Improvising on a hot day





Who would have thought it would be 95 degrees on April 25th? The warmth did feel great and we spent the day mostly outdoors with a flag football game in the morning and then a little water fun in the afternoon. Brett loves anything that has to do with water. I've found him more than once standing in a bathroom sink with the water on full blast; he loves to put toys in the dog's water bowl and splash water all over the floor; and today was no exception with lots of hose and sprayer fun. The water coming from the hose was COLD despite the 90+ degree air temperature but that didn't keep him from spraying himself in the face, body and head. He loved it. I had planned to get him a plastic pool for the summer but since it is only April, I haven't gotten around to that yet. So we improvised. A snow sled was still in the backyard and he occasionally calls it a boat and sits in it. I let him fill that up with water and he played in it just like a plastic pool. He still called it his boat so at some point we will have to teach him that filling boats up with water isn't actually a good idea! But, today it was a perfect idea and made for a couple hours of fun!

He is so cute and growing up so quickly! Funny, Bodie calls our sled a "boat", too! He sits in it and sings "Row, row, row your boat". :)
