End of Summer Party

I got this crazy idea about 2 weeks ago to do a party for all the kids in the neighborhood. I mentioned it to Tim but then we sort of brushed it aside. The kids started asking though so I decided to go ahead and do it for today. I bought invitations and wrote them out yesterday and the kids delivered them to all their friends (25 kids total, including mine) and we waited to see what the turn out would be. Well, today was the day!!!! I bought hotdogs and chips and made a snack mix sort of thing. We filled almost 200 water balloons for a water fight. We ended up having 16 kids, including mine, so it was a great turnout. One of the girls and her brother brought ice cream over so that was an extra special treat. My friend Laura from school lives down the road about a mile from here and she brought her stepdaughter over, but otherwise there were no other adults, just Tim and I and Laura. The kids really seemed to have a lot of fun. Tim really got into the action too and organized the whole water fight, telling the kids where to go and what to do/not do. He also organized a water balloon toss and helped the kids with it.

Mikayla is now spending the night at her friend Katie's house and Katie's brother, Daniel, is here with Seth.
