bombshell

I'm just sitting at the computer feeding Cason, and looking at pictures. Her hair just dropped a bomb on me, that's all. Rocks my socks.

Dancing, Dinosaurs, Dining Out, and Day of My Seester's Birth

Paige's older cousins Alkex and Faif (Alex and Faith) are spending the night, and she couldn't be happier about it. They are having tons of fun.

Dancing after their bath:


Being chased by loudly roaring dinosaurs:

BEING the loudly roaring dinosaur in hot pursuit:


Meanwhile, Alex was running a restaurant, with Jess and Cason as patrons:


I snuck this picture of their order when the waitress wasn't paying attention:

Then this one, later on, when the order was becoming slightly extravagant for 2 diners, in my opinion:

P.S. Jess is being given his "receipt" at this very moment. Alex doesn't kid around.

P.P.S. Now Jess and Cason gave Alex a "generous tip" for the "excellent service" and they "will be returning to this establishment". In reply Alex said "Okay, just give me the money." Haha. I'm pretty sure I got all of that word for word. None of them even know I'm listening to them. Silly and naive, they are.

P.P.P.S. Faith is now employed at the restaurant, and so far I heard her say "Coming right up."

That's all, finally. Except.........that it's NOT!

Their mom and dad are out at dinner right now, because it's their mom's (and my sister's) birthday. Happy birthday to my oldest sibling.

She's beautiful and funny, and she is a great mom to her girls. She's naturally very nurturing, to them, and everyone else around her. She takes care of all of us if we need it. We love you Misty, hope your birthday was great!

Potty Training and a Feast

There's a girl I know who is doing great with potty training, and hasn't gone potty in her diaper for like 48 hours. The same girl cooked us quite a feast last night. So much food, she ran out of cookware and had to use cutting boards and teacups to cook some of it.

Slide Poses

For some reason, Paige went down the slide like this today:

Then she stayed in the pose long enough for me to take a few pictures.

I'm posting this just because he's sweet. And oh so cute.

Circus Baby

We went to the park today, and Cason had his tongue sticking out as always. A little girl who followed us around for a good 10 minutes told Jess Cason was silly, (because of his tongue) and that we should put him in the circus. We're going to keep him instead.

Picture not really related.

I was helping Paige climb this ladder thing on the playground and the little boy that had just reached the top slipped and fell. It was great, I got to try and catch him with one hand, while still supporting Paige with the other. Of course I failed miserably and didn't even slow his descent. I do think I kept his head from slamming into the metal bars on the way down though, so that's something. His mom didn't seem to think I threw him down, so that was good too. And then I asked my sweet girl if she wanted to pick up the truck he dropped when he fell, which she did, and brought it to him while he was still screaming. She's a honey.

So are these two:

I spied them swinging together and having a talk, so I took secret pictures.

But then I got caught.

Dragon Tales

Hopefully I didn't get people's hopes up for something really hilarious, because really it's just funny to us probably. But Grama and Tyra cleaned out Grama's office the other day and found some pretty good stuff from when we were little kids. Including this edition of "Dragon Tales", the school paper at Manzanita Elementary. Please click on the above photo, to enlarge it and read Christopher's article: An Interview with Santa's Reindeer. I'm assuming the author and illustrator are one and the same. Haha. What a nerd.

4 Pokes for The Bwitz

Poor little Bwitz got 4 shots today. And he was so sweet and smiled at everyone in the office. (Bwitz is what Jess calls him. Actually, THE Bwitz. And usually it's said "Hi Ho the Bwitz. Nobody knows what it means.)

But look at his cute shoe.

Tonight Paige wanted some bread, so Jess gave her a slice and told her to say thank you. She walked away with her bread, and goes "Cank you Jess." Haha. "Cank" is how she says "Thank", not that you couldn't have figured that out. He hates when she calls him Jess. Except that it's funny.

P.S. Anyone who wants to laugh at Skifter, stay tuned for tomorrow's post. I want so badly to put it up right now. But I'm also SOOOO tired, and don't want to stay up scanning things. So wait for it.
