So last weekend we got to spend Saturday evening at the Stelse house celebrating Owen and Molly's birthdays. James had a fantastic time chasing the big kids around and enjoyed a healthy dinner of chex mix and jello cake!
(There was plenty of delicious food - but by the time we attempted to feed him - he was full!)
We brought Owen a big gift box filled with water balloons - filled, tied and ready to be thrown - I tried to channel my inner 9 year old and spent about an hour filling the balloons and carefully packing them into the box. Wished I had remembered to take a photo and put the second pack of unopened balloons in the box before wrapping though --- pregnancy brain I guess!
Owen and the other kids liked the gift and promptly used all of the water ammo - I realized I probably should have asked/warned Jen and Tim --- or at least the Grandpa's sitting next to the pile of presents! --- oops!
Good thing it was a hot sunny day - I don't think anyone minded too much!
Plus - what goes around comes around --- I think the water balloon fight caused some new puddles and by the time we went home - James looked like this!
It was a tiny puddle and I assumed it was truly just water.
At one point Jen's Dad came over to me with a role of paper towels and suggested I might need them... that was right about the time James turned around and smiled at us.
What a dirtball!
Thanks for a fun night Stelse family!
