To end the summer with a bang we hosted the neighbors for a Labor Day BBQ. We are so lucky to live next these great people! After a yummy dinner, which I took no pictures of, we ended the evening with an all out war. I thought it would be great fun to give the kids (10 in all) each a can of shaving cream and let them have at it.
Instead of getting all messy with this fight they were really getting clean, right? Shaving cream is just like soap, right? Work with me here. My theory was that they would get good and messy/clean and then we would send them all off to the showers and into their beds so they’d have plenty of sleep for the first day of school. (Of course I didn’t take into account what would happen to all of our houses when these ‘clean’ children traipsed through them to get to the showers. Sorry neighbors!)
The one worry we had was ‘It is all fun and games until somebody loses an eye’, or at least gets shaving cream in it. So the very clever Mr. Fun suggested that the participants all wear swim goggles. Brilliant! (Although I think Kate would have also liked a snorkel because she did not enjoy the flavor I picked out!)
Here’s how the fight turned out…
The only one not amused by this war was Cooper. Let’s just call this collateral damage.
