It only takes a few minutes for this child to make some serious messes. We usually have a policy in our house that someone has to be with Kate at all times. There is no independent play when it comes to her. She can't just play in her room by herself. That is when she colors on the walls and everything else she sees in the room.



A few Sundays ago, we came home from church and took off her dress so she could have some traditional Sunday waffles. We love to have breakfast after church for dinner. Anyway, it was nice and warm, so I let her just eat in her diaper. She usually gets so sticky that we have to wash her clothes anyway. I am so glad that this time she didn't have any clothes on! After dinner while we were cleaning up the living room and the kitchen, Kate decided to paint herself with peanut butter. Holy cow did she make a mess! I was right there doing the dishes. How could I have missed that? We were so busy cleaning that I obviously didn't assign anyone Katie duty. :) We make sure that the peanut is one of the first things we clear off the table now.

It's been several years since we got out our huge slip-n-slide. The kids spent hours on it. You should have seen our lawn afterwards! We kept moving the plasitc around to different parts of the front yard, but it was still a big mud pit after we were done.

Kate didn't like it. Ky was nice to try and help her, but in the end, she was just too freaked out to do it. Maybe next year.

Ky and Braedon are always trying to ham things up for the camera. Mabye one of these days I will take the time to post a video on here. The plastic sheeting that we used is about 20 yards long, and the kids could use an extra 5-10! Ky usually ends up at the end on the grass/mud. He can really go down that thing.
