Water slide and tarps

Let’s all just be honest for a hot minute….. Birthday parties can get out of control these days.  In the last two years I have tried to find a way to get out of having my kids a party, and then I feel like a dirty dog so I give in.  Bitty changed his mind about 15 times on what kind of party he wanted to have.  Not that there are an abundant amount of choices, but still.  He settled on a tractor party, with tractor decorations, and playing in the yard.  Well, I told him it was entirely too hot to just play in the yard, so I enlisted the help of a water slide.

I, Jill Anthony Lamar, always have a Plan A and Plan B.  I am pretty sure I have changed a lot in recent days because there was NO Plan B!  Friday afternoon about 2:30 it started raining and pouring.  I was steadily mowing the yard when the bottom fell out.  Slight panic came over my body knowing that I might have over 20 children running inside my house.  I kind of didn’t give a lot of thought to it though.  By Saturday morning at 10:00 it was pretty!

The water-slide was a hit!  It was chilly at first, but little kids obviously have no internal thermostat!
The tarps were a nice addition so we didn't get grass all in the slide.

 I wasn’t a total Scrooge so I let people bring presents this year.  We won’t do presents on birthday party #6 though.  I just can’t deal with stuff everywhere.
 Bitty loves Elizabeth and he swears he's taller than she is... I'm not seeing it!
