Summer + Kids + Water = Fun

The movie theater right by our house has a fountain that gets turned on every summer and the kids love to go there and play in it. It's great because the Mom's can sit on a bench and chat while the kids wear themselves out - and the best part is I don't have to put on a swimsuit (not ready for that yet).

We have gone several times this week, and I'm sure we will spend a lot of our time here.

The kids like to bring cups (the red thing in the picture), put them on the nozzles, and watch them shoot up with the water.

The girls prefer to watch from a distance. They con their brothers into filling their cups for them which they promptly dump on the ground and then ask for a refill. Big brothers are great for stuff like that!

And when the sun gets too hot, they wrap themselves in a towel and take a break.

I had to include a picture of the prettiest baby in the world. She will be a month old tomorrow. She is still so sweet and never cries if someone is holding her. She does not like to be alone so it's a good thing we have a lot of helping hands (sometimes too helpful). My house is a wreck right now because I spend a lot of my day nursing and holding her, but I don't care. It reminds me of this poem:

"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow

for babies grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.

So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep

I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."

So pardon the mess if you come to my house!!
