What could be better?

I've been looking forward to this all day! What could be better than pudding, food coloring, kids, moms, and messes? Sounds awesome doesn't it? Yeah, it was loads of fun. I got the idea from my friend Trista Teeter (she's a good parent and actually plays with her kid). So I invited some friends over so their kids could finger paint with pudding. And just so everyone knows, vanilla pudding does dye well with food coloring. The kids didn't really get it at first, especially when I told them that they could eat it too. But they got it after a while, and it was just fun to get a little messy. Actually, they all stayed relatively clean..even my kitchen floor stayed pretty clean. I was expecting really big messes, but you can see for yourself that they were just too cute.

Kasey Bott, Madi Harper, and Maeli McLain (she didn't get to play in the pudding...Caden didn't either) and their moms came over and they all had a lot of fun. I think they liked eating it more than anything else though.

Today was just a great day all around. I took Maeli to play group in Moscow and stayed there until it was time for Beth to pick up Maeli. Dan was home when I got back (he had a break before his test today). Then it was lunch time, nap time for Kember, and Caden and I just played (well, he ate his lunch...he's an eater...look how happy he is about eating).

Anyway...Dan got home from his test (I think he did okay) and we got out the new potty I bought for Kember and her big girl underwear (thanks grandma J) and the plastic underwear I got. She was very excited about the underwear, not so excited about the plastic stuff (by the way, the only reason we got the stuff out is because Kember found the plastic stuff and wanted to wear it...we are not potty training yet, but I figured it couldn't hurt to get her used to it), and very excited about her new potty. I turned on a movie for her while she sat on it, and she actually did a little poop in the potty. When I say little, I mean little, but hey, it's progress. Anyway, here are some underwear and potty pictures I thought were too cute to pass up.
