Good Bye Lillie!

We have had a really great friend come into our lives for the past 6 months.  Parker's relative from Holland came to stay to be her Nanny for a few months.  It turned out terrifically for us because they would come play once a week.  Fun for the kids and fun for me to have adult company.  She is a super sweet girl, who has now headed off to travel to Vancouver, the States and then back home before going to University in the fall.  We had many really fun play dates, but here are a few pictures of one of the last (and messiest) ones.

So, the craft of the day was painting with shave cream and food colour.  Sounded neat when I found it on the internet... not so much.  GIANT mess.  I couldn't even get a picture of Smith or P "paint" because the was shave cream and food colour EVERYWHERE.  One of those good idea, bad ideas!

Here is Sam and Parker playing hide and seek with Lillie while I put Smith down for his nap.  They were caught red-handed in the panty (note Parker's fingers... apparently next to impossible to get red dye off small hands!)

Busting loose!

Lillie with the kiddos... Sam sure does love her!

Parker kickin' it in Sam's clothes because her outfit didn't make it out of the craft clean.  I think she makes a very cute little tomboy!

Thank you Lillie for all your days with us... the laughs and chats, many cups of team, your love of the kids and time for me... it all was so wonderful.  If you are ever this way again, please don't forget to visit!
