Forgive me for taking so long to get up these pictures. Many of you know that it's been a tough week for me and that I've been fighting a recurring fever, headache, and a general achy feeling. We're doing better, so on to the "catch up!"
Krypto trying to figure out how to blow up the "balloon launcher"
It was definitely some work; but, the kids got a kick out of how high the balloons would fly and we had several times where they almost went on a roof or in a tree.
The three-legged races. Much more fun than I think anyone realized they would be. I didn't get any pictures of the water balloon fight...it took me over 30 minutes to fill up a bathroom trash can full of water balloons. They were gone in about 45 seconds :)!
Lois and Ariana ended up winning the award for "most races run"...every time they would say, "Can we go again?"
Then, we got the dads involved! There was a couple's race too; but, unless Len puts up some pictures, I might be safe ;)!
The girls challenged their dads.
Singing and eating the cake
Sitting outside and relaxing
Thanks Grahams for the "Laurel and Hardy" disc. We're on our 2nd time through. Everyone's favorite is "Busy Bodies" and we had secondary votes for "Music Box", "Finishing Touch" and "Double Whoopie." I think a Laurel and Hardy collection will be on our Amazon Wish List for a family Christmas gift this year...hint, hint!
Thanks Henslers for the Tin Tin book...that was a sure fire shot for Krypto as well!
Kites from the Devaishers. Yep, and we had a windy day or two this week as well...too bad Mommy wasn't up for going outside and trying them out. We'll get there! And, there was an Amazon gift card from the Clendinens....more books on his Kindle!
Happy Birthday to my big boy....9 years old now! Next up, we'll have a 7 year old in the house in 2 weeks!!!
