a disastrous party at the yorks...7.2

well, the evening started off harmlessly enough...all the kiddos smothering jake with attention like normal...
then, miss mary brought out the watermelon and there were smiles and messes all around...

griff even thought two slices at a time worked better than one...
and baby jake just made cute faces at us...with his terrible scratch/scab on his poor little nose...
we finished making a huge mess inside the house...
and headed outside for some popsicles and more FUN...
the fireworks were the "fun" that the daddies had in mind...notice how the children reacted...
jake. screaming.
drew covering his ears.
nina covering anna beth's ears.
ava covering her ears.
anna leigh. freaking. out.
~~~~~~~
somehow despite the childrens' reactions, the fireworks show continued...
once the torture was over, we did convince a few of the kids to play with the little sparklers...
we quickly called it a night after that...too much excitement and abuse for one night!!!
