Get Out!

Of the house that is. Today was beautiful outside.

Since it had been so nice this morning, the younger two kids and I went to the store immediately after dropping Little Bear at school to get a few new things for outdoor fun. We stocked up on sunblock, giant chalk, and bought two spray bottles to fill with water. 

So after picking Little Bear up from school, I fed the kids lunch and then kicked them outside!

They spent the next few hours coloring all over the deck (and fighting over who got to color in each spot regardless of the fact that they were given an entire half of the deck to color...),

having a short lived squirt bottle fight,

 

 which soon turned into washing their playhouse (Little Bear was sprayed in the face and did NOT like that so he decided that he was "on duty" and needed to work instead.).

So, they went their separate ways...

with Little Bear hard at work making the house spotless

 and Pudge spraying random things with water..

Meanwhile, Pequeño was enjoying the peace, quiet, and air-conditioning

Every once in a while, I would make the older two come in the house for a cool off which they thought was the worst thing ever. After a few hours, they had both had enough though and gladly came inside to take a "rest".
