So, this is boy heaven!

The weather has been absolutely perfect lately, in the 70s and 80s and sunny! We are loving it! And today was no exception. After soccer the boys really wanted to go swim, but we weren't feeling totally up for the pool! So dad hooked up the sprinkler under the trampoline and filled the little kiddie pool and.... they were in heaven! The water was great, but.... the MUD was BETTER! Finally, all that dirt in our back yard being put to good use! :)
I wish I had gotten pictures of them actually playing in it, but this is what the yard looked like after they gave up. (And they only gave up when the dirt in their pants caused enough discomfort to warrant quitting!) :)
The river of "water" from the sprinkler.The river again, swallowing the shoes that were missing from their feet.
And finally... the master minds! :)They had mud EVERYWHERE! They had even managed to launch it everywhere, including at each other. (Ya, Harrison's back didn't get that look all by itself.) They had a blast out there for about an hour and a half! And we got a good laugh watching them!
