Finger painting gone wrong!

Well, Gloria was given some paints for her b-day. The kids have been asking repeatedly to use them. I gave in this weekend and let them paint while I was doing dishes... when I looked outside, let's just say I immediately grabbed the camera!! The kids had fun, and clean up was fun also, although the tub water was bluish black and so I had to wonder if they were getting clean at all.

The fire house

We have a fun little group of mommies who take field trips once a week to different locations. This past week we went to the fire station. What a fun time. The kids learned how to STOP-DROP-AND ROLL. They got hats and stickers and coloring books.

Gloria's birthday

We celebrated Gloria's birthday this week. We had such a fun time!! We had a "Knight's and Princess" party. Travis made swords out of swim-noodles, plastic piping and duct tape. What a great idea. The kids had a blast. We also played "Dungeon and Dragon"- a game of tag (basically) where I was the dragon and I chased the kids. When they were tagged, they went to the dungeon, and the only way to get free was to have another kid come and tag your hand and help you off of the couch (that was our dungeon). Eventually, all the kids got a turn to be the dragon- which they loved. We also built towers- the knights against the princesses. I gave the kids 20 blocks apiece, had my hubby get out a measuring tape, and we had the teams see who could build the tallest "tower". The winning team (the girls) were served cake and icecream first. It was a great time. A super simple party- one of the best!
