RIDDLE

What do you get when you have 4 sensory kids, 1 princess, 2 crazy moms and water? A giant WATER FIGHT!

We had the kids out in the pool (except those that were grounded) and they kept splashing the princess who didn't know that she could splash them back. So finally this mommy got tired of the princess crying because she was splashed and the splashers never getting splashed back and took action. I helped the princess get a bucket and pour it on the instigating splasher. Well of course I got wet so I just jumped in with my clothes on and helped the splashers all get really wet. Then the other mommy joined in. Oh, and those who were grounded from the pool suddenly were ungrounded just for a free for all.

Just picture it two mommies in their 30's, a giant water obsessed 7 year old, a lanky 5 year old, and a not so giant water obsessed 5 year old, a 3 total sensory year old, and a tired almost 3 year old. With cups buckets, a hose, oh and did I mention that the pool was only 6 feet wide and 18 inches deep.

Needless to say we were all soaked and had a ton of fun!

Happy Birthday to Steven

So Steve turned 31 today. We had roast for dinner with potatoes and carrots. Katrina made him cake and a gluten free peach cobbler for us. She is sweet and always helping us out.

Jenai is sitting here playing that her naked water baby doll is her cousin Kiri. It is cute! Of course little does she know that as soon as I click post she is off to her bed.

We are all doing well and the summer is moving along swiftly. It seems like we get up eat, do some school (we go year round 3 days a week), eat lunch, have quiet time or some other activity eat dinner and then go to bed.

I just wanted to do a quick post to update so Steve can't say I never do it. (Now Jenai is saying that Steve is Uncle Brian and she is Josette. She of course convinced Daddy that she needs to cuddle with him instead of going right to bed.)

Time to tuck in! Have a good night all!
