4th of July celebration




hello! we had our Independence Day celebration today for our church. we were supposed to start lunch at 12 but no one was there. so we waited until about 1:30 and there was about half the congregation there so we figured we waited long enough and started eating. sure enough, everyone else arrived as we were dishing up food. arrg! then, me and Gloria were in charge of the 2-4 yr olds for games but she was working so I did it. we tried to hold them off until Gloria arrived but all the other games were starting so we had to start these too. first we (Sam,13 yr old sis, Amanda, Sam's 14yr old best friend and our cousin, and I), had to round up all the kids. there was only 8 of them but they would not stay in one spot while we looked for the others so that took about half an hour. then, after the 1st game, the kids did'nt wanna play anymore so that was kinda a letdown. Sam, 'manda and I made the cake in the pic above. it is a xbox for those who may not know. they(Sam ans 'manda) did'nt win anything for the 1st time in 3 yrs.! Boo hoo :( hey but it looked good don't you think? and it tasted even better. then we all wen't to my house. we shot a few water baloons (I didn't get wet), played so volleyball, and shot off some fireworks. it was sooooo cold! well, gotta go, its late, bye! oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox!

ps
for some weird reason the puter won't let me post the pic of the xbox cake. I'll try again tomorrow.

Guess what. Last Monday was wearing caprees you know. And now I have bug bites on the bottom of my legs and my feet. Very gross.

Cassi said...

ya, I have a really nasty one on the back of my leg. don't know how it got there cause I was completely covered up with pants, blankets and such.

you know what's really funny? Aimee, Britt,Lindsey and I all got bug bites on the back of our legs too! and we were all wearing pants and bug spray!

Kayla DeWaard said...

I have found that when I wear bug spray it atracts the bugs. So I never wear it anymore.
