First Day Of Sprinkling
It was 83 here and the children persuaded me to get out the sprinkler.
But first ~ here's a pic I promised Carrie -- for Carrie and Nik, who I miss very much.
Left to Right ~ Little D, Gark, Tobi-Wan (he was the baby when you were here, Nik! He's 6 now, can you believe it?) Buzz (in the mud hole), Iliacat, and Eminoodle.
And now:
Sprinklers + Sun = Thirsty Children:
Sprinklers + Fun = Leapin' Children:
And, of course, Sprinklers + Dirt = Mud:
those were great! i loved seeing all your kids together. that one in the mud hole is a cutie pie. and him eating the water is precious. looks like a very fun day. must have topped the jello day.

Posted by: Shari at May 24, 2007 2:07 AMGreat action photos. You're such a fun mom! My kids asked for the sprinkler yesterday but I said no. Their swimming suits are packed away somewhere.
Posted by: Julie in MI at May 24, 2007 7:33 AMthose are great pictures! I love how toddlers' large heads allow them to counterbalance their bottoms stuck out so far :o) and the expression on Buzz on the right-hand photo is priceless. Love the airborne Noodle with eyes closed too. what fun!
I was lucky - when the kids got home from school our thermometer said 78, two degrees short of the "required" 80. (hooray for Moogie's rules!) :o) We did have one rather low-key sprinkler day two weeks ago which got shut down after two little monkeys started crying about an older monkey turning the water pressure up and down... :o/

Posted by: Peggy at May 24, 2007 9:10 AMLovely pics! It would be a good day for the sprinkler here, except for the fact that they are doing our roof so we have to stay away from the house.
Posted by: Rosanne at May 24, 2007 9:43 AMWhat a precious bunch! I love the girls' swim suits! Did you make those? Glad to see your enjoying the warm weather
Posted by: For a Season at May 24, 2007 12:11 PMDitto on the girls swimsuits! Where did you find them?
My oldest son is looking over my shoulder and reminding me that HE asked for the sprinkler yesterday as well. I wasn't being a mean mom but we did have the Whites over and they didn't have water clothes, so no sprinkler. But today, watch out lawn, here we come!
after math of course :)
Posted by: karen at May 24, 2007 1:11 PMHey! We both have action shots on our blogs. heh heh.
You may have gotten your girl's bathing suits at the same place we did! I forget the name and we have a different pattern, but it looks about the same. :)
I did have Matthew do several flips for me. But, those were all from one flip. I will be going to one of his gymnastic practices and getting some more shots soon. Yea! I've never been to one of his practices before.
Have a wonderful Friday! Hugs, Robin

Posted by: staci at May 25, 2007 6:50 PMThat looks like so much fun! Perhaps my kids should do that and water my parents' lawn at the same time. Everything is turning brown around here.
