This probably should have been a week where I broke the projects into days, but I didn't so this is a long post. Monday we had a water day. It was so hot out which made it a perfect day for it. It took Brad and me about 45 min to fill up all the water balloons and the kids about 2 min to pop all 150 or so of them. It was a fun 2 min though.
They all had a water gun also. It was fun to watch them try to shoot them because they got really close before they would shoot the water.
They don't quite get how to do a slip n' slide but that makes it fun to watch.
Tuesday I didn't feel like doing anything which made our project going to Orange Leaf. The kids love to pick their own things, so it was a fun thing for them.
Wednesday we had a camp out in the back yard. We had hot dogs for dinner... yes I ate a hot dog. The first full one I have had in years. We did wrap them in bacon, but I have to say it didn't help the flavor much. It will be many years before I have another. The kids loved just playing in the tent. We found a milk weed in our yard.
Cam made a beard.
Beck put the 'milk' on his chest and spent the rest of the night trying to pick the sticky stuff off.
Jacks had a blast.
Then he got worn out.
Emery was tired also by the end of the night.
Maybe we should have found a bigger tv... oh well.
No camp out is complete without smores. We used the grill to cook them and they turned out great.
Thanks to it being the day before fireworks, lots of people thought they should light off fireworks, so the kids got a little freaked out and couldn't sleep with the noise. Our camp out became a camp in, but the kids still thought it was awesome. Jackson was happy, he was glad to sleep in his bed and not the tent.
Thursday our project was fireworks. I really hate fireworks, but the kids love them. Jackson didn't get that it was fire and ran towards on of them. It made a pop noise and he quickly ran the other way. We only got a few in thanks to some big wind storm that came in. I wasn't too disappointed.
All of the kids were so tired from the night before they were all out by 8:30. It was nice.
Today's project was a game day. The kids usually have only 1 hour of games they can play a day. Today they had unlimited as long as they didn't fight. We were gone a lot in the morning so it didn't end up being as much as it sounds. Plus by 6 the boys had a few big fights so they were done for the day after that. You think they would learn to not fight.
