Well, I hate to point out the obvious, but summer is really going by quickly... School starts in exactly 2 weeks and 6 days, and I find that very horrifying! I love summers with my kids home! Do I sound like a broken record?? I love summers with my kids home....
And they definitely enjoy being home. Seems like every day is a new opportunity for them to test the boundaries of their limitless imaginations. It's hilarious to watch what new thing they'll think of to do next. For example the car wash.
Yesterday, and like every day previous for the past several weeks, the kids headed outside as soon as they were done with breakfast to see what adventures awaited for them in the Back Yard. It's an actual destination spot. "Let's go to the Back Yard when we get home!" "Can we go to the Back Yard tomorrow?" "We had so much fun in the Back Yard today!!" I would've thought they'd be bored to pieces of the Back Yard by now, given that it's VERY SMALL.... But no. Adventure, ON!
So they headed outside to the Back Yard, and my husband and I sat down at the kitchen table to enjoy our habitual morning cup (okay POT) of coffee together. It's not unusual to hear the water hose running because they know they're supposed to water all the flowers and tomato plants for Mom everyday, but this time it seemed to be on for an extra long time. We weren't paying much attention to what they were doing till we heard, "I know! Let's put all the dinosaurs through the car wash too!"
They'd apparently hijacked most of the toys from their bedrooms and had them all lined up along with the cars, the bikes, the furniture, anything "washable" really, and were hosing them all off. They of course were all soaking wet, and since we live in weirdo northern California where it doesn't hit 60 degrees till about noon these days, they're teeth were chattering away!
Gotta hand it to them for ingenuity. I'm thinking I now know why the big spike in our water bill last month....
Viva la summer!
