We have been using the hose and sprinkler almost every day to cool off, with or without bathing suits... because after a long bike ride a water fight is the best way to cool down :)
John took a two week trip which lead to James sleeping in the hallway again so he can hear if John comes home. Its a sweet thought but would never work because James sleeps like the dead.
Since John was gone for Mother's Day, I took the kids over to a neighbors house. The kids played in the water outside ALL DAY. I don't know how they weren't wrinkly cold messes by the time we went home, but they were exhausted - so I will take that as a win in the Mother's Day column.
Madeleine loves guacamole - she can literally smell it out in any house and then will eat it all. Its pretty impressive.
James is extremely into Legos right now - he is constantly reading the manuals that he has on how to put them together and trying to figure out how to make bigger models out of what he has. He is also always trying to bargain his way into getting more Lego sets. So far, John is the only one who has been suckered.
After school one day, they were both so dirty that I just hosed them off outside - which of course they thought was the best thing ever.
My garden is finished and so super cute! John and the kids were a fantastic help getting it all done :)
Last weekend, Madeleine had a twig in her hand and fell while we were playing outside - jamming the twig into the corner of her eyelid. It swelled something terrible and I took her to Urgent Care, who promptly sent us to the ER.
Thankfully she is perfectly fine and she had a great time getting hooked up to everything and having all the attention on her. We were the only ones at the ER (how often does that happen??) and so several of the nurses and a few doctors came to play "check up" with her. It actually turned into a good experience for her!
