I have never been so proud of my son as I was tonight. Jon's boat was not good at all. It was a great design it was just too wide for the rain gutter. Jon would blow and blow to get it accross the finish line. He came in LAST place every time, but he was such a good sport. He didn't give up once. We rewarded him by going out for red mango yogurt after the race. 
So the other day the girls had been begging me to let them do crafts w/ paint. I finally gave in and got out butcher paper and paint and set them up in the front yard. It got windy so they went into the garage. While in the garage I went into the backyard to mow the grass. I came back into the garage to find it covered in paint and their bodies covered in paint. After screaming a few obscenities I just laughed and took pictures. So I understand someday I will miss these messes, but right now I REALLY could live without these types of messes.
