The day started with the kids making breakfast. They had made me breakfast for Mother's Day, and hubby said that he didn't do anything at all. Well, apparently he lied because the Kevin said "Daddy helped us more than you did." So I started helping out more. But the kids basically made eggs, biscuits, hash browns, toast, and gravy on their own! I had no idea that Gwyn was such a guru on biscuits. All I did was measure the dough and help stir. She rolled the dough with the rolling pin, cut the biscuits with a cup, and then put them on the cookie sheet. Kevin did the eggs, with little help from me, as well as the hash browns and the toast. (I pretty much just reminded to stir or get the bread out. When it got hectic I started to help stir.) Both Colin and Kevin made the gravy. Colin took control of the table, making sure it was set and that jelly and butter were out. He did a great job, and had napkins for everyone.
After breakfast we headed out for a walk, and then stopped to look at houses on the way home. (I love looking at model homes. I have a feeling that was more for me.) Then we returned home and had the best water fight. It took about 40 minutes to get all the balloons ready, and we used our water guns from the Pirate Pontoon from Trout Lodge. The kids were set up in the tree house and we were in the yard. There were a few pauses to refill buckets, but it was non-stop water fights. We would sneak around and get behind the defenses set up in the tree house. Gwyn would switch sides. Colin tried to steal our water balloons. So much fun!
Afterward while we were grilling and getting ready for Kevin's parents to come over, the kids played on their two new slip n slides. I asked Kevin what he wants to to type and he said "It was a great time. We have great kids."

| Yup. I had to help with kneading, but she took over after a few seconds. |

| Gwyn took the empty basket and turned into a turtle. Clever girl. |
