Yep, Newel is an old man now...almost 30. We celebrated his birthday last Tuesday by meeting him at the Oval for a picnic lunch.We all had a good time. Arden was pretty relaxed, as you can see in the picture, he laid on the grass and happily ate his sandwhich. He was a bit sad when Newel had to go back to class, but riding the bus back home made it all better. It was a warm day...the beginning of the heat wave.
After we got home, I wanted the kids to make a card for Newel. We got paper and paint out, and this is what they did. It took me longer to set up and clean up than the amount of time they spent painting. They had fun, and after all that painting, the kids took a bath...the tub water was color
ful.
We finished the evening by going out to dinner. The children were wonderfully well behaved, and we all had a good, relaxing time.

I still have the pictures of Arden's artwork (on body and floor) hanging up in my room. It's time to add this update. Thanks, Karen! Only love could get you through that kind of mess.
I LOVE that! You are the kind of mom that more kids need!!
