Fun with Friends

There is nothing like a little outdoor summer fun with friends!  The warm summer days will soon be coming to an end.  We had to squeeze in a little more fun with our friends from next door.  A few weeks ago I stopped at the dollar store to pick up supplies for Em’s birthday party, and I picked up a few cans of shaving cream for finger painting.  I don’t remember where I read that suggestion {most likely from HP/PAI friends} but it was so fun.  I brought out my camera, but was making quite the mess myself, so Kristy was kind enough to take pictures while we all played.

The kids were all a little unsure with the idea at first, and poked at it with one finger, but the warmed up quickly.

Lilly wanted to finger paint too.  But she bounced on the horse instead. :)

Tate (I think?) decided to move from finger painting on the table to finger painting on himself.

And Hudson decided to finger paint on himself too.

Then there’s Em.  I’m not sure what she was doing, or how she got the shaving cream on her forehead.

They all smelled manly fresh when they were done.  I’d say it was successful summer fun with friends!  We’ll have to do it again sometime.

So, what is your favorite thing to do with toddler and pre-school age kids?  I’d love more ideas.
