The weather has turned a little cooler....the mornings are crisp and the grass is full of dew. The afternoons have been a nice 75-80 degrees. Perfect weather to be outside in enjoying the yard. The kids have grown to LOVE the water this summer, but now the pools are taken down and stored away until next year so whats a mom to do when her children are whining and crying about wanting to go swim? (note this was written in September....I am not crazy and letting my kids run in the sprinkler in OCTOBER!)
Bust out the sprinkler!!!!
So I did just that. I snuggled up in my hammock and let the kids run around in their swimsuits. I remembered doing the same thing with my sister when we were little. Before, the kids hated the sprinkler because they didn't want the water to get in their face. However on this day, they didn't even think twice about running through all the streams of water that the little Ariel sprinkler was spinning out.
They took turns, they laughed, they shrieked, and just had the best time. After an hour or so it started to loose it's interest, and they started wandering around to do other out door things, I left it running, thinking at least the grass was getting a good drink. Minutes later I look over at Ariel again and Dani has decided that she is thirsty...so she starts drinking out of the sprinkler....soon after that Parker comes to join her. It was just too cute and funny I had to get the camera. This is my view from the hammock.
