As soon as my kiddos walk in the door the past few mornings, the first thing out of their mouths is, "Can we go in the sprinklers today? Pleeeeease?" So, we have been waiting till after lunch to go out and run around since it's a little warmer later in the day.
You know how kids sometimes do random things and then it turns into something that they want to do ALL the time?! Well, apparently spreading towels out on the driveway and having Sawyer wrap them up really tightly is the best thing ever....(eye roll)... And of course he gets the biggest kick out of it because he gets to be the center of attention.
The other 'game' that they love is coming and sitting on my lap after they are all soaking wet! I knew I shouldn't have made such a to-do about it the first time, because now they just think it's hilarious to get me drenched :)
One very unpleasant thing for Sawyer is if any tiny droplet of water gets anywhere close to going up his nose....you would think that a spider had crawled up there and was laying eggs with the way that he reacts! There is yelping and fake sneezing, dramatic coughing and gagging...it's a big to do...that usually happens at least every ten minutes or so.
The kids just LOVE running around in the water and I love it too because it's makes them so tuckered out that nap time is a breeze! Of course we have wet towels always needing to get thrown in the wash, little swim suits hanging up to dry and a layer of spray-on sun screen coating the side of our house :)
