Color Run After Effects!

While the Color Run was a blast and the kids had so much fun, they couldn't say the clean up afterwards was a blast. After long showers with heavy scrubbing, tons of soap, shampoo, and conditioner, the kids are mostly clean.

Before their showers!

After their Showers!

APG 2015 Color Run (Warning Picture Heavy)

The kids had the opportunity to volunteer for the base color run today and they had a blast. Celidah is the only one that chose not to participate since she is on the Prom Court this year and did not want to be all stained up. Not to mention coming home late last night from the Mormon Prom, Color Run, high school prom without a chance to sleep would not have been good for her.

So for the color run the kids got to spray powdered color on the runners and walkers. Zach, Ellie, and Corbyn were at the yellow station of Raining Sunshine as they called it. Here is just a few of the over 350 pictures we have taken today.

Go Cart Racing Zoom Zoom

Saturday we had a very long day and needed something to do to kill some time. Our day in Baltimore started with Ellie having a roller skating birthday party with one of her classmates.

For Ellie this party was not only a big deal for her, but the parents of the birthday child listened to Grace (her friend) and when Grace told her parents that Ellie is allergic to everything but applesauce and cotton candy, the mom contacted me. She wanted to know if it would be ok for them to provide some cotton candy just for Ellie during the cake cutting. Of course I was not only excited, but very grateful as these parents not only thought about her, they wanted wanted to provide something safe and fun, then in the goodie bags gave only toys. The mom did this so that Ellie would feel included with all the other kids.

Well after the party we looked at cars. LOL to the annoyance of the dealers we were only looking and not buying. If they tried to push up into a car that day we politely let them know we had to wait for our house to close so we knew how much we would have for another car. Reminding them about the pending sale of our Colorado house kept them from pushing to hard.

Car shopped out we still had 2 hours before our conference meeting. With the meeting being an hour from the house, driving an hour just to drop Ellie off at the house was not something we really wanted to do. Especially, since that meant we would drop her off and leave right away for our meeting.

We found the go cart track. Frank had been wanting to take Celidah go cart driving for a daddy daughter day anyway, so now he had both his red heads with him. Even better was learning that Ellie is finally tall enough for any track! This made both dad and Ellie very excited, so we got tickets for dad and the girls. I had fun taking pictures!

Celidah and Jade off to prom! Yes that is right both girls are old enough to attend the prom together. This will be Celidah's final year and Jade's first year. They had fun helping each other get things ready, helping with make up and giving makeup hints to each other. I did Celidah's hair for tonight and took some pictures.

Oh and I just had to play with the pictures afterwards. Yes I had fun!
