Flying A Smores Kite

Oh my, the joys of summer are underway! It's day #3 of summer vacation and already the water balloons are in a time out!
First Nicholas and his friends were filling the balloons with a little bit of water so they are super bouncy and throwing then up on the roof and catching them. It was all fun till over half of them ended up in the rain gutters! A ladder, a hose, a mad mother and 2 hours later all was well...till yesterday.
This winter they made snow balls and put them in the garage freezer then had a fantastic snowball fight the first day of summer. That was so much fun they decided to fill enormous water balloons and put them in the freezer...not knowing they will expand and break before they freeze. Luckily they started breaking when the first ..oh, 25 or so went into the freezer...and guess who got to clean up the huge amounts of water flooding my freezer and rolling out and into the refrigerator below while the boys ran away to escape the wrath!! Thank goodness it was the garage floor that took the brunt of the water, not my kitchen floor. But alas, we all survived another day of summer vacation! Gotta love boys!
And you wonder why I can't get any stamping done??

  3. This card made me laugh! It is so funny. I have NEVER had one of those things: smores......one day I will have to try one. I may have seen them but my parents never did these type of snack or sweet...(can you imagine!) Now that I way older, I know about this snack but not liking sweets too much, havn't tried to makeit but I will try to make the card! Thanks for sharing.
