Feel free to try this at home.

When it is warm outside, there is nothing better than turning the sprinkler on and letting the kids loose. 

Connor wasted no time in developing a water game where he tried to cut the water with a styrofoam axe. It wasn't all that effective, but he seemed to be having a good time. 

This was the first time Sophia had experienced the sprinkler. She spent the first five minutes holding her binky in the spray of the water. After I took the binky away, she spent the remainder of our sprinkler time standing in almost the same exact spot making small screaming noises. Yep...pretty exciting, but since it is her first time we are going to let it slide. Just this once.
