Orange Day

Since Stephanie and I would both be moving, we decided we had better do another color day.

So, a few days before we moved, we had Orange Day.

Of course we started out with an orange breakfast 

Our orange day was kind of a last minute idea, so I went around my house and gathered everything orange I could find.

We played with orange balloons while we waited for Creed's arrival.

Then Creed came over, and we decorated bags with orange stickers and markers. 

We tied an orange string outside that led them to all kinds of orange treasures.

These slinky's were a huge hit. Good thing I bought them 6 months earlier right after Halloween....

Larry, Ollie, and Steph

The boys spent a good share of the afternoon playing outside with their slinky's.

Ollie wasn't having a fabulous day, but he sure is cute.

What do you eat for lunch on Orange Day?

Orange chicken from Panda Express of course!

Tim didn't have an orange shirt, but Ford's picked him up one right after lunch (thanks guys)!

Tyler thought it was pretty awesome to go out to lunch with his friend. 

The lady sitting a few tables away didn't appreciate their enthusiasm.

After lunch we ate orange suckers (did some more packing), and finished off the night with an orange dinner.

Complete with grilled cheese and orange cupcakes for dessert!

Green Day

Yellow Day and Red Day were so much fun, 

we didn't see any point in stopping there.

So Green Day was next....

Our Green Day started off with green eggs (no ham... my kids don't like ham) and green apples. Let's be honest, the eggs look gross, but Jax chowed them down. 

Then we made our way over to the Ford's for some Green Day fun...

Jesse and his mom, Melissa, came over to join in the green day festivities.

Stephanie read the boys Green eggs and ham.

And then we sent the boys on a treasure hunt Stephanie had put together.

They found clues that led them to green treasure.

Like green suckers.

And green star glasses.

Then we played with Jesse's green turtle.

Jaxen and Ollie..

Isn't he being sweet?

Don't be fooled.

Right after I took this picture, he tried to step on Ollie's head.

They painted alligator toys. 

Green, of course. 

While Jaxen watched from a distance...

Last time I let Jax paint he sampled some paint.

Then Stephanie provided us all with a delicious green lunch.

She even had lettuce wraps for the adults. 

The day would not have been complete without green jello....

Creed thought the green cake was fantastic.

After lunch, the boys put on green frankenstein masks and danced to the Monster Mash song.

After they were all danced out, we went outside to play with our green day treasures.

We finished off the night with green chili enchiladas and lots of green side dishes.

Thanks for planning such a fun day, Steph!

What should the next color day be...?
