Singin' the Blues.....

Recently we purchased a totally awesome water slide from Craig's' List. This thing blows up in under 2 minutes but provides hours of fun! We christened the slide on the 4th of July. The kids were a little afraid of it at first. Mia, as usual, warmed up to the new toy in seconds. After her first slide down she was hooked. Wes took a little prodding, but when we broke out the slide again this weekend, he went down like a champ. This is definitely one of our cooler Craig's List purchases. Below are a few pics.....















So about the title.......Our daycare has different fun events every day in the summer for the kids. Every Thursday is "Messy Day". You send your kids in crappy clothes that you don't care about, and they let them do all manner of sticky, slimy, super fun stuff. Recently I came to pick the kids up on a Thursday and they were still on their cots sleeping. The daycare staff informed me that the kids had a lot of fun doing messy day. this statement was followed by lots of laughter. A few minutes later, Wes and Mia awoke......then it became clear what all the fuss was about. My children looked like smurfs! I mean they were stained blue from head to toe. I hope the pictures come across so you can see for yourself......it was a good laugh.
