Messy, messy, fun!

One of the joys (or headaches--depending on the day) of being a mommy is coming up with fun, stimulating and time-consuming things to do with my kiddos. Today it was finger painting in the front yard! It lasted about a 1/2 hour, which, for my kids, is a pretty good run on a project. It did require a bath afterward, but was well worth the mess! Thank the Lord for washable paint!

Independence Day.

Happy July 4th! As per usual, the Nichols were busy, but had a blast. Breakfast at Grandpa and Manamana Bouterie's, swimming at the great grandparents' Harris' house, naptime at home, dinner, waterslide and water balloons at the Uncle and Aunt Roane's and finally fireworks and Grandpa and Grandma Nichols. Whew! Busy is the way we like it!
