slip and slide



Today we had a few of the kids friends over, and we got out the slip n slide. I thought it would entertain them for a good hour at least, but it only lasted a mere 10 minutes. They decided filling up cups of water and dumping them into buckets was more fun. After lunch we made cupcakes and I let them decorate them by themselves. The jar of sprinkles ended up all over the entire floor. It was very colorful to say the least. While I was cleaning up the "artwork", they started giving James and Wes magic carpet rides. Neither of them seemed to enjoy it, but once the ride was over, both of them cried to get back in. Overall, we had a good time.I loved listening to their conversations. My favorite one: Jacob told Ty that heaven is buried deep in the ground. Ty looked over at me and asks, "did you already know that mommy?" To which I say, "Nope, I didnt know that." Ty looks at Jacob and says, "My mom knows everything, but you know more than her."

What a fun day. My kids live to have friends over. And they love even more to go to their friends houses.

Kids conversations are the cutest! And you are a way better mom than me. I don't think I would let them decorate cupcakes with friends. How nice of YOU!

Fun times! We're just thinking of doing the slip-n-slide tomorrow or the swimming pool. Am I crazy to try it with the weather like it is? Wish us luck!

Just think, next time you can save yourself the setting up time, and just get out some cups and buckets!
