But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

1 Cor 15:10 (Emphasis mine. As always.)

Entertaining the Masses/Belated Easter

Even more ways to keep the masses entertained:

Makenzie is so sweet to Sarah, she's the little Mommy of the group.


Cheap Summer Idea #2: Fill spray bottles with water and add food coloring.  The kids then make "murals" by spraying the colored water on white sheets I got at the thrift store for $2.50.  They LOVE this one.  And best of all, it's completely washable, so it comes out of the sheets and their clothes (GASP, can you imagine they spray each other!!).

  

POP ICE!! 
Nana is an ice chewer, and she turned Sarah on to it.  Sarah wants any ice you have floating in your cup at any given moment.  So, take that ice, add some high fructose corn syrup and a little artificial flavor and color and BAM, you have Sarah's new favorite snack.




And the shaving cream slide is fun for the adults too.  Jason took a video of me doing it, which turned out not-so-flattering, so I chose to put Andrew on the blog instead.


There was an audible "thud" followed by a groan when he hit the ground.  So head first on your back, not such a good idea.




Picnic in the living room!  We're replacing our carpet with hardwood this week and had nowhere for the kids to sit to have their dinner.  But they didn't care one bit. Picnic?  YES!  After the picnic the Dads turned on some music and we had  dance party in the living room.  I tried, and failed, to post the video I took of the event.  Just know it was awesome!


And some belated pictures taken on my actual camera.



Our little sweeties after hunting Easter eggs.


A few weeks after Easter my parents packed up their Southlake house after it sold and moved to Montana.  This was the last time before the move that they saw all the kids.  It was so fun, we all loved every minute of it.


Our three generations of ladies.  Love you Mom!!
