Oh joy, the sprinklers!

Abigail and Jonathan were playing in the backyard the other evening and I thought the sprinklers had already gone off. Well, they hadn't. They came running in, their hair and clothes half damp, faces aglow with smiles and wide eyes, exclaiming that the sprinklers had turned on. Then they stood for a few seconds, wiggling excitedly with mouths agape, awaiting our instructions. Oh, how I would have loved to see their faces and hear what they said as they watched the sprinklers come up and start spraying! We adults just looked at them with smiles on our faces, probably all trying to imagine the outdoor scene. Someone said something and the two turned around and ran back outside. We looked out the window to see Abigail striping her clothes off. Jake hurried out to keep them both from becoming jay birds, and they ran back into the water for 10 minutes of fun. As Courtney said, they wouldn’t have had as much fun if we had planned it!
I'll have you know I spent over a hour trying to get these pictures on here without them be placed all over the post and the writing to be all different sizes. Maybe our blog will change to another host... will let you know.
