Hangin' with the boys

Today I took a vacation day from work.

I was able to attend VBS (vacation bible school) with my boys and help in there class today.

It was kind of nuts in there.

They have 17 (yes---seventeen!) 3-5 year olds in one class - 1 teacher & 2 helpers (of course today I was helper #3)

After VBS we had my cousin Caleb & future bonus nephew Carter join us for the day.

(Note boys' ages - 6, 5, 4 & 3)

We headed to town to get some McD's (my special treat for the boys) & then home.

After eating our lunches we sat down & watched Gnomeo & Juliet.

Cute movie.

At the end I laughed about them riding off on a purple lawnmower (you know she's "red" & he's "blue" & together those colors make "purple".  The boys asked why I was laughing & I explained it to them.  Well Carter informed me that red & blue make yellow.  I was confused.  He explained to me to keep watching the credits.  Well at the end of the movie there are red & blue dots that are moving across the screen & when they cross over each other they do show yellow.

Light bulb! (thank you "Despicable Me" LOL)

I decided that we needed to do an experiment.

So I found my food coloring & got out some glasses & put some water in them.

I showed them how red & blue make purple.

Then we played around with some other color mixtures too.

They thought it was very cool!

After the color lesson we got our swimming clothes on & headed outside to play on the slip n slide.

 

  It was so much fun.

They had a blast.

I also brought out the pool that goes with our slide & they loved it.

We had a great day & those boys are welcome back anytime.

Not sure I would want 4 boys of my own.

I mean come on, let's face it, it was 1 day for about 5 hours.

Hope you all had a good day too!
