Revenge...Can life get any better?

So one of the things we have done ever since Kellsie was little, was to fill up a bunch of water balloons and wait until Jeff gets off work and soak him.

When the kids were small, Jeff would be nice and let them hit him with water balloons. Now that the kids are older, Jeff gives them NO MERCY! The kids end up soaked every time.

Last night the kids wanted to do water balloons again, I knew how it would play out if we used the same organization. So we changed it up. We asked the girls across the street to help us out. Jillian is 12 yrs, Mary is pictured below and is 14 yrs and Maureen is 16 yrs. We had three water faucets filling up balloons. All the mixing bowls and pictures from both of our homes filled with water balloons. We placed them in all the bushes at our house and their house. We put some under cars, between fences and each kids had their own container.

Here is Mary. She caught Jeff in the corner of a fence and pelted him with water balloons until she ran out! She is the hero of the story. If you can tell Logan is jumping up and down with excitement! Jeff was so soaked and Logan was thrilled about it.


before Jakob would throw a balloon, he would bite it, so it started leaking. He is under the impression that it pops faster that way. IT worked, Jakob hit his dad many times!


Here are all the kids joining Mary in corralling Jeff by the fence and hitting him with everything they had. THE PROUDEST DAY OF MY LIFE!



At one point Jeff ran in the house to take off his work shoes, because they were really wet. Kellsie was waiting for him to come back outside. Jeff (the whimp that he turned out to be) was sneaking out the back door, around the back fence to sneak up on his sweet little girl behind her. But it didn't work. Mary saw him and tossed a picture of water on him.
Jeff usually turns on me sometime during the fight, but he didn't want to miss and hit my belly (thank heavens!).
The kids had a blast. Jeff was impressed and I got tons of pics of Jeff soaked. Once he approves the ones of him, I will upload them. They are the best!
