Bella's Birthday & Party

Cali's Birthday & Party

 Cali had a few friends come for a sleepover

They did a water balloon war

 When I left them alone to play outside for a few they decided to make handprints in the street with paint

:( 

 Kensi volunteered (I think it was her idea to do the handprints in the first place) to scrub them up

Single Adult Shenanigans

Last Saturday we went to the largest single's activity I'd ever been to. It was really fun! They had it at someone's property that had a big pond/lake with open space for playing. We brought dinner and they provided grilling for s'mores at the end of the night.

Before the activity they encouraged us to bring water balloon launchers for a competition they would have. At first I wasn't going to worry about it but as the activity got closer I felt inspired to make one! Kensington googled ways to do it and we came up with this!

 The morning of the activity I was staying over at Shannon's house with her kids & mine. When I watch the kids I like to sleep with Bentley & Ashton in bed with me. I think I'm glutton for punishment. 

We had a rough early morning and I found myself awake at 5am. My cell was being charged on the floor so I checked out Facebook for about 15 minutes then turned my phone off. I went to stand up into the bed to climb up but instead I stood up directly into the night stand. My eye instantly swelled as well as my nose. I don't remember it hurting as much as I remember hoping the swelling would go down by the afternoon activity later that day!

Instead I woke up with a black eye. It's been nine days and it's still healing!!
