a very messy birthday

Erin's marvelous messy party was Saturday. Turning 4 was a great occasion to make a mess. A really big mess. All manner of mud, slime, pudding, shaving cream, paints, and silly string were used.

Cousin Mallory was a lady bug. A very dirty lady bug. Her little brother Ben won the mudcakes eating contest with 4. The chocolate hardly made a dent in his dirty crusty clothing.

Anthony was willing to get a pie in the face and then some cheetos to boot.

So often all kids hear is "don't get your clothes dirty." This was the day to feel squishy mud between your toes. And when looking clean made you look rather out of place. Pig pen would have been proud of these kids. The goodie bags even included a bar of soap and a wash cloth!


Angie and Jackson enjoyed checking out the shinanagans.
