BEST day ever!

This is what the kids keep doing whenever they get a chance (while we're in the pool area of course). They LOVE dipping their feet in the pool. Ashley calls it "relaxing." LOL ha ha :) After church on Sunday (now that we have early morning) it was warming up. Anson came home and took all his clothes off (while on the patio) and followed Ben into the pool area to relax & dip his feet! I'd say he looks pretty relaxed!
Then the kids decided to do something a little more exciting. Ben turned on the sprinklers in the front yard to "water the grass." The kids saw it as "a fun opportunity" to play! Nathaniel came into the house showing me his wet clothes & thanking me for "the BEST day ever!" So I had to go outside and see for myself. This is what I saw & couldn't help but take some pictures.

Here's Nathaniel swinging on the rope in the sprinkler.

Felicia called it "Rope Skiing!"

They made a big mud pit & they also used it like a slip'n'slide.

This was Anson's version of playing in the water. Yes, this is how he was 'dressed' in the front yard running through our gutter. ha ha

Trevor was having a blast!
Ashley finally decided to join in, but she changed into her swimsuit first.
{Can you see the pretty rainbow?}

Ashley got a little muddy. She tried to wash it off using the sink while the boys were in the shower. I told her to wait. The girls got the pleasure of mopping the bathroom & cleaning the sink when they were done because they got the muddiest. tee hee :)
As it turned out, Ben didn't realize they were playing in the sprinklers & made a huge muddy mess. So, he wasn't too happy to see the front yard (which we work really hard to make it look nice) when they were done. Ooops! I thought he had told them it was ok to play in the sprinklers. LOL

Well, they were thanking me for letting them have so much FUN!! And they reminded me that it was their "BEST DAY EVER!"

I guess I'm not the meanest mom in the world (not that day anyway). ha ha
