Cooling Off

Today felt like summer. We worked on outdoor projects, watched Abby parade around in sunglasses and a diaper (and nothing else), and ate lunch on the deck. I love that summer feeling. And what could be more summer than watching your child run through the sprinkler?


Well, the sprinkler didn't entice her, but drinking from the hose did. Of course with a daddy who loves a laugh and a mama who loves pictures, drinking from the hose turned into a very wet affair. Lucky for us, our kiddo LOVES water, and after a few hugs from warm (formerly dry) mama, I think she has recovered from the shock of Daddy chasing her with the hose. Here are a few of my favorites:

I couldn't decide between the color and black & white. Which one do you like?

Abby's favorite thing at preschool is washing her hands at the sink. The other kids will go to the sensory room or the art room or play with cars, but Abigail parks herself on the sink stool and washes, washes, washes. This made it easy to lure her to the hose.

My wet kiddo. I love this shot.

This is what happened when we told Abby to look at the flower. I laugh every time I see this.

Looking up at Daddy. The feet in the background are what get me here.
Taking another drink.

"Ahhh!" Refreshing?

And here's where Daddy chases Abby around the yard with the water.

Run, Abby, run! She did. Right into my lap.

But that didn't stop her from getting another drink.
It feels so good to have some summer weather. We're going to be making the most of our time as a family of three for the next eight weeks or so. Thanks for stopping by!
