Yesterday our computer was giving us trouble. Paige recently discovered a game on the My Little Pony website, and she loves it. 5 kids come up to her one at a time and order a burger. They all want different things, like lettuce, pickles, fries, etc. Each kid orders progressively more, and she has to try and remember what to put on their burger. Anyway, she was playing it and the computer kept turning itself off in the middle of her game. I finally told her, "Well, let's just get ready to go get daddy from work. He'll fix it when we get back." She goes "Okay. Maybe we can play it at Misty's!" (We were going there for a birthday dinner last night) I said "Yeah, we probably could." I went to get a few things ready to go, and when I walked back in, she had the monitor moved to the edge of the desk and turned sideways, the mouse hanging off the desk, and the keyboard on the chair. She was under the desk looking for a way to unplug the computer. I asked what she was doing, and she said she was trying to get the computer ready to take to Misty's. Haha, so cute.
Their shared room is all set up, except for Cason needs bedding, which we'll pick up in Phoenix tomorrow. And then of course I'll probably paint some thing for the walls. For now Cason's bed has girly polkadot sheets. He doesn't mind though, he immediately takes everyone who comes over to see his big boy bed.
They spent a good portion of our morning yesterday playing in their new room. Paige tucked him in and he pretended to sleep, then she'd "sleep" in her bed nearby.
They also each had a "clock" on their nightstands. Paige's clock was actually an elephant toy, and Cason's was a toy mailbox. Here Paige is setting his alarm I guess.
They've been doing ridiculously cute and funny things lately. I told Paige my mom (Grannybob) was coming over, and bringing cookies the other day. She goes "COOKIES!? Because she loves me?" I said "Yep, she loves you." and Paige goes "BRILLIANT."
We picked Faith up from school the next day, so she was over here for a while. Paige and Faith were standing side by side, about a foot apart. Cason walked up between them from behind, and put an arm around each of their waists. Then he just stood there for a second smiling up at each of them. It was nuts. I couldn't even think about moving for my camera before the moment ended. :( It'll forever be in my heart though. Haha.
TODAY I was helping Colton with math, and at one point I heard Paige in the playroom saying "no, not yet buddy." After a few seconds she goes "Okay, ANYBODY(which means "everybody" when she says it) START THE CONCERT! ANYBODY SING!" I turned around just in time to see Cason reach over and push the button on his singing stuffed donkey, who immediately started swaying and singing "Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch" while Paige and Cason danced on top of the toy bins in front of an audience of stuffed animals. There are so many reasons I love this. First of all, the 10 or 15 animals in a perfect line in front of them. Then the fact that Cason had a JOB to do, starting the music, when she gave the command. And just the fact that they were having a concert at all, or even know the word "concert". Geez.
Paige tamed her dancing down a little when she noticed us watching, and Cason totally stopped dancing and said "NO." Then he got down and started diving on audience members. Paige was really upset and tried to shield them with her body, but instead accidentally scratched Cason's face when she tried to cover some of them. So he screamed, and when she realized she hurt him she looked down at her hands and then ran crying to her room. The concert ended badly, her crying and Cason bleeding from his nose and a spot under his eye.
But now that a half hour or so has gone by I just saw her softly touching his face and heard her say "Oh, poor buddy. Look at your eye." :)
I couldn't really get any good pictures from the show, with all the commotion, so here's one from the playdate yesterday that I love.
Jess actually did the work. I dug up a few weeds. I'd do like 2 at a time, and that was enough to make me winded and I'd start to feel nauseous. So I'd rest a while, and repeat. Cason was so excited to play outside. Paige came out in her pjs (or adult sized t shirt) and Jess found her the first ladybug of the year. She was pumped, and I went to get the camera. When I got back out she was saying it flew away, and looked disappointed. I told her "That's okay, I'll just get a picture of you. Smile." Right as I was about to take her picture I spotted the lady bug in her hair. She was happy about that.
Later this afternoon she heard birds chirping, and I guess because she's into Snow White and Sleeping Beauty she held her hand up and called out "Come ON little birdies, come on to me. Come on to my hand." She was pretty disappointed when no birds came to land on her finger.
Jess had a basketball game tonight, so he had his dinner late. The boy keeps on eating like a champion, so he told Jess "SOME!" and climbed on to his lap. He likes almost everything, but he kept pointing and telling Jess "KWARN", which is "corn".
He's been getting funnier and funnier with his toys. He plays like such a boy. He'll bring me a toy, usually this little plastic kitten, and he'll have one or two "guys" of his own. They'll say "HI!" and before long he'll start slamming his toy into mine, and ask "funny?" So I'll tell him "No, it's not funny, you hurt me!" and fake cry. Then he goes "Sad?" and makes a sad face. They also fall a lot, screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" all the way, and the other toys have to "help".
