School Carnival of Mud!!!

The s' school had a carnival yesterday. We were so excited to go and to finally do something as a family here in Houston. Well, the day before we went it rained here all afternoon which made for a muddy playground area where the carnival was being held the next morning. No lie, within 5 minutes of being at the carnival all 5 of us had been sunk into mud at least one time. Bella got stuck first, of course, and when I was rinsing her feet off in a puddle of water I sunk into mud myself and my flip flop got stuck. The picture that I am displaying is Bella's second time of being stuck and if you look closely you can see both flip flops in the mud! Kensington got stuck too and Brae and Cali got muddy shoes. It was a nightmare that cost me an arm and leg so I wasn't too happy right off the bat but then I thought I could at least snap some pictures of it and put it on my blog to get some laughs and that made me feel a little better. We walked down the muddy row but there was no water supply available to us to clean up so we loaded up (all the muddy feet in the very back of the car) and we came home to clean up. When we went back we were better prepared to stay clear of the mud. It was a good time at that point. The s got their hair done (which after shampoo and conditioner still has bright green and blue streaks on their scalp), played games and did numerous bounce houses and obstacle courses. We had cotton candy and snow cones and had a good time overall.
