Well it's almost Friday again. This week has been sort of a roller coaster. Soccer has started, so practices fill up our evenings. Even if their teams aren't practicing, the kids are out in the yard practicing. Drennan and Jude have been sick so our school has been slow this week. They are feeling much better though.

Last Sunday we had a Messy Party at church. It was so much fun! I totally recommend it to anyone wanting to throw a fun kid-friendly party.


We got a few ideas online for how to get messy, but we also came up with a few of our own.

Jude saw the other kids getting shaving cream in their hair so he had the idea of putting handfuls of flour on his hair. When his head got wet he looked like he was ready to go into the oven. ha.


I love this shot of Lila. She had just finished grabbing a powdered doughnut with her mouth.


A Messy Party is right up Micah's alley. He has no problem at all getting messy...unlike Drennan who hates it and was ready early on to get rinsed off.


Fun was had by all, including the adults who decided to get on the slip and slide. Tad flew down it! I tried to take some pictures of him from the other end, but for one thing I wasn't quite tall enough to look down at the slide and for another Tad came down it with such force that as I was leaning onto it to take the picture he nearly knocked me down.


We definitely want to make this an annual event!
