Have I mentioned before how much I love sprinklers? I LOVE sprinklers. If I weren't already married, I might marry a sprinkler.
It's the best equation in the world during the summer:
HOT DAY + KIDS + SPRINKLER = STRESSFREE PLAYDATE FOR MOM
For the second day in a row, Jake has a friend over. Both days, the boys have spent most of their playdate in the sprinkler in the front yard. They are Power Rangers, they are Transformers, they are washing the car...whatever, the important thing is they are NOT fighting over toys. They are giggling and happy, the way boys in a life insurance commercial would be.
I've got to figure out how to recreate this in the winter...
By the way, if anyone else has recently decided to teach their (almost) 5-year-old The Golden Rule, heed my warning. You will constantly live with, "Mommy, remember The Golden Rule. Respect!"
I'm so close to screaming, Cartman-style
But really, that's not what I would want done to me...
