I have to admit that I am really amazed at how a few toys can completely turn outside from kinda-cool-but-way-too-hot-to-last-long into ALL-DAY-ADVENTURE!!! We went garage sale shopping on Saturday and found a cute little plastic kitchen and a Fisher Price outdoor slide for $15 for the two. We brought them home, cleaned them off, set them up, and . . . I haven't seen my kids since! Just kidding -- I am glad, however, that we got them on a weekend cuz it helps a TON to have Dave keep watch while I get other things done while they play, play, play, play, play! Yesterday when we were cleaning them off, Abby ran out the door in her shirt and diaper . . . and we turned on the hose and had quite a flood on our little cement patio. All that means is that Abby was SOAKED! It was like she made her own slip and slide out of the water and slide and cement. She was having a BALL! I wish I had taken pictures, I really do. Note to self for next time. Isaac was a little more cautious about getting his shirt wet and going down the slide into the puddle of water at the bottom. But once Abby coaxed him into it a few times, he was hooked! I put on the brakes, though, when they started bending down and trying to drink the water off the patio! SOOOO GROSS!!!! I even told them so -- I mean there was grass and spider webs and ash from the fires we've had around here the last few weeks, all mixed into that water. Sick, sick, sick! Their response was simply to giggle, egging each other on to do it again!!!! Oh, kids!P.S. -- These pics aren't from this weekend, but they are kind of recent and pretty darn cute, and who doesn't like pictures, right? :-)
