We had a great and terrible time at Kaitlyn's 3rd birthday party yesterday!

The terrible part was that Ethan took Dylan for a little walk while Esme and I were watching Kaitlyn open gifts, and a few minutes later Ethan came running back with Dylan screaming in his arms. Somewhere along the path Ethan had looked down and there were a couple bees on Dylan, and then when he tried to brush them off, more kept appearing. He got him away from there as fast as he could, but Dylan got 4 bee stings and Ethan got 3. Someone at the party had some Benadryl cream and the stings didn't swell up or anything, but it was super scary, especially coming from an allergic family, to have poor Dylan screaming his head off from the stings! He recovered within a few minutes and was back in the field playing with the other kids.

The greatest part was that there was a huge water fight! Tom started it. He flicked water at me with his fingers, then Lisa poured ice down his back on my behalf. Then he got me with a water bottle and then we got him with a big bucket. Then all hell broke loose and everyone at the party started getting each other with buckets, dishpans, squirt guns, and whatever else they could get their hands on. It was crazy, hilarious, wonderful chaos. Dylan was right in the thick near the faucet and had the time of his life splashing with a little cup.
